5 WRs Rams Should Target After Puka Nacua Injury News

Darius Slayton, New York Giants

The veteran wide receiver is still a big part of the Giants offense as he played 72% of offensive snaps in Week 1. But those snaps didn't go well for New York as their dysfunctional offense failed to do much against the Vikings defense. Once again, it will be a long season for the Giants with Daniel Jones under center.

This would allow Darius Slayton to be moved in a trade. The Giants drafted Malik Nabers in the first round this year and they have another talented young receiver in Wan'Dale Robinson. They also want to give more of a chance to second-year player Jalin Hyatt.

In this crowded rotation, there might not be a place for Slayton as the Giants prioritize their younger players. The 27-year-old finished last season with 50 catches, 770 yards, and four touchdowns, showcasing that he can still contribute as a WR2/3 on a competitive team.

Elijah Moore, Cleveland Browns

Talk about falling out of favor. The Browns traded for talented Elijah Moore with a ton of expectation in the 2023 offseason. Even though he had his best season last year, he has failed to live up to the hype he had when he first came into the league in 2021.

The Browns added Jerry Jeudy in the offseason and have young receivers like Cedric Tillman and Jamari Thrash on the rise. Moore is buried in the depth chart as he finished Week 1 with three catches for nine yards. He needs a change of scenery and the Rams could give it to him. He is one of the best receivers the Rams could realistically trade for at this point in the season.
