Malachi Fields Could be "Power Forward" at Wide Receiver
New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen said that rookie third-round wide receiver Malachi Fields, who stands at 6-foot-4 and 223 pounds, can be the team's "power forward" in the WR room in 2026, according to Jordan Raanan of ESPN. The Giants lost Wan'Dale Robinson in free agency this offseason, and Darius Slayton (abdomen) will be out until July after core-muscle surgery, so the 22-year-old Fields could see plenty of offensive snaps for the G-Men in his first year in the NFL next to Malik Nabers (knee) and offseason acquisition Darnell Mooney after the Giants traded up to select him in the third round. Fields spent the first four years in college at Virginia before finishing his career at Notre Dame in 2025, where he caught 36 passes for 630 yards (17.5 yards per catch) and five touchdowns in 12 games played. Fields is a big-play threat that could really complement Nabers well in an offense led by rising young QB Jaxson Dart. There's plenty to like about Fields long-term in dynasty/keeper leagues, but he'll probably go undrafted in redraft leagues later this year.
