2024 Season Outlooks

The Jets traded up to draft Corley in Round 3 of the 2024 NFL Draft. If all goes well, he could be the WR2 for Aaron Rodgers and the Jets as soon as this season. Corley has a very specific skillset, he's incredible after the catch, but there are questions about the rest of his game. The fact that he led the FBS with 2,068 yards after catch over the past three seasons earned him comparisons to Deebo Samuel and the moniker "YAC King". That skillset could work very well next to Garrett Wilson, but Corley will have to master a more complete route tree to be a Fantasy starter. In redraft, view him as a dart throw in the double-digit rounds. In Dynasty, starting considering him in the middle of Round 2 of rookie drafts.

Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams are locked into the top two spots in the Jets' wide receiver room, but Corley, who was selected 65th overall in the draft, could emerge as the team's No. 3 receiver. Corley accumulated 2,279 yards and 22 touchdowns in his two final collegiate seasons at Western Kentucky. He figures to be third or fourth on the team in targets, with Wilson, Williams, Tyler Conklin and Breece Hall also in the mix. The "RAC King" is someone who should not be drafted in standard leagues, but belongs on your watch list.
