Elijah Moore News
Tuesday, March 24, 8:48 PM
The Philadelphia Eagles have signed wide receiver Elijah Moore to a one-year deal, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL.com. His signing offers additional receiver depth for the Eagles, especially as rumors continue to swirl about a potential A.J. Brown trade. Ironically, this move is a reunion of sorts for Moore and Brown, as the two were teammates at Ole Miss in 2018. Moore, a former second-round pick, is already on his fourth team in the last five years. He fetched 100 targets in back-to-back seasons in 2023 and 2024, but he was buried on the depth chart in Buffalo last season and ultimately caught just nine passes across nine games. He'll look to get back on track in Philadelphia, where there's plenty of wide receiver competition. In addition to rostering Brown and fellow starter DeVonta Smith, the Eagles recently signed veteran Marquise Brown.

John Metchie III News
Saturday, August 22, 3:03 AM
Carolina Panthers wide receiver John Metchie III caught six of seven targets for 77 yards in Friday's 34-17 preseason loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Metchie showed a strong rapport with backup quarterback Kenny Pickett and led the Panthers in targets, catches, and receiving yards. Xavier Legette (ankle) had his ankle "rolled up on" during Wednesday's practice and did not play Friday, opening an opportunity for Metchie. Legette is also dealing with foot soreness and is day-to-day, according to Panthers head coach Dave Canales. Metchie made the most of Legette's absence with a strong showing. However, he did not get any work with the first-team offense and didn't log his first catch until the second half. Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker are the unquestioned starters and top wideouts for the Panthers. With third-round rookie Chris Brazzell (knee) out for the season, Metchie is battling Legette, Jimmy Horn Jr., and David Moore for Carolina's WR3 gig. If Metchie can win Carolina's WR3 role, he becomes a late-round flier in deep leagues and remains a dynasty stash for now.
