Kendrick Bourne News
Thursday, August 20, 10:49 AM
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Kendrick Bourne has a real job in this offense. Fantasy managers just shouldn't confuse that with a big one. Arizona has him slotted behind Marvin Harrison Jr. and Michael Wilson, and the team called Bourne an "upper-level No. 3" this week. Bourne seems perfectly fine with that. He told the Cardinals he chased a bigger role in New England and now feels back in the role that fits him best under Mike LaFleur. Last season gives you a pretty good picture of the upside and the problem. Bourne caught 37 passes for 551 yards and no touchdowns, with 284 of those yards coming in back-to-back 142-yard games. He did catch a 12-yarder from Jacoby Brissett in Arizona's second preseason game, but there isn't much here pointing to a volume jump. Harrison, Wilson and Trey McBride all have stronger claims on targets. Bourne can help Arizona. In standard redraft leagues, he's still mostly an injury-away depth option.

Malachi Fields News
Tuesday, September 8, 6:41 AM
New York Giants wide receiver Malachi Fields is a rookie out of Notre Dame and might now be the No. 2 wide receiver for the Giants. Matt Legros of Giants Wire of USA Today broke down the latest Fields news, writing, "Malachi Fields is in line for a much larger role with the New York Giants after the team moved on from veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton on Monday. The rookie now has an opportunity to entrench himself as the No. 2 receiver opposite Malik Nabers." The No. 2 receiver in the Giants offense could be a productive role for FIelds, who turned heads in camp according to Legros: "Fields was particularly impressive during the preseason, showing strong hands and the ability to create plays downfield. He also connected well with quarterback Jaxson Dart, strengthening his case for meaningful snaps once the regular season begins." Fields looks like an impact player right out of the gate for the Giants.
