• Texans' John Metchie: Two targets in loss

  1D 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

  3D ago • By RotoWire

  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.

• Texans' John Metchie III: Week 9 Waiver Priority List

  4D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  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.

• Texans' John Metchie: Does little with extra snaps

  17D ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie didn't draw a target while playing 25 of the Texans' 66 snaps on offense in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots. Though he was active for the third straight game and saw his highest snap share of the season with Nico Collins (hamstring) on injured reserve and with Robert Woods (foot) inactive for the contest, Metchie didn't see any involvement in the passing attack. If Woods is cleared to play Week 7 against the Packers, Metchie would likely drop to fifth in the pecking order at receiver behind Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell, Xavier Hutchinson and Woods.

• Texans' John Metchie: Active for first time

  Metchie caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over Jacksonville. Metchie was active for the first time in four games, filling the roster spot opened up due to Tank Dell (chest) being inactive. Metchie was on the field for just nine snaps. Xavier Hutchinson (13 snaps) has held down the fifth wideout spot when all hands are healthy.
