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.

Mitchell Tinsley News
Friday, November 28, 3:23 PM
Cincinnati Bengals wide receiver Mitchell Tinsley had two catches for 22 yards in Thursday's win over the Baltimore Ravens. With Tee Higgins (concussion) sidelined for this one, there were extra targets up for grabs from the returning Joe Burrow (toe). Naturally, Ja'Marr Chase led the way by receiving 14 targets. However, Tinsley finished behind him with nine. The wideout also had a few chances to find the end zone. All things considered, it appears Tinsley could be in line for continued attention from Burrow in Week 14 against the Buffalo Bills if Higgins remains on the shelf. Still, even with the potential for added involvement, Tinsley is hard to trust in any fantasy format.
