Jacory Croskey-Merritt Falling Out of Favor in Rushing Attack

Washington Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt has taken a back seat in the rushing attack recently, causing his value to slide ahead of the fantasy playoffs.

John Metchie III a Fading Fantasy Asset

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is a high-risk fantasy option for his Week 15 matchup with the Jacksonville Jaguars, and potentially moving forward with the offense in flux.

John Metchie III a Low-Floor Dart Throw in First Round of Fantasy Playoffs

New York Jets wide receiver John Metchie III is little more than a low-floor PPR option for Sunday's road meeting with the Jacksonville Jaguars at EverBank Stadium.
