Slayton inherits a deep role that produced 2.1 points last week, which is the part nobody puts in the headline. Indianapolis is a 2.5-point underdog in a 42.5-point game against Houston, the least generous environment on the slate for a field-stretcher. That is a bench add, not a lineup piece. Claim him if your bye weeks are ugly, and hold Pierce, because nothing about a two-week absence changes an asset owned in every league.
