John Metchie III On Fantasy Radars For Week 8?

Saturday, October 25, 11:04 AM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver John Metchie III is in line for more opportunities in Week 8 against the New York Giants with A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out. Metchie has played sparingly this season with just 22 offensive snaps and four catches (four targets) for 18 yards in the six games that he's been active. The 25-year-old wideout, along with former first-round pick Jahan Dotson, will both see more routes, but neither would be considered a reliable fantasy option on Sunday against the Giants. Philadelphia could opt to take advantage of the Giants' weaker run defense, which ranks 28th in rush success rate on the season. More targets will likely be directed to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, making Metchie a desperation play only in Week 8.

Devontez Walker Suiting Up for Week 5 Against Texans

Sunday, October 5, 11:36 AM

Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Devontez Walker (oblique) is officially active for Sunday's Week 5 contest against the Houston Texans. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after logging a full practice on Friday. The second-year UNC product has been pretty quiet so far, other than a fluke two-touchdown game back in Week 2. He has just one catch over his last two games and played only seven percent of the offensive snaps last week. He should be avoided in fantasy football as he remains buried behind Zay Flowers, Rashod Bateman, DeAndre Hopkins, and Tylan Wallace.
