John Metchie Dynasty Value

Jets WR Garrett Wilson is expected to miss "at least" 3-4 weeks with his latest knee injury, according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. Wilson does not need surgery, but we can't imagine the 2-7 Jets rushing him back. The timeline puts Wilson out through at least Week 13. He's worth stashing in you have the bench space, but we wouldn't consider Wilson a must-hold in shallower fantasy leagues. The Jets are left with a wasteland of WRs Tyler Johnson, Isaiah Williams, Arian Smith, Allen Lazard, John Metchie, and Adonai Mitchell. Avoid the group in fantasy. TE Mason Taylor theoretically finds strong target opportunity, but he'll remain tough to trust as long as Justin Fields is under center.

The Texans are trading WR John Metchie III to the Eagles, according to multiple reports. They're sending Metchie and a sixth-round pick for TE Harrison Bryant and a fifth-rounder. The teams originally swapped those same picks in the trade that sent S C.J. Gardner-Johnson to the Texans this offseason. Houston drafted Metchie 44th overall (second round) in 2022. After losing his first season to leukemia treatment, Metchie averaged just 1.4 receptions per game over the past two years. The Texans acquired WR Christian Kirk this offseason and then drafted WRs Jayden Higgins (Round 2) and Jaylin Noel (Round 3).
