Does Hollywood Brown Hold Enough Trade Value to Move on in Dynasty Leagues?

Monday, June 29, 5:49 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver Hollywood Brown finished as the fantasy WR24 in his final season with the Ravens in 2021, but he has not since cracked the top 40. In signing a one-year deal with the Eagles this offseason, he finds himself on his fourth team in six seasons, on a depth chart that could prevent him from seeing an every-down role. At 29 years old, the aging speedster has likely lost a step since running an unofficial 4.27-second 40-yard dash at his 2019 Pro Day, and at only 5'9" and 170 pounds, the Eagles could opt to put the bigger, stronger Dontayvion Wicks in A.J. Brown's vacated X-role opposite three-time 1,000-yard receiver DeVonta Smith. Closer to the inside, Brown could be further boxed out by 2026 first-round pick Makai Lemon, leaving him in more of a situational role unlikely to translate to consistent fantasy production. At RotoBaller's dynasty WR103, Brown is by no means a sought-after trade target, but he could still carry enough name recognition to throw in as a finishing piece to a larger deal.

John Metchie III News

Can John Metchie III Carve Out a Fantasy-Relevant Role with the Panthers?

Saturday, June 20, 11:25 AM

After a quiet start to the year with the Philadelphia Eagles, wide receiver John Metchie III was a 2025 trade deadline acquisition of the New York Jets, where a much thinner depth chart allowed him to catch 28 passes for 253 yards and two scores over his final eight games. While not earth-shattering numbers, his 17-game pace of 60-538-4 would represent career-highs across the board, and he proved himself a fantasy viable player with two finishes as the WR17 or better. His one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers was one of the more under-the-radar signings of the 2026 free agency period, but in another receiver room that thins out quickly behind Tetatiroa McMillan and Jalen Coker, there is a role to be carved out in an offense that has seen more than 63% of its targets go to wide receivers in the past two years under Dave Canales. The Panthers spent a 2026 third-round pick on Chris Brazzell II, and 2024 first-rounder Xavier Legette is still on the team, so there's no guarantee of Metchie's spot in the pecking order, but at RotoBaller's WR129, he is a dart throw whose value has sunk so low he can almost be seen as a free throw-in as part of a larger trade.
