John Metchie III

John Metchie III caught 3-of-5 passes for 37 yards in Sunday's 32-26 win over the Lions.

Fantasy Impact

With Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) out, Metchie certainly seemed like the WR2 for the Panthers. Still, that was a distant No. 2 behind Tetairoa McMillan. Metchie has now come up with 5-of-10 targets for 56 yards and a score over the last two games. Coker should return after the Panthers' Week 6 bye, so Metchie should be left on the waiver wire.

John Metchie III caught 2-of-5 targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 21-18 loss to the Cleveland Browns.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie was able to make his mark on Sunday, scoring Carolina's lone touchdown in a loss to the Browns. Fantasy managers shouldn't expect much out of him moving forward, however, especially if Jalen Coker (quad) is able to make his return in the near future.

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.
