Texans' John Metchie: Two targets in loss
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 Houston 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: Increased usage Sunday
Metchie caught three of four targets for 29 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts.Metchie had his most productive game of the season on a day when Stefon Diggs sustained a non-contact knee injury that may be season-ending. Two of Metchie's targets came on the same drive after Diggs was removed from the game. If the injury turns out to be significant and Diggs joins Nico Collins (hamstring) on the sidelines, Tank Dell would occupy the top of the depth chart, while Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson and Robert Woods take on greater roles as well.

Texans' John Metchie: Does little with extra snaps
Metchie didn't draw a target while playing 25 of the Houston 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: Inactive in Week 1
Metchie (coach's decision) is inactive Week 1 against the Colts.Matchie was targeted in each of Houston's preseason contests, but when push came to shove, he was simply too far down on the depth chart in a loaded wide receiver room. With Sunday's inactive designation, it appears even the likes of Xavier Hutchinson and Steven Sims have surpassed Metchie, as both will be active for the season opener.

The 24-year-old was coming off of a strong showing in the Houston Texans' second preseason tilt, when he had six receptions for 68 yards and a score.

Texans' John Metchie: Finds pay dirt
Metchie caught six of seven targets for 68 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.Metchie had a couple of meh showings in the Hall of Fame Game and first preseason tilt, disappointing head coach DeMeco Ryans, but he responded Saturday. Metchie led the team in targets, receptions and yards as he positioned himself behind the team's top three wideouts. He's competing against Noah Brown (shoulder), Xavier Hutchinson (two of four targets, 20 yards), Steven Sims (two of two, 20 yards), Ben Skowronek (leg) and Robert Woods (zero targets, 13 snaps) for the back end of the wide receiver depth chart.

Texans' John Metchie: One drop, one catch Friday
Metchie caught one of two targets for four yards in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers.Metchie dropped the first pass thrown to him and didn't appear to respond in the way head coach DeMeco Ryans wanted to see following a quiet preseason opener last week in the Hall of Fame Game. The good news for Metchie is that neither of his main competitors -- Xavier Hutchinson nor Ben Skowronek -- shined as a receiver Friday night.
