Video: Malachi Fields Has A Real Chance To Contribute In New York | Reception Perception The Show
Maybe they've finally found a guy who um you know, might might might displace Darius Slayton as that boundary receiver... I just don't think Slayton is going to have a big role on this team. Like they just traded up for Fields, they brought in Calvin Austin, they brought in Darnell Mooney... What it's going to allow us to do is get Darius Slayton off the ball like he normally does. He's going to be our flanker.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalDepth Chart

Displaced as boundary receiver; relegated to flanker role with limited target upside.

Matt Harmon doubts Slayton will have a significant role on the Giants given the team's recent acquisitions: they traded up for Malachi Fields, brought in Calvin Austin, and added Darnell Mooney. Harmon sees Slayton as a potential sacrificial X receiver at times, but not a primary target in the new offensive scheme. With Fields joining the Giants, Slayton is expected to move to flanker role to accommodate Fields as the primary outside X receiver. The coaching staff will likely deploy Fields on the boundary as a ball-winning downfield threat, which shifts Slayton's role and snap distribution.
