John Metchie III Could Move up Depth Chart

Tuesday, September 29, 6:42 PM

Carolina Panthers wide receiver John Metchie III made the most of some extra playing time against the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday. Metchie hauled in two of his five targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in the loss. This is the most that Metchie has seen the field with both Jalen Coker (quad) and Xavier Legette (knee) banged up. The expectation is that Metchie could see a larger role in the offense going forward if Coker and Legette miss legitimate time. The 26-year-old could be an intriguing deep league stash option ahead of the Week 4 matchup against the Detroit Lions defense.

Germie Bernard Could Surprise in Week 10

Friday, November 13, 3:42 PM

Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Germie Bernard was relatively quiet in Weeks 7 and 8 after breaking out in Week 6, but he'll look to get back on track following the team's Week 9 bye. His first opportunity to do so comes against the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals in a primetime matchup on Sunday Night Football. Cincinnati ranks middle-of-the-pack against fantasy receivers this season, but its pass defense has been subpar overall and particularly vulnerable to production from the slot. The Bengals surrender the second-most fantasy points per game to slot receivers, where Bernard lines up nearly 50% of the time. Pittsburgh's receiver room remains thin due to injuries to Roman Wilson (finger) and Michael Pittman Jr. (foot), so Bernard should see plenty of playing time alongside DK Metcalf, even with Ben Skowronek (calf) back in the mix. Assuming the Steelers need to throw to keep pace with Cincinnati's high-powered passing attack, Bernard carries some upside into this matchup and is worth considering as a WR3 or flex option in most formats.
