Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver John Metchie III is in line for more opportunities in Week 8 against the New York Giants with A.J. Brown (hamstring) ruled out. Metchie has played sparingly this season with just 22 offensive snaps and four catches (four targets) for 18 yards in the six games that he's been active. The 25-year-old wideout, along with former first-round pick Jahan Dotson, will both see more routes, but neither would be considered a reliable fantasy option on Sunday against the Giants. Philadelphia could opt to take advantage of the Giants' weaker run defense, which ranks 28th in rush success rate on the season. More targets will likely be directed to DeVonta Smith and Dallas Goedert, making Metchie a desperation play only in Week 8.

Undrafted wide receiver Nick Nash did not make the Atlanta Falcons' initial 53-man roster but will remain with the team via its practice squad, per ESPN's Marc Raimondi. Nash played well in the preseason, hauling in six catches for 87 yards in the team's final exhibition contest against the Dallas Cowboys. The 26-year-old was named an All-American in his final collegiate season at San Jose State in 2024, recording 104 catches for 1,382 yards and 16 touchdowns in 12 games. The Falcons currently have seven wide receivers on their active roster, so Nash has an uphill climb to a chance at playing time in 2025.
