Malachi Fields: Malachi Fields Too Risky to Trust in Week 10

New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields is gaining momentum as he enters the backstretch of the 2026 season. In eight games, Fields has caught 19 of 35 targets for 288 yards and a touchdown, averaging 5.5 half-PPR fantasy points per game. In two starts with quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields has caught seven passes for 123 yards, solidifying his status as the clear WR2 ahead of veteran Darnell Mooney. The rookie receiver faces a Washington Commanders defense that has allowed the 11th most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. Rain is expected to be a factor in East Rutherford on Thursday night, which could limit the Giants' passing game despite a favorable matchup. Fields is best left on fantasy benches this week, though his WR2 role will be something to monitor in Week 10.
