Malachi Fields News
Saturday, October 3, 6:42 AM
New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields has hauled in six of 12 targets for 74 yards in three games to start the 2026 season. Despite a crowded training camp, Fields has stepped up as the WR2 in this offense, playing 74% of snaps and running 68% of routes. However, the Giants' offense under offensive coordinator Matt Nagy ranks 28th in pass attempts and 30th in pass rate over expected. With star receiver Malik Nabers and tight end Isaiah Likely dominating the volume in this passing attack, little is left for the rookie receiver. Fields faces an Arizona Cardinals secondary that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. The snaps and matchup are there, but Fields' Week 4 fantasy value will hinge on the Giants' willingness to throw to him against a struggling Cardinals secondary.

Kevin Coleman Jr. News
Saturday, October 3, 3:51 AM
Miami Dolphins wide receiver Kevin Coleman Jr. has been on the field regularly over the last two weeks, although the fifth-round rookie from Missouri has yet to make much of an impact. He played 46% of snaps in Week 2 and saw that increase to 62% of snaps in Week 3 with Caleb Douglas (ankle) out. Without Douglas, Coleman served as the Dolphins' third receiver behind Malik Washington and Chris Bell, but he only managed one catch for three yards on four targets. He only had two targets and no catches in the first two weeks of the season, so without Douglas, he did get a big boost in involvement. Douglas is out again in Week 4 against the Vikings, which should lead to Coleman getting good playing time once again. However, he's still only the No. 122 WR in RotoBaller's Week 4 rankings, so he's only worth a look as a punt play in DFS or a desperation play in extremely deep leagues.
