Who Should I Start? Malachi Corley or Casey Washington

The New York Jets are expected to release wide receiver Malachi Corley. Corley was selected in the third round of last year's NFL Draft out of Western Kentucky. However, with a new coaching staff in New York led by Aaron Glenn, Corley was unable to earn a spot on the final roster. In his rookie season, Corley was not given many opportunities as he appeared in only nine games. During this brief stint with the Jets, he caught just three passes and tallied 16 yards. He also carried the ball twice and tallied an additional 26 yards. In the preseason, Corley was also very quiet and did not make a strong case to hold a spot on the roster. As a result, fantasy managers should expect Garrett Wilson to serve as the clear WR1 in New York, with Josh Reynolds and Allen Lazard serving as the No. 2 and No. 3.

Atlanta Falcons rookie sixth-round wide receiver Casey Washington is already looking like a real value pick for the Falcons, as he's made some of the team's best catches in training camp and is in contention for Atlanta's fourth wide receiver role after the loss of Rondale Moore to a season-ending injury. Washington is competing with the likes of Chris Blair and KhaDarel Hodge for the No. 4 role behind Drake London, Darnell Mooney and Ray-Ray McCloud III. The Falcons' offense is much more attractive to fantasy managers now that head coach Arthur Smith is gone and quarterback Kirk Cousins is leading the show. The 23-year-old had 49 catches for 670 yards and four touchdowns in his final season at Illinois last year. For now with just a depth role in Atlanta, Washington is one to watch in dynasty/keeper leagues.
