2026 Fantasy Outlook
Metchie, a 2022 second-round pick, missed his rookie season while recovering from leukemia and struggled to carve out a role in Houston. The trend continued after his trade to Philadelphia in August 2025, but a move to the Jets in October finally sparked some momentum. Across nine games in New York, he posted a career-best 29-256-2 line on 44 targets despite inconsistent quarterback play. That stretch earned him a one-year deal with Carolina for 2026, where he'll compete for a depth role behind Tetairoa McMillan and Jalen Coker. The Panthers need a steady rotational option for Bryce Young, giving Metchie a path to relevance if he builds on late-season progress.
