John Metchie III - Page 3 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Two touches in Jets debut Metchie caught his only target for three yards and rushed once for minus-7 yards in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Browns.

Impact Metchie tied for the team lead in receptions in his Jets debut as Justin Fields completed only six passes in a game Garrett Wilson (knee) exited early. Fellow recent trade acquisition Adonai Mitchell was inactive for Sunday's win, and even if Mitchell suits up Thursday against the Patriots, Metchie's role is more likely to grow than shrink as he gains familiarity with the playbook. Metchie played eight snaps Sunday.

Impact Metchie handled a depth role for Philadelphia across seven regular-season appearances to open the 2025 campaign, in which span he secured all four of his targets for 18 yards. The 2022 second-round pick, who began his NFL career with Houston, will now get a chance to compete for a depth role in a Jets wide receiver corps that desperately needs additional playmakers behind No. 1 option Garrett Wilson (knee). Tyler Johnson, Allen Lazard, Isaiah Williams and Arian Smith represent Metchie's top competition with his new team.

Zero targets in Week 8 Metchie wasn't targeted a single time in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Giants.

Impact Metchie did at least see the field for nine offensive snaps after going completely unused the week prior, but his role remains very minor. He's been targeted just four times all season.

OCTOBER 27, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Does not play in Week 7 Metchie didn't see the field in Sunday's 28-22 win over the Vikings.

Impact Metchie hasn't played more than seven offensive snaps in any game this season, but that number dropped all the way to zero for the first time in Week 7. While he was not listed on the Eagles' injury report, he spent the whole game on the sidelines, failing to even make an appearance on special teams.

Another zero-catch game Metchie saw the field for just three offensive snaps and did not catch a pass in Thursday's loss to the Giants.

Impact Despite trailing for the entirety of the second half, the Eagles rarely put enough wide receivers on the field for Metchie, the fourth wideout on the depth chart, to see any action. He now has a total of four catches across his first six games with the team.

Season-high two catches Metchie caught two passes for a total of 10 yards in Sunday's victory over Tampa Bay.

Impact Metchie totaled two catches for eight yards across the first three games of the season, so Sunday's performance represented his best of the year. He remains firmly the fourth receiver on the Eagles' depth chart, however, as he saw the field for just five offensive snaps compared to 31 for third wideout Jahan Dotson.

One snap on offense in Eagles debut Metchie wasn't targeted and had a 20-yard kickoff return in Thursday's 24-20 win over the Cowboys.

Impact Metchie played just one snap on offense while Jahan Dotson led the team with 59 receiving yards, suggesting that Dotson has a firm grasp on the third spot on the wide receiver depth chart over the trade acquisition from Houston. Metchie got a chance to contribute in the return game on special teams in the second half after kick returner Will Shipley (ribs) exited in the first half.

One catch in preseason finale Metchie caught one of two targets for 14 yards in Friday's 19-17 preseason win over the Jets.

Impact Metchie made his Eagles debut after being acquired in a trade from the Texans on Sunday. With Philadelphia's preseason now concluded, Metchie is set to begin the regular season in a depth role, though Jahan Dotson didn't do much last season to cement himself as the No. 3 wide receiver behind A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (groin).
