Who Should I Start? John Metchie III or Malik Heath

Saturday, December 6, 1:29 AM

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III's production took a step back in Week 13, but he'll still be on the fantasy radar for his team's matchup with the Miami Dolphins at MetLife Stadium this Sunday. Metchie III drew a season-high eight targets in last weekend's 27-24 win over Atlanta, although he could only churn out 19 yards (four receptions) while dealing with drops. In spite of the poor performance, the 25-year-old has seen at least seven targets in back-to-back outings, and figures to be heavily involved again as New York attempts to remain in playoff contention. While it's unclear if teammate Adonai Mitchell's superior target share from last week is a trend, rookie tight end Mason Taylor has taken a backseat to the wideouts with Tyrod Taylor at the helm. Metchie III's upside is slightly capped, but fantasy managers can trust him as a low-end PPR option for at least one more week with Garrett Wilson (knee) still tending to an injury. The former Philadelphia Eagle is RotoBaller's PPR WR51 ahead of Week 14's outing.

Green Bay Packers wide receiver Malik Heath (coach's decision) did not travel with the team to New Jersey for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He is officially inactive as a healthy scratch. We don't know the details behind Heath's absence, but typically, decisions like these are made for disciplinary reasons. However, it's rare to see a coaching staff leave a player on the 53-man roster off the flight for non-injury reasons. Nevertheless, Heath will be inactive for the first time this season. He has caught all six of his targets for 86 yards this season. His void will be filled by Savion Williams, who should fill a depth role behind Romeo Doubs, Dontayvion Wicks, Christian Watson, and Matthew Golden.
