John Metchie III News
Wednesday, March 11, 1:44 PM
Former New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is signing an undisclosed one-year deal with the Carolina Panthers on Wednesday, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Metchie will reunite with quarterback Bryce Young, with whom he played college ball at Alabama. The 25-year-old was originally a second-round pick (44th overall) by the Houston Texans in the 2022 NFL draft. Metchie had an unfortunate setback with a cancer diagnosis and missed the entire 2022 season, but he has slowly bounced back and posted a career-high 274 receiving yards and two touchdowns on 33 receptions in 16 games (seven starts) with the Jets and Philadelphia Eagles last year. Metchie will now head to the NFC South, where he'll serve in a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. His previous connection with Young should help, but barring an injury ahead of him on Carolina's WR depth chart, it's hard to imagine Metchie having much weekly fantasy football appeal in 2026.

Pat Bryant News
Tuesday, March 17, 5:00 PM
Broncos wide receiver Pat Bryant saw his snap count and target share spike down the stretch of his 2025 rookie season, and although he exited both of Denver's playoff games due to injury, he was a clear and early focal point of both game plans. Heading into his sophomore season, he had been pegged as a popular breakout candidate, but following the Broncos' trade for former first-round pick Jaylen Waddle on Tuesday, he may be trending toward a depth role in 2026. Including Bryant, the Broncos now have seven players on the roster who saw at least 45 targets in 2025 and none who topped 120, making it a difficult offensive environment to stand out in and one that could look drastically different from week to week, depending on game plan and opponent.
