Stats through week 6; the week 7 projection below. Checked Oct 21, 2026. Full game log.

“We said” is the projection as it was published that week, stored before the game, with the miss beside it. Re-running today’s model on a past week would grade a model that did not exist when the number went out, so those weeks show a dash instead.

Through 6 games of 2026, Malachi Fields has 12 catches for 165 receiving yards (2.0 catches and 27.5 yards a game), with 1 touchdown, on 76% of snaps.
