John Metchie III - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Team-best 41 receiving yards Metchie caught all three of his targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-10 loss to the Patriots.

Impact Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards as Brady Cook threw for only 152 yards in another lopsided loss. Cook has just one touchdown pass in four games (three starts) as the team's starting quarterback, so expectations should remain tempered for Metchie and the rest of the Jets' passing game in Week 18 against the Bills.

One catch in Week 16 Metchie caught one of five targets for four yards in Sunday's 29-6 loss to the Saints.

Impact Metchie's streak of consecutive games with at least four catches ends at four. It's tough to trust any member of the Jets' passing offense with undrafted rookie Brady Cook under center, but Metchie would gain a bit more appeal if Gang Green turns back to Tyrod Taylor or Justin Fields (knee) under center in Week 17 against the Patriots. Metchie caught a touchdown pass from Fields in Week 11 against the Patriots.

Makes four catches again Metchie caught four of five targets for 25 yards and rushed once for four yards in Sunday's 48-20 loss to the Jaguars.

Impact Metchie has caught at least four passes in each of the past four games. He has carved out a steady role since coming over from Philadelphia via trade, but Metchie's ceiling remains capped by the Jets' inefficient quarterback play heading into a Week 16 trip to New Orleans.

Another four-catch performance Metchie caught four of eight targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Dolphins.

Impact Metchie tied for the team lead in targets with Mason Taylor while finishing second behind Taylor in both catches and receiving yards as the Jets struggled offensively while playing most of the game with third-string quarterback Brady Cook after Tyrod Taylor suffered an early groin injury. Metchie has made at least four catches in each of his last three games, establishing himself as a reliable option in an undermanned Jets passing game that has been playing without Garrett Wilson (knee), who is eligible to return from injured reserve in Week 15 against the Jaguars.

Eight targets in win over Falcons Metchie caught four of eight targets for 19 yards and rushed once for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 27-24 win over the Falcons.

Impact Metchie's brief touchdown streak was halted at two games, but he set a new season high in targets, topping his Week 12 total against the Ravens by one target. The trade acquisition from Philadelphia has been a key component in the Jets' new-look passing game in recent weeks, and Metchie should continue to play a significant role in Week 14 against the Dolphins.

Working as top NYJ WR sans Wilson Metchie caught six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Ravens.

Impact Metchie scored a 13-yard touchdown in the second quarter, giving him touchdown receptions in consecutive games after he played only eight snaps in his Week 10 Jets debut. The 2022 second-round draft pick is on his third team before the conclusion of his rookie contract, but Metchie's being given an opportunity to play a larger role compared to his stops in Houston and Philadelphia, as the Jets lack established talent at wide receiver in the ongoing absence of Garrett Wilson (knee), who is on injured reserve until at least Week 15. Metchie will try to extend his touchdown streak to three games in Week 13 against the Falcons.

First TD as member of Jets Metchie brought in all three targets for 45 yards and a touchdown in the Jets' 27-14 loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

Impact Metchie led the Jets in receiving yards and also recorded his first touchdown as a member of the team, logging a 22-yard scoring grab late in the third quarter on a play where he got wide open down the left side of the field. Metchie's yardage total was his highest since a Christmas Day loss to the Ravens last season while still with the Texans, and the fourth-year pro could have an expanded role down the stretch due to Garrett Wilson's potential season-ending knee injury.
