Malachi Corley

22-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
2024 Fantasy Outlook
The Jets spent the No. 65 pick in the 2024 draft to add Corley to the roster. While at Western Kentucky, the receiver found the end zone 29 times over the last three seasons. The rookie saw heavy target volume in college. Corley was targeted between 103 and 143 times in each season since 2021. During his collegiate career, Corley was frequently used on screen passes. As a result, the receiver had significant yardage after the catch. However, in the NFL, Corley’s 4.56 speed is far from game changing. With Garrett Wilson and Mike WIlliams in starting roles, Corley may need to lock down a slot role to see work on obvious passing downs. Should that happen, the rookie may benefit from having an excellent quarterback in Aaron Rodgers. Read Past Outlooks
Big Apple bound
WRNew York Jets
April 26, 2024
The Jets selected Corley in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 65th overall.
ANALYSIS
Corley adds depth behind the Jets' star power out wide behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams. He posted remarkable production during his time at Western Kentucky with 29 touchdowns over the last three seasons. He was the engine of one of the most explosive offenses in the country, taking on workhorse target shares upwards of 143 in one season (2022). He never saw fewer than 103 targets in any of his final three seasons. As for how his game translates, Western Kentucky maxed him out with short passes and screens, trusting him to make plays after the catch. With Corley's 207-pound frame and 4.56 speed, it remains to be seen if he can have that same YAC success at the next level. Even with questions about how his college role will translate, the Jets could prove a nice fit -- he has a path to working out of the slot right away as an intermediate target for Aaron Rodgers.
