Jets WR Malachi Corley will be playing catch-up in his effort to make the team's 53-man roster. (Source: NBC Sports)
Fantasy Impact: Corley was a third-round pick of the Jets just last year. He struggled to make an immediate impact in his rookie season and now appears to be behind in the Jets offseason program. “He’s going to have to find a way to catch himself up,” Jets OC Tanner Engstrand said. Corley has not been available for the Jets which leads to his current questionable status. “There’s a plan for him, and we’re going to make sure that we try to utilize him to what he can do best, and we’ve seen that in college,” Jets coach Aaron Glenn said. “Hopefully, he gets well soon, and we get a chance to utilize his skill set.” Corley remains purely a dynasty stash for now.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson said he is ready to bounce back after "fluke" season last year. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: After hauling in 71 passes for 761 yards and five touchdowns two years ago, Ferguson was held to just 494 yards on 59 receptions without finding the end zone last year. "I definitely wasn't satisfied with how I played all last year," Ferguson said. He was banged up for most of the season after suffering a knee sprain in Week 1. He remains on the TE1 radar for fantasy managers, though the addition of George Pickens could take some targets away from him.

Kyler Murray said he wants the Cardinals to be better at "off-schedule plays" this season. (Source: NFL.com)
Fantasy Impact: "It's just we have to be better on off-scheduled plays because, obviously, I have that ability to make extend plays, and we have the guys to go do it off schedule," Murray said. Cardinals OC Drew Petzing understands the risks, but believes Murray holds the skill set to make it happen. "When you hit them you have really good numbers out of the pocket and when you don't, that's bad plays, turnovers, those are the things you try to eliminate," Petzing said. Murray remains a QB1 for fantasy managers this season.
