Malachi Corley

22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
New York Jets
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jets took Corley with the first pick of the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft, 65th overall. He had a prolific college career at Western Kentucky, including 29 TDs over the last three seasons while drawing at least 103 targets each year. Corley mostly caught short passes, with his ability to gain yards after the catch being his standout trait. He's even been compared to Deebo Samuel, though a 4.56 40 at his pro day suggests Corley is a step slower than the 49ers' star receiver. The lack of straight-line speed isn't disqualifying, especially given Corley's strength and bulky frame (5-11, 215). The rookie figures to start his career as New York's third or fourth wide receiver, behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams at the very least. Immediate fantasy value thus seems unlikely unless Williams struggles to return from an ACL tear or Wilson misses time with an injury. Read Past Outlooks

Makes first NFL catch
WRNew York Jets
September 16, 2024
Corley caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 24-17 win over the Titans.
ANALYSIS
For a second consecutive week, Corley was on the field for only one snap, but he was targeted on that snap this time, resulting in his first NFL catch. The rookie third-round draft pick isn't seeing the field enough to be an impact player at this stage of his career, and Corley's unlikely to see a significant increase in usage Thursday against the Patriots.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Route running needs improvement
WRNew York Jets
July 28, 2024
Coach Robert Saleh said Friday that Corley has a "long way to go" with his route running, but the rookie will have plenty of opportunities to demonstrate improvement over the next two weeks as the Jets' primary slot option while Xavier Gipson recovers from a leg injury, Connor Hughes of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Friday brought bittersweet news for Corley, who is competing with Gipson for the slot receiver role. Corley doesn't seem to have refined his route running at Western Kentucky, putting the 2024 third-round draft pick in an early hole in this training camp competition, but Gipson's injury could open the door for Corley to earn the coaching staff's trust and develop a rapport with Aaron Rodgers in training camp.
