John Metchie III Could Be Odd-Man Out

Thursday, May 1, 12:17 AM

The Houston Chronicle's Jonathan M. Alexander projects Houston Texans wide receiver John Metchie III to be left off the 53-man roster entering the start of the 2025 season this fall after the team added receivers Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel in last week's draft. Houston also added Christian Kirk, Justin Watson and Braxton Berrios in free agency this offseason, creating a lot of competition for the 24-year-old, who has battled injuries and a cancer scare to produce just 40 catches for 412 yards and one touchdown since being drafted in the second round (44th overall) in 2022 out of Alabama. Alexander expects Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson, Berrios and Watson to be battling for the final two receiver spots this summer behind Higgins, Kirk and Nico Collins. Metchie is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2025 and could be a trade candidate if it's clear he's not going to make the roster.

Savion Williams to be a Regular Contributor?

Thursday, May 22, 10:58 PM

The Athletic's Matt Schneidman isn't convinced that Green Bay Packers rookie third-round wide receiver Savion Williams will be a regular contributor in his first season in the NFL, but he writes that the Packers coaches are talking about him as if he will be. That's bad news for wideouts Bo Melton and Malik Heath making contributions this fall alongside Williams, rookie first-rounder Matthew Golden, Jayden Reed, Romeo Doubs and Dontayvion Wicks. Remember, Christian Watson (knee) is expected to miss at least half of the 2025 season. Williams is an athletic 6-foot-4, 222 pounds, but barring injuries on the receiver depth chart above him, he could very well be limited to a few offensive snaps per game and return duties on special teams. His usage will be something to watch in training camp and the preseason, but as of now, Williams is unlikely to be draft-worthy in single-year fantasy leagues.
