John Metchie III Still a Key Piece for Jets Passing Attack
New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III broke a two-game touchdown streak in last week's win over the Atlanta Falcons, although it wasn't a terrible day for the 25-year-old. Metchie went for only 19 yards on four catches, but he drew a season-high eight targets from quarterback Tyrod Taylor. Since being acquired in a trade with the Eagles, Metchie has quickly moved his way up to the top of the receiving depth chart in New York, with Garrett Wilson (knee) on Injured Reserve. In the last three weeks, Metchie has 13 catches on 18 targets for 129 yards and two touchdowns while playing at least 82% of the snaps. Fantasy managers who used him as a streamer in Week 13 were surely disappointed, but don't let that convince you to bench him this week against the Dolphins, who have allowed the eighth-most half-PPR points to wideouts in the last three weeks.
