John Metchie III

Last week, with Brady Cook under center, John Metchie had a 23.5% target share, a team-leading 29.6% first-read share, and two red zone targets. Sadly, he turned that volume into only four receptions and 34 receiving yards. I can't trust Metchie as a flex play this week with Cook slinging the rock despite the plus matchup. If you're out of other flex options this week in a deep league, I get it, but there's no way you can feel warm and cozy about playing him. Since Week 10, Jacksonville has allowed the 12th-most fantasy points per game and the sixth-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

John Metchie hauled in 4 of 5 targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact

Metchie did not do much yardage-wise, but he did finish with four receptions for the third straight week. Going back a little further, Metchie has caught at least three passes in each of the last five games. The Jets offense is rather pedestrian, but Metchie brings some PPR value in deeper leagues.
