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.

Ryan Flournoy News
Tuesday, May 5, 12:17 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver Ryan Flournoy emerged as a steady complementary contributor in his second NFL season in 2025, finishing the year with 40 receptions for 475 yards and four touchdowns on 56 targets across 16 games. The 26-year-old took advantage of an early-season injury to star Cowboys wide receiver CeeDee Lamb, recording 11 catches for 158 yards across the three games Lamb missed. With Lamb and George Pickens atop the wide receiver depth chart in Dallas, Flournoy looks to be stuck as his team's WR3 entering 2026. As long as both Lamb and Pickens are healthy, Flournoy's fantasy production ceiling is limited. However, Pickens is currently signed to the franchise tag and remains without a long-term extension in place in Dallas, putting his future with the team in question. Should the Cowboys decide to move on from Pickens either during or after the 2026 season, Flournoy would be in line for a significant role increase. In dynasty formats, Flournoy might be worth stashing for his long-term upside.
