Big Blue View on Malachi Fields
From the article
Fields saw 47 plays on Sunday, 44 on offense and three on special teams. That said, Fields was targeted twice and caught both passes for 19 yards. Fields' best work continues to be away from the ball, serving as a blocker on both run and pass plays.
STACKED’s take
Fields' limited targets (2 catches, 19 yards) reflect pass-game de-emphasis; value lies in blocking.
Giants' rookie wide receiver saw 47 plays (44 offensive, 3 special teams) but was targeted only twice, catching both for 19 yards. The passing game was de-emphasized due to weather and/or lack of faith in Jameis Winston. Fields is not a natural separator but is developing a sense of settling into zone coverage voids. His best work comes away from the ball as a blocker on run and pass plays, though his blocks aren't consistently accurate yet. The Giants kept Fields out wide (X or Flanker) rather than close to the formation as an insert blocker, a potential adjustment to the Titans' defense, Jaxson Dart's absence, or an evolution of how Fields is deployed.
