Scouting report

NYJ WR Corey Davis - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Carolina
The Jets brought in a veteran wide receiver for the rookie quarterback. Corey Davis immediately is elevated to the No. 1 receiver in New York. He had a career-high 984 receiving yards last season as the No. 2 in Tennessee so he should top that mark in 2021.

New York faces Carolina who was ranked eighth in aFPA to wide receivers in 2020. Davis will get attention from the Panthers secondary, but he should be the most targeted Jets receiver.

Start Davis as a WR3 or flex for Week 1. Expect 4-5 catches for 60 yards. That should give you some help for your team in that role.

NYJ WR Corey Davis - 2021 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside
The Jets rebuilt their receiving corps for new quarterback Zach Wilson. The best of the new group is veteran Corey Davis. The former Tennessee Titan set career-highs last season in receptions, receiving yardage, yards per catch and receiving touchdowns. Davis will start the season as the No. 1 receiver as the Jets rookie QB will rely on the veterans to get him through some early growing pains.

Fantasy Downside
There are a lot of question marks for New York's offense, as all the skills players are basically new to the team. It's a new coaching staff for the Jets, as well. So everyone's role will be a work in progress including Davis. He also has never eclipsed the 1,000 receiving-yard mark in his career and 65 is his highest reception total. Can Davis be a clear No. 1 option in the Jets offense? He has the talent, but it is risky if you are counting on it.

Bottom Line
Davis is most likely to repeat his performance last year with Tennessee. However, that should be his ceiling. The Jets offense will probably spread the ball around to all skill players which means Davis will see around 90 targets. That's not No. 1 numbers. When you go to draft him, he is depth for your lineup at this point who will help you as a reliable veteran if you have injuries or bye weeks where you need someone to help.

TEN WR Corey Davis - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Houston Texans
In the loss to the Packers last Sunday, Corey Davis was held without a catch only two targets from Ryan Tannehill. Between facing a solid secondary and the snowy weather, consider the outing an anomaly. Davis missed the first meeting versus the Texans in October, but Tannehill threw for over 350 yards that day, so consider him a WR2 in the regular-season finale.

TEN WR Corey Davis - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 at Green Bay Packers
With the help of a 75-yard touchdown, Corey Davis led the Titans with 110 receiving yards on four catches versus Detroit last week. He has recorded five 100-yards outings this season to go along with five scores. Davis will be facing a top-10 pass defense on the road Sunday, but consider him a WR2 start.

TEN WR Corey Davis - Week 15 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 15 vs. Detroit Lions
With Derrick Henry controlling the game on the ground and A.J. Brown posting a 100-yard receiving effort, Corey Davis finished with only three catches for 34 yards in the win last week at Jacksonville. It was the fourth time in his 11 contests this season that Davis was held to three grabs or fewer. However, he’s still averaging over 75 yards per outing and has a good matchup versus the Lions No. 27 pass defense on Sunday.

TEN WR Corey Davis - Week 14 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 14 at Jacksonville Jaguars
What an outing Corey Davis had last week in the loss to the Browns. He posted career highs of 11 grabs and 182 yards, scoring his fourth TD of the season. Davis has registered four 100-yard games this year and is averaging 122 yards the past three weeks. In the September win over the Jags, he caught three balls for 36 yards with a score and is a WR2 play in the rematch.

TEN WR Corey Davis - Week 13 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 13 vs. Cleveland Browns
With Ryan Tannehill completing just 13 passes at Indianapolis last week, Corey Davis made the most of his opportunities, catching all three targets for 70 yards. Davis failed to score in the four November games but is averaging 83 yards over the last three contests. Cleveland’s pass defense is No. 20, making Davis a low-end WR2 play.
