Huddle Up: Metchie had his biggest opportunity in the NFL in 2025 after being bought in via trade by the New York Jets, and he put up back-to-back weeks of WR18 fantasy production just a week after being acquired. However, Metchie blended back into the background, never finishing better than WR43 for the rest of the season. At this stage of his career, Metchie is more of a depth receiver rather than a featured weapon, and that's likely what he'll be now that he's signed with the Carolina Panthers. He's unlikely to make a difference in fantasy unless injuries strike the Panthers ahead of Metchie on the depth chart in 2026.

However, Metchie blended back into the background, never finishing better than WR43 for the rest of the season. At this stage of his career, Metchie is more of a depth receiver rather than a featured weapon. He's unlikely to make a difference in fantasy unless injuries strike the players ahead of him on whatever team Metchie ends up with in 2026.

Huddle Up: Metchie ended up with 29 receptions for 256 yards and two touchdowns across nine games since coming over in a trade from the Philadelphia Eagles. He could become part of the plans in 2026, along with fellow in-season addition Adonai Mitchell. Remember, though, Garrett Wilson should be back and healthy, too, and the team could also add personnel in free agency or the draft, too, so we'll re-visit Metchie's fantasy outlook in the summer.

Huddle Up: It was a tough day all around for the Jets, but at least Metchie didn't totally leave fantasy managers and DFS players totally empty-handed. He and the Jets wrap up the season in Week 18 at Buffalo.

Huddle Up: Metchie was not able to find a connection with Brady Cook this week despite the five targets but has been targeted at least five times in each of the last five games. He should see a similar workload next week against the New England Patriots but can be avoided in most leagues.

Huddle Up: Metchie has been targeted at least five times in each of the last four games but has posted more than 35 yards in only one of those games. He will likely see a handful of targets next week but can be avoided in fantasy leagues.

Huddle Up: Metchie has made the most of his opportunity since joining the Jets, but the quarterback play has been a little choppy. With injuries, the Jets were down to undrafted rookie Brady Cook under center for most of this one. Metchie has some upside, but treat him as a WR4 or flex fantasy option in most leagues heading into Week 15.

Huddle Up: The good news is that Metchie has at least three receptions in each of his past three games, but his modest two-game touchdown streak came to an end. Still, treat him as a low-end WR4 or top WR5 heading Week 14 against the Miami Dolphins.

Huddle Up: The Jets do not have any clear starting receivers, but Metchie has caught a touchdown in each of the last two games. He seems to be a reliable target for Tyrod Taylor and could be a possible flex option in deeper leagues next week.

Huddle Up: With Garrett Wilson (knee) landing on IR, the Jets will be looking to some unproven options on the outside to pick up the slack. On Thursday night, Metchie was the most successful, leading the team in receiving yards and catching Justin Fields' lone touchdown strike. Given how much the passing game has struggled, there's no need for those in standard leagues to target Metchie at this time, while those in deeper leagues can at least add him to the watch list to see how he performs in Week 12.
