Malachi Corley
WR - New York Jets
Week 12 Outlook
Availability
Jets WR Malachi Corley is listed among the team's inactives vs. the Bills on Monday night, despite not appearing on the injury report this week.
Fantasy Impact
Corley has only appeared in three games thus far this year, and should remain on waiver wires in most leagues at least until he sees more action.
Malachi Corley is inactive for Week 5 for the New York Jets against the Minnesota Vikings.
Fantasy Impact
Corley will be a healthy inactive for the Jets, as the rookie wideout has yet to make much of an impact on offense so far this season. Expect quarterback Aaron Rodgers to rely on wideouts Garrett Wilson and Allen Lazard as well as tight end Ty Conklin against a solid Minnesota defense Sunday.
Malachi Corley did not record a touch or target in Monday's 32-19 loss to the San Francisco 49ers.
Fantasy Impact
The rookie was a complete non-factor on Monday, failing to record even a single touch in his NFL debut. The team will likely be looking to get him more involved as the season goes on, but it's unlikely that he becomes a valuable fantasy asset at any point as a rookie.
Malachi Corley could contribute immediately as gadget player and a returner in special teams for the Jets.
Fantasy Impact
Corley had hopes of earning an immediate role as a receiver with the Jets, but it does not appear that will be the case. Nonetheless, he could earn a larger receiving role as the season progresses with a strong start to the year. He'll be a player to monitor on the waiver wire for fantasy managers.
Jets coach Robert Saleh said rookie WR Malachi Corley has a "long way to go" as a route runner.
Fantasy Impact
It is still very early in camp, but it's something to monitor. Corley is likely to battle with Allen Lazard and Xavier Gipson to be the Jete WR3 to open the season. The rookie remains an intriguing flier in the last round of fantasy drafts.
