• Texans' John Metchie: Plays minor role on offense

  02/17/2025 • By RotoWire

  Metchie secured 24 of 37 targets for 254 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games with the Texans in 2024. He also suited up for both of Houston's playoff games, securing six of 10 targets for 63 yards. Metchie, a 2022 second-round pick, missed his entire rookie campaign due to illness and has since carved out a rotational role on on offense with the Texans. There was opportunity for Metchie to earn more significant opportunities on offense in 2024, with both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) sidelined down the stretch, but even with expanded target volume the former Alabama standout struggled to efficiently produce. He's now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Houston.

• Texans' John Metchie: Limited production on eight targets

  01/12/2025 • By RotoWire

  Metchie recorded four receptions on eight targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. He also lost a fumble. Metchie's day got off to a rough start, as he fumbled after a seven-yard reception on Houston's first offensive play of the game. He recovered to tie for the team lead with eight targets, though he was inefficient with his opportunity and also tallied a long catch of only 10 yards. He should maintain a key role throughout Houston's postseason run due to both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) being sidelined for the long term.

• Texans' John Metchie: Full practice, but questionable

  01/09/2025 • By RotoWire

  Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers after practicing fully Thursday. Metchie, who was listed as a non-participant Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and closed out the Texans' practice week with an uncapped session Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If, however, Metchie ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, added snaps behind top wideout Nico Collins would be available for some combination of Robert Woods, Diontae Johnson and Xavier Hutchinson.

• Texans' John Metchie: Misses practice with shoulder issue

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  Metchie didn't practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury. Metchie exited Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in the third quarter after taking a hit from Daryl Worley, and the wideout was sent for a concussion check. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Metchie passed all concussion testing, but he apparently suffered a shoulder injury on the hit, leaving his status for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers up in the air. Metchie finished the regular season with 24 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets over 13 games.

• Texans' John Metchie: Getting concussion check

  Metchie is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at Tennessee. Metchie was on the receiving end of a big hit from Titans safety Daryl Worley late in the third quarter that drew a flag for unnecessary roughness. The wide receiver was able to walk to the sideline of his own volition but went straight to the sideline tent. If Metchie is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 18 with two catches (on three targets) for 24 yards.
