Enters transfer portal Fields has entered the transfer portal, Pete Nakos of On3 reports.

Impact Having only one year of collegiate eligibility remaining, Fields joins many seniors using the transfer portal to maximize opportunities for their last season as student athletes. While enrolled at Virginia, he logged 129 receptions for 1,849 yards and 11 touchdowns.

DECEMBER 17, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tame output in loss Fields gathered in 2 of 4 targets for 20 yards during Saturday's 37-17 loss against Virginia Tech.

Impact Fields was held in check against the rival Hokies. The wideout closed his season with his lowest yardage output of the year, but Fields still put together a very solid campaign in 2024, amassing 808 yards and five touchdowns on 55 catches. The senior could possibly have one more year of eligibility remaining.

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in loss Fields hauled in 4 of 6 targets for 42 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 33-7 loss to Southern Methodist.

Impact Fields continued his excellent season, adding on another touchdown. The receiver needs just 12 yards against Virginia Tech this week to crack 800 receiving yards this fall. A poor passing attack caps his ceiling, but Fields is the most consistent option on this Cavaliers' offense.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leafing receiver in blowout loss Fields posted four receptions (on seven targets) for 81 yards during Saturday's 35-14 defeat versus Notre Dame.

Impact Fields was Virginia's top pass-catcher in its lopsided loss to the Irish. Given the abysmal play of starter Anthony Colandrea, it's somewhat of a miracle the wideout managed to salvage his day with four grabs for 81 yards. This Cavaliers' passing offense should be avoided at all costs from a fantasy perspective, however.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet in victory Fields gathered in all two targets for 11 yards during Saturday's 24-19 victory over Pittsburgh.

Impact Fields was quiet against the Panthers, but he also only saw two targets - there was little effort to get him involved. Considering the receiver averages 8.6 targets-per-game, that's a down week for Fields. He'll look to be a bigger factor in the Cavaliers' passing attack next week against Notre Dame.

NOVEMBER 12, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Held in check vs. Tar Heels Fields posted three receptions (on six targets) for 48 yards during Saturday's 41-14 defeat versus North Carolina.

Impact Fields had one of his quietest outings of the season, and it certainly didn't help that his quarterback Anthony Colandrea struggled mightily as well. Virginia's offense is in a rough way right now, and while Fields should continue to see his fair share of targets and designed plays, this struggling offense may cap his potential.

OCTOBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Scores long TD in loss Fields hauled in 3 of 6 targets for 65 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 48-31 defeat to Clemson.

Impact Fields' touchdown was a 44-yard score with Virginia not quite out of the game just yet. Other than that, however, he was mostly bottled up. After seeing a whopping 17 targets against Louisville, Fields saw just six against Clemson. Still, he'll remain the top option in this passing game moving forward.

OCTOBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Huge day vs. Louisville Fields posted nine receptions (on 17 targets) for 129 yards during Saturday's 24-20 defeat to Louisville.

Impact Fields was targeted early and often against Louisville, and it resulted in his second-biggest performance of the season. His 17 targets were easily a season-high, as Virginia quarterback Anthony Colandrea looked his way time and time again. In every game but one this season, Fields has either scored a touchdown or topped 100 yards receiving. That'll play from a fantasy perspective, but the receiver has a daunting matchup next weekend against Clemson.

OCTOBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Leading receiver in victory Fields gathered in 4 of 6 targets for 63 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 24-14 victory against Boston College.

Impact Fields remains the top receiving option for Virginia, as he's logged four catches in three straight games and has three touchdowns over the past two games. He's consistently targeted by quarterback Anthony Colandrea, and more often than not turns that into a viable stat-line for fantasy purposes. He'll look to remain the go-to option for the Cavaliers next week against Louisville.

OCTOBER 7, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hauls in two scores Fields had four receptions (on six targets) for 65 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 43-24 victory over Coastal Carolina.

Impact Fields had a nice bounce-back performance from a fantasy perspective with two touchdowns. He remains Virginia's top receiver, and he showed why against the Chanticleers. Fields has yet to see fewer than six targets in a game this season.

SEPTEMBER 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Quiet day despite 11 targets Fields reeled in 4 of 11 targets for 36 yards during Saturday's 27-13 loss against Maryland.

Impact Fields missed the century mark in receiving yards for this first time this season, but it wasn't for a lack of opportunities. He saw 11 targets in Week 3, but caught just four of those passes. Despite the quieter day in the loss, Fields remains the undisputed top wideout in this offense. He'll look to bounce back against Costal Carolina in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Racks up 11 catches Fields compiled zero targets during Saturday's 31-30 win over Wake Forest.

Impact Fields has now hit the 100-yard mark in each of Virginia's first two contests. He needed 11 catches to do it against Wake Forest, but he also amassed 158 receiving yards. He's clearly the favorite target of quarterback Anthony Colandrea, and should remain a very solid fantasy option when Virginia hosts Maryland in Week 3.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits 100-yard mark Fields notched five receptions (on six targets) for 100 yards during Saturday's 34-13 victory against Richmond.

Impact Fields was Virginia's top receiver in the opener, leading the wideouts in targets and production. That bodes well for his future as the top pass-catcher in this offense; Fields should continue to lead the way for the Cavaliers as the competition level increases.

SEPTEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hits 100-yard mark Fields notched five receptions (on six targets) for 100 yards during Saturday's 34-13 victory against Richmond.

Scores twice in loss Fields posted six receptions (on 11 targets) for 89 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 55-17 loss against Virginia Tech.

Impact Fields found his fifth receiving touchdown of the season on a 3-yards pass from Anthony Colandrea during the final minutes of the fourth quarter. The 6-foot-4 wide receiver for the Cavaliers finishes the regular season with 58 receptions on 100 targets for 811 yards and five touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Finds end zone in win Fields reeled in four of five targets for 74 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 30-27 victory over Duke.

Impact Fields found the end zone on a 29-yard pass from Anthony Colandrea for his third receiving touchdown of the year. The junior wide receiver has four straight games with more than 50 receiving yards. He has totaled 52 receptions for 722 yards and three touchdowns.

NOVEMBER 20, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Solid production in loss Fields hauled in all seven targets for 67 yards during Saturday's 29-26 overtime defeat versus Miami (FL).

Impact Fields finished second in receptions and yards behind Malik Washington (12-152) while totaling at least 60 yards for the third time in the last four games. The junior wideout has totaled 39 receptions for 498 yards and two touchdowns across eight games. The Cavaliers will face Georgia Tech in Saturday's matchup.

Virginia WR Malachi Fields poised for a breakout season Virginia wide receiver Malachi Fields is ready to take the next step and the staff are excited to see him live up to his potential.

AUGUST 14, 2023 • 247SPORTS.COM

Will miss fall camp Fields (undisclosed) won't participate in fall camp, per Mike Barber of the Richmond Times-Dispatch.

Impact The tall wideout only caught 11 passes for 172 yards in 2021, but was primed to make a jump up the depth chart in his second season with a strong fall camp. Fields will work to get healthy by the time the season rolls around, but Wisconsin transfer Devin Chandler and senior Hayden Mitchell should get more reps in his absence.
