Davante Adams revealed the No. 17 jersey saga with Malachi Corley during his Jets tenure, recounting an absurd demand from Corley to swap the number for a massive sum. Adams offered 17 racks; Corley reportedly asked for a million, and the deal never happened. Adams kept 17, citing disrespect at the time. The anecdote surfaced as Adams spoke with Jordan Schultz and Draymond Green, highlighting locker-room pride and jersey-number lore in the NFL.

While Adams is now with Las Vegas, the Jets’ WR depth and Corley’s path remain fantasy-relevant talking points. The tale underscores how off-field drama can color expectations, but fantasy value will hinge on workload, opportunity, and QB play rather than a viral number story. Watch Corley as Jets depth evolves and monitor how locker-room dynamics could influence early targets.

The Browns added 16 players to their practice squad after Week 1, including Bailey Zappe, Trayveon Williams, and Malachi Corley. Corley and Cole Strange — a 2024 third-round pick and a 2022 first-round pick — landed on the practice squad rather than the 53-man roster, signaling a focus on developmental depth with room for a future lift. Roy Mbaeteka’s IPP spot remains, offering Cleveland a potential call-back option if the roster shifts. The group showcases a mix of veteran-relevant depth and young upside as Cleveland eyes a Week 1 clash with Cincinnati.

Fantasy managers should monitor Corley and Strange for potential elevation if injuries arise or if the Browns lean on developmental talent to grow chemistry behind the starters. The 16-man slate also adds key depth at QB, RB, WR, TE, OL, DL, LB, CB, and S, creating a few wildcard plays for late-season or depth-dependent rosters. The IPP slot remains a quiet wild card to watch as the Browns balance immediate needs with future potential>.

Cleveland keeps the quiet pursuit of upside alive by adding Malachi Corley to its practice squad, betting on his YAC-rich profile to bloom with a clearer path to reps in a pro-ready scheme. Corley, a Western Kentucky standout who drew Aaron Rodgers’ draft attention, posted elite college numbers but stumbled to 3 catches for 16 yards as a rookie with the Jets, including a pre-snap fumble on a likely TD. The move signals Cleveland’s belief in a high-variance playmaker who could emerge if he refines route discipline and leverage after-catch ability.

The Browns’ WR room now features Jerry Jeudy, Cedric Tillman, Jamari Thrash and Isaiah Bond as the main competitors, but Corley’s speed and contact-averse hands could carve him a gadget role. A change of scenery and a patient development plan could unlock the speed, alignment, and hands that once drew draft chatter. Fantasy managers should monitor this battle as Corley trains to breach a crowded but young pass-catching corps.

Dillon Gabriel stands out in Cleveland as a clear Week 1 depth option behind Watson, while Malachi Corley earns a Jets roster spot in a crowded receiver corps. Brandon Aiyuk lands on the PUP list, delaying his return and reshaping SF's early target tree. Ravens release Jalyn Armour‑Davis, Chargers install Trey Lance as the backup QB, and a wave of veterans hits the street across the league—all shifting fantasy value for depth players, sleepers, and streamers.

Today’s churn highlights a dynamic waiver environment: the Broncos, Colts, and other clubs reshuffled depth, signaling late‑summer rotations that could yield surprise fantasy assets as the season unfolds. Dynasty managers should track practice reps, injury timelines, and how these moves compress or expand Week 1 options.
