Video: Week 8 Waiver Wire - Prioritize Rookie WRs
Malachi Fields was wide receiver 18 so far this week. Just two games this season better than wide receiver 72. But both of those games were top 24 scoring weeks. JJ McCarthy is ripping these tight window targets and Malachi Fields is going up and getting it. McCarthy's been playing really well. 23% target share when he's on the field for Malachi Fields makes it a little more split between him and likely.

WR18 this week; 23% target share; tight-window specialist with upside

Malachi Fields was WR18 this week. Though he's only had two games better than WR72 ranking this season, both were top-24 scoring weeks. JJ McCarthy is hitting tight window targets and Fields is going up to get them; he's a bruiser with strong after-the-catch ability dragging defenders. With McCarthy playing well, Fields has a 23% target share when on the field, which creates a split with Isaiah Likely and could be a thorn in Likely's target share going forward.
