Malachi Corley DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

New York Jets second-year wide receiver Malachi Corley (undisclosed) has been banged up with an undisclosed injury during voluntary organized team activities. The new coaching staff has a vision for what role Corley can play in the offense, but it will be hard to carry out those plans until he can get back onto the field, according to head coach Aaron Glenn. The 23-year-old was taken in the third round (65th overall) last year out of Western Kentucky, but he had a minimal role in his first year in the NFL, catching three of six targets for just 16 yards in nine games played (one start). There's opportunity for Corley and others to have bigger roles this year behind WR1 Garrett Wilson, but Corley will need to get healthy first in what is expected to be a run-first offense under Glenn. For now, Corley is off the fantasy radar in standard 12-team fantasy leagues.

New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley was a third-round selection in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Western Kentucky, and former general manager Joe Douglas notably traded up to select him. However, the 23-year-old appeared in just nine games last season, catching three of his six targets for 16 yards. He notably let go of the football before crossing the plane of the end zone against the Houston Texans in primetime and did not have much of a role in Aaron Rodgers' offense thereafter. According to Nick Faria of Jets X-Factor, Corley could face an uphill battle to earn playing time. "The problem with Corley is that all of his tape comes from college," Faria wrote. "He's still a very raw prospect, and New York's new regime has no loyalty to him as a player. He has to earn every bit of playing time he could receive." Despite the lack of high-end pass-catchers behind Garrett Wilson, it sounds like Corley has not impressed thus far this offseason. He remains off the fantasy football radar in traditionally fantasy leagues until further notice.

New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley (coach's decision) is inactive for Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins. He had not been listed on the injury report, so it appears that he's a healthy scratch. This makes sense given that the Jets activated Allen Lazard from injured reserve on Saturday, so there simply wasn't any room for Corley on the gameday roster. The rookie has appeared in eight games this season, catching just three passes for 16 yards and also losing a costly fumble. He can be dropped in all redraft leagues.
