Demarcus Robinson stock is up while Malachi Corley has seen a dip on UnderDog.
Jets rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley has fallen 5.9 spots on UnderDog since late June. The 3rd round pick is best comparable to Curtis Samuel and can be drafted now in the 15th round. Aaron Rodgers has a history of freezing out rookie players and zeroing in on his favorite targets. This can create a feast or famine atmosphere for players attached to the 4-time MVP and future Hall of Famer.
Drafters are opting to click on the Rams Demarcus Robinson instead as Robinson has leapt up draft boards 7.8 spots in the same time frame as Corley’s drop and can be drafted 172 overall, 3 spots ahead of Corley. The sentiment being carried out is that drafters feel more confident in what could be the third option on a prolific and progressive offense that is led by Sean McVay versus selecting the Jets third wide receiver behind Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams. Additionally, the week 17 Cardinals at Rams matchup is enticing.
Consider letting Malachi Corley fall further in drafts while giving some differentiated consideration in selecting Corley in builds that correlate towards the Jets-Bills matchup in week 17. Meanwhile, continue clicking on Demarcus Robinson both at ADP and in correlated builds.

Malachi Corley — New York’s third-round draft choice out of Western Kentucky — will look to build a rapport with the future hall-of-fame quarterback ahead of the 2024 season.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers has made an offer to rookie wide receiver Malachi Corley to stay in his guest house when training camp begins, according to reports from Ari Meirov. Corley, who was drafted by the Jets with the 65th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, said he plans to accept Rodgers’ invitation. The former standout at Western Kentucky added that he has been texting with Rodgers frequently and hopes to pick his brain, potentially carving out a massive role as a slot receiver in Nathaniel Hackett’s offense.
While Corley’s physicality and ability to gain yardage after the catch only figure to boost Rodgers’ fantasy outlook going into the 2024 season, the 40-year-old quarterback’s early connection with the rookie bodes well for the young wideout as well. Although Garrett Wilson and Mike Williams will more than likely garner the majority of targets through the air, Corley should continue to grow into a bigger role as the season progresses. In standard formats, Corley should provide value as a potential late-round pick or waiver-wire add. In dynasty, though, he merits serious consideration from fantasy managers as a long-term asset going forward.
The New York Jets have selected Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley with the first pick of Round 3.
Garrett Wilson has a new playmate in the New York Jets sandbox. Western Kentucky WR Malachi Corley is the first pick of the 3rd Round and will be catching passes from HOFer Aaron Rodgers.
Corley is a very underrated WR with metrics off the charts. At 5’11” and 210lbs, he has ideal size and has the highest career YPRR vs zone in the 2024 class. In other words, he’s a zone beater and a QB helper. He helped to make Austin Reed a QB prospect at a small school.
3rd Round draft capital at WR isn’t ideal, but he should be productive enough in fantasy and should be a value in the later rounds. Corley is the exact type of receiver to play above his ADP.
