• Texans' John Metchie: Won't play Saturday vs. Kansas City

  23H ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie (shoulder) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs. Metchie was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he suffered against the Dolphins this past Sunday. With Metchie ruled out for Saturday's game, his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson are the top candidates to serve as the Texans' No. 3 wide receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Saturday due to Metchie's injury.

  Metchie (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Metchie remains a non-participant after he also sat out Tuesday's walk-through practice. He'll have one more opportunity to practice before the Texans release game designations Thursday for Saturday's matchup with the Chiefs. Robert Woods would be the top candidate to step into three-receiver sets alongside Nico Collins and Tank Dell if Metchie is unavailable.

• Texans' John Metchie: Two grabs in win

  18D ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13. Metchie operated as the third wideout but had little impact, although one of his targets did come in the red zone. Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) was inactive, and his workload was distributed among Metchie (31 snaps), Robert Woods (21) and Jared Wayne (16). The passing game played out as it has the last few weeks, with Nico Collins (11 targets), Dalton Schultz (seven) and Tank Dell (four) being the main components. Metchie had a recent bump in activity, but that appears to have dimmed since Collins returned from a stint on the IR due to a hamstring injury.

• Texans' John Metchie: One touch in loss

  25D ago • By RotoWire

  Metchie caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12. Metchie's activity has picked up dramatically since injuries hit the Houston wide receiver room, and he's garnered 18 targets over the last five weeks. He's had varying degrees of success, but now that Nico Collins is back, Metchie is fighting for whatever scraps aren't allotted to Collins, Tank Dell or the team's tight ends.

• Texans' John Metchie: Three targets in win

  11/19/2024 • By RotoWire

  Metchie caught all three of his targets for 33 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas. Metchie's recent workload increase receded due to the return of Nico Collins, who missed five weeks due to a hamstring injury. Metchie appears to have used Collins' absence to win the No. 3 receiver role, slotting behind Collins and Tank Dell. Metchie (39 snaps) was on the field more than Xavier Hutchinson (28) or Robert Woods (20) and has 11 receptions on 15 targets for 136 yards and one touchdown over the last four weeks. Metchie's playing time could take a hit in the coming weeks when the Texans feel comfortable giving Collins more than the 30 snaps he had Monday.
