Malachi Corley

23-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
Cleveland Browns
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Despite being drafted 65th overall last year, Corley played just 83 snaps on offense in nine games for the Jets. His one near-highlight was instead a disaster, with the rookie dropping the ball a split-second before he crossed the goal line on what should've been a 19-yard TD run on national television in Week 9. It was a lost fumble instead, and while the Jets continued using him in a part-time role for the next few weeks, Corley was a healthy scratch multiple times in December. He has a shot to earn far more playing time Year 2, with Garrett Wilson being New York's only sure starter at wide receiver, although it'll likely be a run-first offense spearheaded by QB Justin Fields and RB Breece Hall. Corley at least is capable of helping the run game, as he's built like a running back (5-foot-11, 215) and earned a huge portion of his yards after the catch during a prolific career at Western Kentucky (3,035 receiving yards, 29 TDs). It's unclear, however, if Corley has the speed and finesse skills to separate from NFL cornerbacks. Read Past Outlooks

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Unlikely to make team
WRNew York Jets
August 21, 2025
Corley probably won't make the Jets' 53-man roster, according to Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
Corley has been a disappointment since being drafted 65th overall in 2024, and he has no ties to the new regime the Jets brought in during the offseason. After dealing with injuries during OTAs, Corley has struggled to impress the new staff in training camp and the preseason. If Corley's on the outside looking in come final cuts, the Jets may try to trade him to a team in need of wide receiver help, such as the 49ers or Vikings.
