John Metchie III

John Metchie III is inactive for Week 1 for the Houston Texans against the Indianapolis Colts Sunday.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie III will remain sidelined for the season opener and moving forward will have a difficult time receiving significant target share as part of a wide receiver room led by Stefon Diggs, Nico Collins, and Tank Dell this season.

John Metchie III has reportedly drawn trade interest as teams have reached out to the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

It remains unclear if Houston is willing to trade Metchie who is down the depth chart in a deep Texans wide receiver room. He totaled 100 yards and a touchdown on 10 receptions throughout the preseason.

John Metchie III has been impressive throughout Houston's training camp so far.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie has been impressive throughout training camp so far, which is great to hear given the slow start that he has had to his career. Still, it's unlikely that he leapfrogs any of Houston's top-three wide receivers on the depth chart, so outside of an injury, the 24-year old probably won't be relevant for fantasy purposes.

John Metchie III returned to practice on Friday with the Texans.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie had been sidelined earlier in the week. He figures to be a depth wide receiver heading into the season for Houston.

John Metchie III was not wearing pads on the first day of training camp.

Fantasy Impact

It is not clear why Metchie wasn't wearing pads. Nico Collins wasn't either for the Texans. It will be worth monitoring for the both of them, though Metchie is to likely remain off the fantasy radar.
