Jets' John Metchie: Another four-catch performance
Metchie caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.Metchie tied for the team lead in targets with Mason Taylor while finishing second behind Taylor in both catches and receiving yards as the New York Jets struggled offensively while playing most of the game with third-string quarterback Brady Cook after Tyrod Taylor suffered an early groin injury. Metchie has made at least four catches in each of his last three games, establishing himself as a reliable option in an undermanned Jets passing game that has been playing without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Jets' John Metchie: Eight targets in win over Falcons
Metchie caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.Metchie's brief touchdown streak was halted at two games, but he set a new season high in targets, topping his Week 12 total against the Ravens by one target.

Jets' John Metchie: Working as top NYJ WR sans Wilson
Metchie caught six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.Metchie scored a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving him touchdown receptions in consecutive games after he played only eight snaps in his Week 10 New York Jets debut. The 2022 second-round draft pick is on his third team before the conclusion of his rookie contract, but Metchie is being given an opportunity to play a larger role compared to his stops in Houston and Philadelphia, as the Jets lack established talent at wide receiver in the ongoing absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), who is on injured reserve until at least Week 15. Metchie will try to extend his touchdown streak to three games in Week 13 against the Falcons.

Jets' John Metchie: First TD as member of Jets
Metchie brought in all three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the New York Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards and also recorded his first touchdown as a member of the team, logging a 22-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter on a play where he got wide open down the left side of the field. His yardage total was his highest since a Christmas Day loss to the Ravens last season while still with the Texans, and the fourth-year pro could have an expanded role down the stretch due to Garrett Wilson's current IR stint due to a knee injury.

Jets' John Metchie: Two touches in Jets debut
Metchie caught his only target for three yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.Metchie tied for the team lead in receptions in his New York Jets debut as Justin Fields completed only six passes, while Garrett Wilson (knee) exited early. Fellow recent trade acquisition Adonai Mitchell was inactive for Sunday's win, and even if Mitchell suits up Thursday against the Patriots, Metchie's role is more likely to grow than shrink as he gains familiarity with the playbook. Metchie played eight snaps Sunday.

Tyler Johnson, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith represent Metchie's top competition with his new team.
