Eagles acquire WR John Metchie from Texans, who acquire TE Harrison Bryant

Aug 17, 2025

The Eagles acquired WR John Metchie from the Texans in exchange for TE Harrison Bryant. The teams are also swapping day three picks in 2026.

Fantasy Impact:

The Texans were looking for a tight end after Brevin Jordan suffered a season-ending knee injury last week and Metchie was starting to become buried on the depth chart in Houston. For the Eagles, Metchie will compete with the likes of Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Ainias Smith for roles behind the top two of A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

Dolphins RB De’Von Achane is dealing with a lower body soft tissue injury and will miss between “days and weeks” according to head coach Mike McDaniel.

Fantasy Impact:

Achane’s preseason is likely over but McDaniel didn’t seem concerned about the availability of Achane for Week 1 against the Colts. Achane did not play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Lions. The Dolphins have already lost Alexander Mattison for the season with a neck injury. Jaylen Wright and Ollie Gordon are next on the depth chart.

Tyler Shough to start for Saints vs. Jaguars

New Orleans Saints

1 hour ago

The Saints announced Saturday that rookie quarterback Tyler Shough will start Sunday’s preseason game against the Jaguars.

Fantasy Impact:

Spencer Rattler started the first preseason game, so the Saints are simply giving Shough his opportunity as the quarterback battle continues between the former South Carolina quarterback and the rookie second-round pick out of Louisville. Shough threw for 165 yards, a touchdown and an interception last week against the Chargers.

Browns expected to start Dillon Gabriel Saturday vs. Eagles

Cleveland Browns

today · 11:21 AM EDT

The Browns are starting Dillon Gabriel at quarterback in Saturday’s preseason game against the Eagles.

Fantasy Impact:

Gabriel missed the first preseason week with hamstring tightness but returned to practice this week. Gabriel should see plenty of work Saturday as fellow rookie quarterback Shedeur Sanders suffered an oblique injury this week and will miss the game. Kenny Pickett (hamstring) is working his way back but has not yet participated in team drills. Joe Flacco and Tyler Huntley are the other healthy quarterbacks in Cleveland.
