Texans' John Metchie: Limited production on eight targets
Metchie recorded four receptions on eight targets for 28 yards in Saturday's 32-12 win over the Chargers. He also lost a fumble.
Metchie's day got off to a rough start, as he fumbled after a seven-yard reception on Houston's first offensive play of the game. He recovered to tie for the team lead with eight targets, though he was inefficient with his opportunity and also tallied a long catch of only 10 yards. He should maintain a key role throughout Houston's postseason run due to both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) being sidelined for the long term.

Texans' John Metchie: Active Saturday
Metchie (shoulder) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers.
Metchie got a concussion check last Sunday at Tennessee, but a shoulder injury ultimately didn't allow him to practice Tuesday before he progressed to limited Wednesday and a full session Thursday. Despite receiving a questionable tag for the Texans' playoff opener, he'll be available to the Texans offense Saturday. Since fellow WR Tank Dell (torn ACL) joined Stefon Diggs (torn ACL) as out for the season Week 16, Metchie produced a 7-72-0 line on 12 targets over the final two games of the regular season.

Texans' John Metchie: Full practice, but questionable
Metchie (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card round game against the Chargers after practicing fully Thursday.
Metchie, who was listed as a non-participant Tuesday, was limited Wednesday and closed out the Texans' practice week with an uncapped session Thursday, which bodes well for his chances of being available for Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. If, however, Metchie ends up limited or out versus Los Angeles, added snaps behind top wideout Nico Collins would be available for some combination of Robert Woods, Diontae Johnson and Xavier Hutchinson.

Texans' John Metchie: Limited in return to practice
Metchie (shoulder) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
After missing Tuesday's practice, Metchie's return to the field a day later bodes well for his availability for Saturday's playoff opener against the Chargers. With that in mind, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston previously noted that the wideout is expected to play this weekend, though Metchie may need to practice fully Thursday in order to avoid an injury designation.

Texans' John Metchie: Misses practice with shoulder issue
Metchie didn't practice Tuesday due to a shoulder injury.
Metchie exited Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans in the third quarter after taking a hit from Daryl Worley, and the wideout was sent for a concussion check. According to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Metchie passed all concussion testing, but he apparently suffered a shoulder injury on the hit, leaving his status for Saturday's wild-card game against the Chargers up in the air. Metchie finished the regular season with 24 catches for 254 yards and one touchdown on 37 targets over 13 games.

Texans' John Metchie: Getting concussion check
Metchie is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at Tennessee.
Metchie was on the receiving end of a big hit from Titans safety Daryl Worley late in the third quarter that drew a flag for unnecessary roughness. The wide receiver was able to walk to the sideline of his own volition but went straight to the sideline tent. If Metchie is diagnosed with a concussion, he'll end Week 18 with two catches (on three targets) for 24 yards.

Texans' John Metchie: Returns with elevated role
Metchie (shoulder) recorded five receptions for 48 yards on eight targets in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore.
Metchie returned from a one-game absence due to the shoulder injury and found himself in an elevated role in the passing game after wideout Tank Dell suffered a season-ending knee injury in Week 16. The 24-year-old Metchie led the Texans in targets Wednesday, with the eight passing-game looks representing a season-high total. Metchie's increased usage should put him on the map as a lineup option in deeper fantasy formats in Houston's regular-season finale against the Titans next weekend.

Texans' John Metchie: Listed as full Monday
Metchie (shoulder) was listed as a full participant on Monday's injury report.
Metchie didn't practice last week before being ruled out ahead of this past Saturday's game at Kansas City. Since then, he followed Sunday's limited listing with an upgrade to full activity one day later, indicating he's past the shoulder injury that sidelined him in Week 16. Prior to the recent absence, Metchie had recorded at least one catch in five consecutive contests en route to a 13-146-1 line on 18 targets.

Texans' John Metchie: Estimated as limited Sunday
Metchie (shoulder) was listed as limited on Sunday's practice estimate, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
The Texans played the Chiefs on Saturday, so the team didn't actually hold a practice a day later. In any case, the status of Metchie -- who was inactive against Kansas City -- gains added import ahead of Wednesday's game against the Ravens, given that fellow wideout Tank Dell is in line to miss time with a knee injury.

Texans' John Metchie: Won't play Saturday vs. Kansas City
Metchie (shoulder) did not practice Thursday and has been ruled out for Saturday's game against the Chiefs.
Metchie was unable to practice all week due to a shoulder injury he suffered against the Dolphins this past Sunday. With Metchie ruled out for Saturday's game, his next opportunity to play will be Christmas Day against the Ravens. Robert Woods and Xavier Hutchinson are the top candidates to serve as the Texans' No. 3 wide receiver behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Saturday due to Metchie's injury.

Texans' John Metchie: Not practicing Wednesday
Metchie (shoulder) remained sidelined at practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Metchie remains a non-participant after he also sat out Tuesday's walk-through practice. He'll have one more opportunity to practice before the Texans release game designations Thursday for Saturday's matchup with the Chiefs. Robert Woods would be the top candidate to step into three-receiver sets alongside Nico Collins and Tank Dell if Metchie is unavailable.

Texans' John Metchie: Managing shoulder injury
Metchie was listed as a non-participant for Tuesday's walk-through practice due to a shoulder injury.
During this past Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins, Metchie finished fourth in snaps (21) among Texans receivers, finishing the day with two catches for 17 yards on four targets. Metchie's 42 percent snap share was his lowest since Week 8, and the shoulder injury may in part explain why he saw a smaller role than usual.

Texans' John Metchie: Four targets in win
Metchie caught two of four targets for 17 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins.
One of Metchie's four targets was an incompletion in the red zone. He's been the most productive of the Texans' depth wideouts behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell, but the Houston passing game in 2024 is not what it was in 2023. Metchie has 17 receptions on 25 targets for 182 yards over 11 appearances this season.

Texans' John Metchie: Two grabs in win
Metchie caught both of his targets for 16 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over Jacksonville in Week 13.
Metchie operated as the third wideout but had little impact, although one of his targets did come in the red zone. Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) was inactive, and his workload was distributed among Metchie (31 snaps), Robert Woods (21) and Jared Wayne (16). The passing game played out as it has the last few weeks, with Nico Collins (11 targets), Dalton Schultz (seven) and Tank Dell (four) being the main components. Metchie had a recent bump in activity, but that appears to have dimmed since Collins returned from a stint on the IR due to a hamstring injury.

Texans' John Metchie: Likely third wideout Week 13
Metchie is expected to be the third wideout Sunday against the Jaguars, as Xavier Hutchinson (shoulder) is questionable for Week 13.
Metchie and Hutchinson each experienced upticks in playing time when injuries hit the wideout room. Since Nico Collins returned two weeks ago, Metchie has more targets (six) and been on the field more (79 snaps) than Hutchinson (one target, 36 snaps). Metchie averaged a 57-percent share of the offensive snaps with 12 receptions (18 targets) for 142 yards and a touchdown over the last five weeks. Collins and Tank Dell are expected to gobble up most of the targets on Thanksgiving weekend, while Metchie gets the leftovers.

Texans' John Metchie: One touch in loss
Metchie caught one of three targets for six yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.
Metchie's activity has picked up dramatically since injuries hit the Houston wide receiver room, and he's garnered 18 targets over the last five weeks. He's had varying degrees of success, but now that Nico Collins is back, Metchie is fighting for whatever scraps aren't allotted to Collins, Tank Dell or the team's tight ends.
