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

Not assured roster spot?
Corley (undisclosed), who missed mandatory minicamp while continuing to manage an undisclosed injury sustained during OTAs, isn't a lock to make the Jets' regular-season roster, Rich Cimini of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Corley played just 83 offensive snaps (and eight snaps on special teams) across his nine regular-season appearances as a rookie, despite New York investing third-round draft capital by selecting him 65th overall. His most memorable moment in Year 1 came in the form of a fumble at the goal line during Week 9 that turned what would have been his first career touchdown into a touchback. New offensive coordinator Tanner Engstrand acknowledged that the time Corley has missed during early installs means he's "going to have to find a way to catch himself up." Now fighting an uphill battle, it will be crucial for Corley to get healthy for Day 1 of training camp July 23. The Jets have a relatively open competition at wide receiver behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, with Josh Reynolds, Allen Lazard, Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson and Xavier Gipson representing Corley's competition for a spot on the 53-man roster.

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
Losing out on key opportunities
Corley has been banged up and working off to the side with a trainer at OTAs, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic, so the 2024 third-round pick could be falling behind in the team's wide receiver competition.
ANALYSIS
New head coach Aaron Glenn said the team envisions a role for Corley on offense after the latter was limited to three catches and two carries in his rookie campaign, but Corley could be falling behind in the battle for playing time by missing out on valuable offseason practice reps. The 65th overall selection in the 2024 NFL Draft was lauded for his ability after the catch while playing at Western Kentucky.
