• Texans' John Metchie III: Week 11 Waiver Priority List

  6D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Metchie is really only worth adding if Nico Collins (hamstring) remains out for the Texans, but Collins is expected to return in Week 11. That said, Metchie looked great in Week 10 against the Lions with five catches for 74 yards and a touchdown on six targets. I doubt he will get consistent targets when Collins and Tank Dell are healthy, but in deeper leagues, you should add Metchie just to see what develops for 1 percent of your remaining FAB.

• Texans' John Metchie: Breaks out against Lions

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie recorded five receptions on six targets for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Lions. Metchie enjoyed the most productive game of his career and paced the Texans with 74 receiving yards. He was particularly impressive on a possession just before halftime, initially hauling in a deep 25-yard pass before capping the drive with a 15-yard touchdown reception -- the first of his career. While Nico Collins (hamstring) is likely to be back in Week 11 against the Cowboys, Metchie could have the chance to earn a larger role across the second half of the season due to the underwhelming showings from Tank Dell.

• Texans' John Metchie: Two targets in loss

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie failed to catch either of his two targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9. With the team's top wideouts sidelined, Metchie was in line to take on a greater role, but it didn't work out that way. Houston quarterback C.J. Stroud spent much of the night running away from or getting hit by Jets defenders, which made a mess of the passing attack. Metchie, who played a season-high 50 snaps, and fellow wideout Xavier Hutchinson (59 snaps, three targets, no catches) were non-factors in the loss.

• Texans' John Metchie: Could see increased snaps Week 9

  Metchie will be one of four healthy wide receivers for the Texans heading into Thursday's game against the Jets, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. The Texans received expected bad news Tuesday when they learned that Stefon Diggs suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee during this past Sunday's win over the Colts. Diggs' injury coupled with top wideout Nico Collins (hamstring) spending at least one more game on injured reserve opens the door for Metchie, Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson to handle expanded roles behind Tank Dell, who will temporarily settle in as the Texans' No. 1 receiver until Collins is ready to return. Metchie benefited from Diggs' early exit Sunday, drawing a season-high four targets and catching three passes for 29 yards.

  Stefon Diggs (knee) is lost for the season, and Nico Collins (hamstring) remains on injured reserve. That opens the door for Metchie, Robert Woods (1 percent rostered), and Xavier Hutchinson (1 percent) to step up, at least until Collins returns. Diggs was injured in Week 8 against the Colts, and Metchie had three catches for 29 yards on four targets, with two of his targets coming on the same drive Diggs was injured. Woods had two catches for 18 yards on two targets against the Colts, and Hutchinson had one catch for 19 yards on one target. All of these receivers are only worth 1 percent of your remaining FAB, and I rank them Metchie, Woods, and Hutchinson heading into Week 9 against the Jets.
