Fields is every bit of his listed 6-4, 222-pound stature and understands how to use that size to his advantage. He made an impressive grab over the middle in 7-on-7 drills where he boxed out the defender for a catch, earning praise from Cam Skattebo. Both players absolutely have the chance to work themselves into meaningful roles this year, with Fields having a slight edge over Colton Hood simply because the staff seems really high on Greg Newsome.

Rookie wide receiver Fields is going at WR86 (19.07 in NFFC) and has every opportunity to smash ADP despite the Giants' offensive limitations. His tape, athleticism, and skill set are an obvious fit for a team lacking depth. Even if Malik Nabers returns to full health by Week 2, Fields would still be useful as a big-bodied X who can win downfield and in short areas for PPR value early, then serve as a weekly big-play flex player once Nabers returns. Darnell Mooney's presence as a clearout player allows both Fields and Nabers plenty of room and flexibility to see single coverage.

Fields is a big-play specialist from Notre Dame at 6'5" with positive camp reports so far. The source drafted him in a late round pick and sees him carving into a bigger role. He could be a hot waiver wire pickup a couple weeks into the season, though his long-term role depends on Neighbors' health. The source thinks Fields is already the second-best WR on the Giants roster but acknowledges he has a lot of veterans in front of him from camp experience.

Third-round WR pick for the Giants with a skill set to be a contested-catch option for Jaxson Dart; could form a thunder-and-lightning combination with Malik Nabers and has enough upside to be the WR1 if Nabers cannot return from his ACL injury. Despite modest college production (5 TDs in each of last three years, never more than 811 yards), Fields showed good contact ability and size; positioned behind Nabers in a receiver room that includes aging veterans like Darius Slayton, Calvin Austin III, JuJu Smith-Schuster, Darnell Mooney, Odell Beckham Jr., and Isaiah Hodgins.

Fields carries ECR of WR98 but projects as WR136 with only 20.9 projected FPTS; however, he lands in an intriguing spot with the Giants after being selected in the third round of the 2026 NFL Draft. The 6-foot-5 receiver brings size and downfield ability, flashing strong ball skills and separation ability throughout the pre-draft process despite a disappointing Combine 40 time. Fields profiles as a strong fit alongside Jaxson Dart given his vertical play style, and Malik Nabers' injury could open the door for early-season opportunities. He's positioned as an intriguing rookie stash with upside if he earns immediate snaps during training camp.

#Giants first training camp practice over. Here’s the update post-workout - Malik Nabers went through individual drills and full-offense (no defense) at full speed. He made a couple hard cuts, looked good in the ladder drill. There wasn’t as much burst (seemed a tad timid in certain portions), but that’s expected. It’s early, and a long ways to go, but hard not to feel optimistic about Week 1. - Crazy Odell Beckham Jr is back. Still weird seeing him in the blue again. He looks good, too. As J...
