The Panthers signed WR John Metchie III to a one-year contract.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie totaled 33 receptions for the Eagles and Jets last season. He'll be in a depth role in the Panthers wide receiver room.

The Jets do not plan to tender restricted free agent WR John Metchie, making him a free agent.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie was acquired in a trade by the Jets in October. He'll seek a depth role with another team as free agency begins next week.

John Metchie III caught 3-of-4 targets for 20 yards in the Jets 35-8 loss to the Bills.

Fantasy Impact

The Jets' offense was unable to get anything going until the very late stages of the game. Metchie saw an increase in playing time when he was acquired from the Eagles, which should benefit him if the Jets look to retain the young wide receiver heading into 2026.

John Metchie III caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in the Jets 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie led the Jets' pass catchers in receiving yards, despite seeing limited targets. The 25-year-old has seen his target share dip since seeing a season high in Weeks 13 and 14. Metchie and the Jets will take on Buffalo in Week 18.

John Metchie III hauled in one of his five targets for four yards in the Jets' 29-6 Week 16 loss to the Saints.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie III continues to see modest involvement in the New York passing attack, finishing with five or more targets in each of his last five games. The wideout remains a risky pass-catching option in all formats ahead of a Week 17 contest against the New England Patriots.
