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
Big Apple bound
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Ideal situation with Gang Green
Matt Bowen of ESPN.com believes that Corley, who was taken by the Jets in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 65th overall, is in the perfect spot to thrive in his rookie season.
ANALYSIS
The Jets added veteran wide receiver Mike Williams in free agency to form a dangerous one-two punch with Garrett Wilson. Corley is a physical wideout who primarily played in the slot in college, and he should get plenty of intermediate and underneath throws from quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who favored slot wideouts like Randall Cobb in Green Bay. Over his last three seasons at Western Kentucky, Corley accumulated 253 catches for 2,968 yards and 29 touchdowns.
