Giants' Malachi Fields Could Get a Bigger Workload
The Giants shouldn't sleep on this promising player.
Malachi Fields made a strong impact during his first preseason outing with the New York Giants. The third-round pick was given three targets against the Minnesota Vikings, and he excelled with three catches for 34 yards and a touchdown. Fields showcased his ability to handle contested catches, resulting in an impressive 88.5 PFF receiving grade.
His efficiency was also evident with a nearly perfect 153.5 passer rating. The Giants' receiver room is already crowded, with Malik Nabers and several veterans vying for a share of the offense. While Fields wasn't expected to receive a substantial workload right away, his stellar performance could make it more challenging for the team to limit his participation in the upcoming season.
At just 22 years old, Fields has time to build on his impressive debut. Although one preseason game doesn't guarantee his role for the entire season, Fields has significantly improved his prospects with his outstanding performance against the Vikings.
