Who Should I Start? John Metchie III or Jamal Agnew

Monday, December 8, 9:56 PM

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is getting an increased look in this offense down the stretch of the season. Over the last three games, Metchie has seen seven or more targets in each contest. The 25-year-old has also played 82 percent or more of the offensive snaps in four straight games since being acquired via trade. The Jets are without Garrett Wilson (knee), potentially for the rest of the year, and someone has to catch passes for Gang Green. Metchie is seeing a ton of the field, although he's still inconsistent for fantasy purposes in a Jets offense that could be forced to start Brady Cook. He has been held under 35 receiving yards in each of his last two games. The Jets haven't been afraid to target him in the passing game, which should count for something. Metchie could be a possible waiver-wire addition as a boom-or-bust option for Week 15 in a matchup against the first-place Jacksonville Jaguars.

Atlanta Falcons wide receiver Jamal Agnew (foot) is officially active for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable after practicing in a limited capacity. Agnew has played almost exclusively on special teams this year, playing just one offensive snap so far. He has returned kicks for six consecutive games, totaling 24 kick returns and nine punt returns in 2025. Just last week, he had six kick returns for 135 yards. He's an appealing option in leagues that award points for return yardage. Otherwise, he can be left on waivers.
