Malachi Fields Too Risky to Trust in Week 10

Wednesday, November 11, 4:13 PM

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.

Ted Hurst III News

Ted Hurst III is Not a Viable Streaming Option for Week 9

Friday, November 6, 12:15 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Ted Hurst III was held without a catch for the second straight week. Hurst once again was blanked with zero catches on one target in the win over the Atlanta Falcons. It's not all his fault; it's tough to do anything when the Bucs only attempted three passes all game long. The rookie wideout has been held without a catch in three of the last four games. He does draw a favorable matchup against the Chicago Bears defense in Week 9. A defensive unit that ranks 19th in passing yards allowed this season. Despite that, Hurst hasn't done anything to warrant trusting him. He could fall further down the depth chart with Emeka Egbuka (foot) possibly returning this weekend. Hurst is worth a stash in deep leagues, but he shouldn't be started this weekend.
