Who Should I Start? Cedrick Wilson Jr. or John Metchie III

Miami Dolphins wide receiver Cedrick Wilson Jr. played more snaps than Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the first time this season in Week 11 before the team's bye week. He served as the team's third receiver behind Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington, but he didn't get any targets. He has just two catches for nine yards on the season, but he has been playing more snaps lately, even though his utilization has still been very light. Since the Dolphins don't air it out very much, he doesn't bring much upside, but it is worth noting that he seems to be moving up the depth chart. Wilson is only the WR127 in RotoBaller's Week 13 rankings, so he can be left on the waiver wire for now, but keep an eye on Wilson's usage in the coming weeks, since he could be moving onto the radar for deep league waivers if he keeps getting more snaps.

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is a dodgy fantasy option for Week 17's home outing with their division-rival New England Patriots. The Alabama product began his Jets' tenure, seemingly carving out a role as, at worst, a No. 2 option in the offense's pass attack. However, with the shift to quarterback Brady Cook, Metchie has taken a backseat to teammate Isaiah Williams in recent games. In Cook's two starts, Williams has picked up one more target (11), five more receptions (10), and has handily out-gained Metchie (78-29), all while playing fewer snaps (107-92). With the latter's production on the decline, fantasy managers can look elsewhere for PPR help, particularly against a stout New England pass defense. Metchie ranks as RotoBaller's WR59 in such formats for the season's penultimate week.
