Malachi Fields, drafted by New York in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame, was a major standout from the Giants' 13-10 loss against the Vikings. Fields scored the team's only touchdown, cashing in on a Jaxson Dart throw on the run by using his height and athleticism to high-point the football in the corner of the end zone. On the day, Fields caught all three of his targets for a total of 34 yards, operating as a boundary receiver.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalBreakout

Fields' TD and 3-for-3 performance signals early breakout potential in preseason.

Third-round 2026 draft pick from Notre Dame was a major standout in the Giants' preseason opener against Minnesota, scoring the team's only touchdown on a Jaxson Dart pass by high-pointing the ball in the corner of the end zone. Caught all three targets for 34 yards operating as a boundary receiver despite not starting. With starters Darius Slayton and Darnell Mooney combining for zero targets, Fields is positioned to push for significant snaps sooner rather than later, especially with Malik Nabers' imminent return.
