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

Back at practice
Corley (undisclosed) participated in Wednesday's practice, Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Corley missed most of OTAs and minicamp due to an undisclosed injury. He was cleared to return to practice Wednesday but struggled during 11-on-11 drills, and the 2024 third-rounder will have to make the most of his reps during training camp to earn a spot on the Jets' 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign. Corley played just 80 offensive snaps across nine regular-season games last year, posting three catches (on six targets) for 16 yards while rushing for 26 yards on two carries.

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
Struggling to impress new staff
Corley struggled on the first day of training camp Wednesday with a drop and another missed opportunity on a fade route, per Zack Rosenblatt of The Athletic.
ANALYSIS
On the bright side, Corley's participating in training camp without limitations after working off to the side during OTAs due to an unspecified injury. The 2024 third-round draft pick didn't put forth an inspiring performance Wednesday, though. The Jets brought in a new front office and coaching staff without a prior commitment to Corley, so he'll need to prove to the new regime that he deserves a roster spot on the heels of a forgettable rookie season in which Corley had just 42 yards of total offense.
