2022 Fantasy Outlook
Metchie landed in the right place to get snaps and targets, but he's expected to miss his rookie season after being diagnosed with leukemia in July. On top of that, he's coming back from the ACL tear that ended his college career Dec. 4. Prior to that, he had 2,058 yards and 14 TDs in his final two seasons at Alabama. Despite playing two fewer games than first-round pick Jameson Williams last year, Metchie finished with 15 more targets than his admittedly more-explosive teammate (Williams had 430 more yards than Metchie nonetheless). The Texans took Metchie at No. 44 overall, and he could be in the mix for a starting job next year if everything goes well with his leukemia treatment, as expected. Read Past Outlooks

Metchie is recovering from a hamstring strain and hasn't been participating in offseason practices, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
A 2022 second-round pick, Metchie spent his rookie season on the reserve/non-football illness list after being diagnosed with acute promyelocytic leukemia last July. He returned healthy for the beginning of Houston's offseason program in April, and the latest report suggests he should be fine for training camp later this summer. Assuming that's the case, Metchie will compete for WR snaps with Robert Woods, Nico Collins (foot), Noah Brown and Nathaniel Dell in a passing game expected to be helmed by 2023 second overall pick C.J. Stroud.
