John Metchie III News
Tuesday, May 26, 12:50 PM
Entering 2026, Carolina Panthers wide receiver John Metchie III will be playing for his fourth team in four NFL seasons. The 25-year-old started 2025 with the Philadelphia Eagles, earning just four targets across seven games with the team. A midseason trade to the New York Jets allowed him more playing time, and he hauled in 29 catches for 256 yards and two scores on 44 targets across nine games with New York. With the Panthers, Metchie III's playing time is far from guaranteed. However, outside of 2025 first-round wideout Tetairoa McMillan, no Carolina wideout has ever recorded 50 receptions in a season. Metchie III should also have existing chemistry with Panthers quarterback Bryce Young, as the two of them played their college football together at the University of Alabama. In deeper dynasty formats, Metchie III could be a worthy buy-low dart throw for fantasy managers entering 2026.

Jake Bobo News
Monday, March 23, 1:06 PM
The Seattle Seahawks are matching the Jacksonville Jaguars' multi-year offer to wide receiver Jake Bobo, according to Field Yates of ESPN. The Jaguars signed Bobo to an offer sheet last week, but he will now return to the Super Bowl champions on a two-year, $5.5 million deal that includes $4.5 million guaranteed. The 27-year-old can continue to be ignored for fantasy football purposes, both in refraft and keeper/dynasty formats. In his third year in the NFL with Seattle in 2025, Bobo caught both of his targets for only 20 yards and no touchdowns in 11 regular-season games (zero starts). Overall, in his three years with the team, he has just 34 catches for 323 yards and three touchdowns on 44 targets through 45 games played (three starts). Bobo will return to serve in a depth role behind Jaxon Smith-Njigba, Cooper Kupp, and Rashid Shaheed.
