NBC Sports Rotoworld on Malachi Fields
From the article
Since the switch to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, Fields has seen a 19 percent target share in back-to-back games, including a WR20 fantasy performance in Week 7 against the Texans...the Giants' receivers will have the tenth-easiest remaining schedule, including fantasy playoff matchups against the Lions and Cowboys.
STACKED’s take
Fields' 19% target share with McCarthy and easy playoff schedule signal breakout potential.
Fields is available in at least 90 percent of Sleeper App leagues and will likely get dropped during the Giants' bye week in Week 8, but signs point to a legitimate breakout coming soon. Since the switch to J.J. McCarthy at quarterback, Fields has seen a 19 percent target share in back-to-back games, including a WR20 fantasy performance in Week 7 against the Texans. McCarthy's tendencies as a passer play to Fields' strengths; both thrive downfield, especially outside the numbers, and McCarthy's gunslinger approach works in tandem with Fields' contested catch abilities. Once Fields returns in Week 9, the Giants receivers will have the tenth-easiest remaining schedule, including fantasy playoff matchups against the Lions and Cowboys, both in the top six in fantasy points allowed to wide receivers.
