Who Should I Start? Malachi Corley or Jimmy Horn Jr.

Wide receiver Malachi Corley is set to join the Browns' active roster in a corresponding move that shifted Cedric Tillman (hamstring) to the injured reserve. Corley was signed to the Cleveland practice squad shortly before the regular season. In 2024, Corley was drafted in the third round (65th overall) by the New York Jets but was never able to carve out a prominent role in their offense. As a rookie, Corley caught just three of his six targets for 16 yards. He added 26 yards on two rushing attempts. Fantasy managers in deeper dynasty formats should monitor his status as he could be given opportunities in the Cleveland offense if Tillman were to miss a significant portion of the season. For now, Jerry Jeudy and rookie Isaiah Bond figure to serve as the team's top wide receivers.

Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales said that rookie wide receiver Jimmy Horn Jr. will "definitely" be a part of the team's wide receiver rotation, per Joseph Person of The Athletic. Horn Jr. has been a healthy scratch in each of Carolina's first four games but appears poised to make his NFL debut, perhaps in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins. Panthers wide receiver Jalen Coker (quad) is eligible to return off Injured Reserve this week, but not guaranteed to play, and the team lost veteran wideout David Moore (elbow) to IR after he suffered an elbow injury in Week 4. On the other hand, second-year wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) looks poised to return in Week 5 after a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury. If Horn Jr. is active for Week 5, he'll likely be battling with Legette and veteran Hunter Renfrow for playing time alongside standout rookie Tetairoa McMillan.
