Malachi Corley Draws Team-High Five Targets Against Washington
3 months ago

New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley led the team with five targets in Saturday's preseason win over the visiting Washington Commanders in East Rutherford, hauling in five passes for 27 yards. His longest catch of the day went for 14 yards. The Jets chose Corley with the first pick of the third round in the 2024 NFL Draft to bolster their receiving corps beyond the perimeter, and the 22-year-old wideout out of Western Kentucky has a chance to become New York's primary slot receiver if he can overtake Xavier Gipson as one of quarterback Aaron Rodgers' ancillary targets. Gipson failed to stand out in 2023 and has missed reps during training camp due to injury. Corley profiles similarly to a young Curtis Samuel, and he'll continue to be a name to watch for fantasy managers in next Saturday's preseason game against the hosting Carolina Panthers at Bank of America Stadium.
