Matt Waldman on Malachi Fields

Ninth overall ranked; shallow-route specialist who masks QB accuracy limitations.

Ranked ninth overall by Fernando Mendoza despite skepticism of QB Jackson Dart. Fields projects for significant usage inside and in shallow ranges, with expected early-season volume as Malik Neighbors (ACL recovery) may be limited to straight-line routes. Fields' combination of quickness and power enables strong after-the-catch production and ability to make people miss or run through them. Critically, Fields can 'erase some of the inaccuracies that you see from Jackson Dart' on intermediate to deep throws where Dart struggles. With Neighbors, Cam Scatabo, and Tyrone Tracy occupying defensive attention, Fields should draw advantageous matchups and mismatches.
