John Metchie III News
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.

Jayden Higgins News
Friday, November 6, 8:25 PM
Houston Texans wide receiver Jayden Higgins (knee) was a potential breakout candidate heading into the 2026 campaign before a torn ACL in the preseason derailed his year. Now, uncertainty remains about where the Iowa State product sits in the team's receiving hierarchy. Higgins was slated to operate as the team's No. 2 pass catcher behind veteran Nico Collins this season, though he never got the chance. In the meantime, teammate Tank Dell got healthy, and the team traded for former Arizona Cardinal wide receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. - reuniting him with his old college quarterback, C.J. Stroud. Higgins appeared to have the tools to handle a complementary role in an NFL passing game, but now looks to be at best Houston's third option when he's healthy. It's an unfortunate outcome for a young wideout with potential, but also too early in his career to peg him as a bust or count him out. For now, owners must take a wait-and-see approach with the 23-year-old.
