Texans' John Metchie: Could see bump in role
Metchie caught one of three targets for nine yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Broncos in Week 13.
Metchie was on the field for 24 snaps, his second-highest total this season, with his bump in usage coming due to Tank Dell sustaining a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown, who returned after missing two weeks due to a knee injury, should also see an uptick in targets as the Texans navigate the rest of the season without Dell.

Texans' John Metchie: Two grabs in Week 10
Metchie caught both his targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Cincinnati.
Metchie was active after getting knocked out of last week's win over Tampa Bay with injured ribs. Houston's depth wideouts -- Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson -- are getting increased reps while injuries have hit the position, but that may change in Week 11 if Nico Collins (calf) is ready to return. Metchie has caught just nine of 10 targets for 111 yards through eight games this season.

Texans' John Metchie: Full practice
Metchie (ribs) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Metchie made a quick recovery from the rib injury that knocked him out of Sunday's 39-37 win over Tampa Bay. He's spent most of the season as Houston's fourth or fifth wide receiver, seeing limited snaps even when Tank Dell or Robert Woods (toe) has been out of the lineup. Metchie will likely be headed for a light role on offense once again this Sunday at Cincinnati, unless both Woods and Nico Collins (calf) are able to play. Collins was a limited participant Wednesday, while Woods missed another practice.

Texans' John Metchie: Season-high snaps in loss
Metchie caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 21-19 loss to the Falcons in Week 5.
Metchie has three consecutive games with two targets and averages 18 yards per game since a return from a hamstring injury that cost him the season opener. The wideout played a season-high 25 snaps due to Tank Dell (concussion) being removed in the second quarter. Should Dell be unavailable in Week 6 against the Saints, Metchie could have an increased role, although Noah Brown (groin) might be ready to come off IR next week as well.

Texans' John Metchie: Ready to play Sunday
Metchie (illness) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
The 23-year-old was labeled questionable for Week 5 due to an illness, but it's not a surprise he's suiting up Sunday after he put in a full practice Friday. Metchie has just four catches for 52 yards in three games this season and is likely to operate as Houston's No. 4 wideout in Atlanta with Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell all available.

Texans' John Metchie: Questionable despite full practice
Metchie (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Falcons, despite logging a full practice Friday.
Metchie being able to practice fully Friday is a good sign after he sat out Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he isn't out of the woods yet. Should Metchie gain clearance to suit up Sunday in Atlanta, he would likely work as Houston's No. 4 wide receiver behind Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell.

Texans' John Metchie: Back at practice Friday
Metchie (illness) returned to practice Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Metchie was unable to practice Thursday but returned Friday. If he logs a full practice to end the week, the wide receiver could avoid an injury designation for Sunday's game in Atlanta when Houston releases its final Week 5 injury report. Metchie has yet to see more than two targets in a game this season.

Texans' John Metchie: Misses practice with illness
Metchie (illness) didn't participate in Thursday's practice.
Working as the Texans' clear fourth receiver, Metchie has played just 45 offensive snaps through four weeks, catching four passes for 52 scoreless yards. He's well off the redraft fantasy radar as long as Nico Collins, Robert Woods and Tank Dell remain healthy.

Texans' John Metchie: Two targets in win
Metchie caught one of two targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 30-6 win over the Steelers.
Metchie turned a short crossing route into his first career reception of more than 20 yards. He's been active for three consecutive games following a hamstring injury that cost him the season opener, and the 2022 second-round pick has averaged 15 snaps and been targeted five total times while active. It's unclear if Noah Brown's eventual return from a groin injury will impact Metchie's usage.

Texans' John Metchie: Two catches in win
Metchie caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Sunday's 37-17 win over the Jaguars.
Metchie played 15 snaps as the No. 4 wideout. He's gotten opportunities in the wake of Noah Brown's groin injury, but rookie Tank Dell isn't losing his grip on a starting role in three-wide sets following a five-catch, 145-yard, one-touchdown performance Sunday. Metchie remains ahead of Houston's other rookie wideout, Xavier Hutchinson, who played only special teams against Jacksonville. Metchie has three catches on three targets for 30 yards in two games this season.
