No Place In Fantasy Lineups For Jermaine Burton In Week 13

Saturday, November 30, 12:51 PM

Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Jermaine Burton looked good during the preseason. However, he hasn't done much to benefit fantasy managers during the 2024-25 campaign. The rookie has just one catch in each of his previous three contests leading up to the Bengals' Week 12 bye. Yet, he's starting to earn the trust of Joe Burrow, considering he has 12 targets during that span. Granted, Burton has a long way to go before earning a place in fantasy lineups. But it appears he's moving in the right direction, although fantasy managers should still keep him on the bench for Sunday's meeting with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

John Metchie III Barely Involved Against Jaguars

Monday, December 2, 12:27 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III was barely involved in the 23-20 win over the division-rival Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday, catching both of his targets for 16 receiving yards, which ranked fifth on the team. Although Metchie operated as the No. 3 receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell, the production was a bit disappointing, considering that Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) was inactive for this contest. In addition to Collins and Dell, tight end Dalton Schultz was more involved than Metchie as well. The 24-year-old was mainly worth looking at as a flex option in deeper fantasy leagues when Collins was on Injured Reserve earlier this season. Now that Collins is back, it's going to be tough for Metchie to stand out in the box score. Since a 74-yard, one-TD performance on Nov. 10 against the Lions, Metchie only has six catches on eight targets for 55 scoreless yards in three games.
