Malachi Fields' Breakout Game Could Come Against Texans

Friday, October 23, 6:37 PM

New York Giants rookie wide receiver Malachi Fields hauled in just two of eight targets for 19 yards in the 34-27 loss to the New Orleans Saints. While Fields has struggled to produce in recent weeks, he has fully taken over the WR2 role after playing a season-high 94% of snaps in Week 6. He'll continue to operate behind top targets Malik Nabers and Isaiah Likely, but with his high snap count, it's only a matter of time before Fields has his breakout game. It could come in Week 7 against a Houston Texans defense that has allowed the second-most fantasy points to wide receivers this season. While their elite pass rush could pose problems for new starting quarterback J.J. McCarthy, Fields is positioned for a big game in Week 7 and could be a waiver-wire target next week.

Ted Hurst III Offers Plug-and-Play Potential Against Carolina

Saturday, October 24, 7:00 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers rookie wide receiver Ted Hurst III could provide emergency flex value in Sunday's Week 7 matchup against Carolina, with Emeka Egbuka (concussion/foot) ruled out. Hurst played 50% of Tampa Bay's offensive snaps against Pittsburgh last week, drawing six targets. Through six games, he has caught 11 passes for 168 yards and one touchdown, leaving his weekly production difficult to trust. Chris Godwin Jr. and Tez Johnson will also compete for targets, while quarterback Baker Mayfield (thumb) is questionable but expected to start. Ranked WR44 by RotoBaller for Week 7, Hurst offers plug-and-play potential as an emergency flex option in deeper leagues.
