Four Catches For John Metchie III In Wild Card Win

Saturday, January 11, 8:18 PM

Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III was the second option in the Houston passing offense on Saturday, catching four passes for 28 yards in a 32-12 victory against the Los Angeles Chargers. The Alabama product was targeted eight times, which tied receiver Nico Collins for the most on the team, but brought in only half of them. With Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) both out for the season, Houston has yearned for another receiver to get in the mix behind Collins, and Metchie seemed to be the preferred next man up on Saturday. The victory assured Houston will have at least one more game with a Divisional Round date to be decided.

KaVontae Turpin Signing Three-Year Deal With Cowboys

Tuesday, March 11, 2:07 PM

Dallas Cowboys wide receiver/return specialist KaVontae Turpin is signing back with the Dallas Cowboys on a three-year, $18 million deal, according to NFL insider Tom Pelissero. The 28-year-old was recently given a second-round tender that would pay him $5.38 million in 2025 but has now agreed to the new deal. Turpin went undrafted in 2019 out of TCU and spent four different alternative leagues before signing with Dallas in 2022. He was named to the Pro Bowl in 2022 and 2024 and has a first-team All-Pro nod for his work as a return specialist in 2024. Overall, Turpin has returned 60 punts for 569 yards and one touchdown and returned 58 kickoffs for 1,704 yards and a score in 50 career games. As a receiver, he's hauled in 44 passes for 556 yards and five touchdowns. Turpin plays a valuable role for Dallas, but he's unlikely to be on the fantasy football radar since he's primarily a special teamer.
