Who Should I Start? Robert Woods or Malachi Corley

Monday, April 28, 10:25 PM

The Pittsburgh Steelers signed veteran free-agent wide receiver Robert Woods to a one-year, $2 million deal on Monday, sources told NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Woods will give the Steelers a new target and a strong locker-room presence for whoever end up being their starting quarterback in 2025. The 33-year-old former Super Bowl champion will be competing for a roster spot in training camp this summer as receiving depth behind starters DK Metcalf and George Pickens. Even if Woods were able to somehow beat out the likes of Calvin Austin III and Roman Wilson for the WR3 job in Pittsburgh, he's probably not going to be attractive in most fantasy leagues given the team's QB situation. The former second-rounder by the Buffalo Bills in 2013 out of USC only mustered 20 catches for 203 yards and no touchdowns in 15 games (four starts) for the Houston Texans in 2024.

ESPN's Rich Cimini reports that New York Jets wide receiver Malachi Corley (undisclosed) won't be a shoo-in for the team's 53-man roster as he's missed critical time with an undisclosed injury during their offensive install. New York selected Corley with the first pick of the third round in 2024's draft, though his rookie season saw him catch just 3-of-6 targets across 83 total offensive snaps. The Jets' corps of pass-catchers is mostly thin behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson, so Corley could push for significant snaps if he continues to develop. New head coach Aaron Glenn has insinuated he'll run a tight ship, and isn't tied to the 23-year-old, considering he isn't a part of the regime that drafted him. Corley's athletic profile is enticing, but he requires improvement before impacting fantasy lineups in 2025.
