Corey Davis Has Tough Matchup In Week 2
4 years agoNew York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis shined in the Week 1 loss to the Carolina Panthers. He was asked to be the No. 1 receiver with Jamison Crowder (COVID) sidelined last week. Davis hauled in five of his seven targets for 97 yards and two touchdowns in the season opener. That is unlikely going to happen again with Crowder returning this week. Also, playing a New England Patriots secondary that was elite last season. The targets might be there, but it could be a two or three catch game for Davis. He'll be a high-end WR3 for this matchup.

Jets Officially Release Corey Davis
1 year agoThe New York Jets officially released wide receiver Corey Davis from the Reserve/Retired list on Thursday, making him free to sign with any team on the open market. Davis, who is still an option to return to the Jets, applied for reinstatement from the NFL earlier in the day after announcing his retirement towards the end of last season. The 29-year-old pass-catcher now wants to return to football in 2024, but it remains to be seen where he'll be playing. The Tennessee Titans' former first-round pick (fifth overall) in 2017 out of Western Michigan caught 66 of 123 targets for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns from 2021-22 in two seasons with the Jets. Wherever he's playing in 2024, the veteran wideout will likely be battling for a depth role and is unlikely to make a mark in fantasy.

Corey Davis Filing For Reinstatement
1 year agoNew York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis (personal) did not play in 2023 after taking a break from football for personal reasons. He was placed on the reserve/retired list by New York in late August. However, NFL insider Field Yates reports that Davis has applied for reinstatement to the NFL, meaning he wants to return in 2024. The Jets are expected to release Davis from the reserve/retired list, but a return to the organization is still in play. Originally the No. 5 overall pick by the Tennessee Titans in 2017 out of Western Michigan, Davis has hauled in 273 of his 461 targets for 3,879 yards and 17 touchdowns through his first 78 NFL games. He's never lived up to his draft status, but he could be a serviceable WR3 option for teams in need of pass-catchers. That said, he's likely to be rusty and will not begin the season on the fantasy radar.

Corey Davis Hangs Up His Cleats
2 years agoNew York Jets wide receiver Corey Davis has decided to retire after recently being away from the team at training camp due to personal reasons. Davis' future with the Jets had been in question this offseason, but it's a bit surprising to see him hang up his cleats after just six seasons in the NFL. He was a former first-round pick (fifth overall) of the Tennessee Titans in 2017 out of Western Michigan. The 28-year-old spent his first three years in the league in Tennessee before playing for the Jets the last two years, where he caught 66 of 123 targets for 1,028 yards and six touchdowns in 22 games (19 starts). Davis will finish his career with 273 receptions for 3,879 yards and 17 touchdowns in 78 games (67 starts). With Davis out of the picture now in New York in 2023, Mecole Hardman Jr., Allen Lazard and Randall Cobb all have a path to more targets in the passing game behind No. 1 wideout Garrett Wilson.

Garrett Wilson, Corey Davis Still Not Practicing
2 years agoNew York Jets wide receivers Garrett Wilson (ankle) and Corey Davis (illness) are both out of training camp practice again on Tuesday. Wilson suffered a low-ankle sprain in last Thursday's practice and hasn't been out on the field since. It's not a serious injury and the second-year wideout should be considered day-to-day. The 23-year-old has plenty of time to heal up before the start of the regular season, but he won't be appearing in Thursday's Hall of Fame game against the Cleveland Browns. Wilson thoroughly impressed in his rookie campaign in 2022, catching 83 of 147 targets for 1,103 yards and four touchdowns in 17 games (12 starts). With quarterback Aaron Rodgers now running the offense, more will be expected out of Wilson as a bona-fide WR1 in fantasy.
