John Metchie III WR | CAR
Texans' John Metchie: Plays minor role on offense
Metchie secured 24 of 37 targets for 254 yards and one touchdown across 13 regular-season games with the Texans in 2024. He also suited up for both of Houston's playoff games, securing six of 10 targets for 63 yards.
Metchie, a 2022 second-round pick, missed his entire rookie campaign due to illness and has since carved out a rotational role on on offense with the Texans. There was opportunity for Metchie to earn more significant opportunities on offense in 2024, with both Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) sidelined down the stretch, but even with expanded target volume the former Alabama standout struggled to efficiently produce. He's now heading into the final year of his rookie deal with Houston.

Nikko Remigio WR | KC
Chiefs' Nikko Remigio: Records two catches in 2024
Remigio played in five regular-season games in 2024 and posted two catches (on six targets) for 48 yards while adding 295 kick-return yards and 104 punt-return yards. He added 301 kick-return yards and 57 punt-return yards across the Chiefs' three playoff games.
Remigio spent the entire 2023 season on injured reserve due to a wrist injury that he suffered during training camp. He was unable to make the Chiefs' 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August, but he opted to stick around and signed with the practice squad. Remigio was signed to the active roster in early December and made his NFL regular-season debut Week 14 against the Chargers. He mostly was used as a return specialist in the eight games he appeared in across the regular season and playoffs, but he did play 30 offensive snaps Week 18 against the Broncos. Remigio will look to improve during the offseason in order to earn a more consistent role in the Chiefs offense for the 2025 season.

Anthony Gould WR | IND
Colts' Anthony Gould: Plays eight games in rookie year
Gould caught his lone target for 23 yards while adding 206 kick-return yards and 95 punt-return yards across eight regular-season games in 2024.
Gould was selected by the Colts in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, 142nd overall. He got some reps with the first-team offense during training camp and had an impressive preseason, but he was a healthy scratch from Weeks 4-12 and mostly was used on special teams as a returner when he did play during the regular season. Gould will participate in offseason activities and look to earn a bigger role for himself on offense for the 2025 campaign.

Isaiah Williams WR | NYJ
Bengals' Isaiah Williams: Works mostly as returner in 2024
Williams caught two of three targets for six yards over eight regular-season games in 2024. He added 169 yards on five kick returns and 93 yards on 11 punt returns.
Considering that he went unselected in the 2024 NFL Draft, Williams did pretty well for himself by seeing action in eight contests. Two of those came with Detroit, with the remainder coming with Cincinnati after the Bengals claimed him off waivers in early November. Williams isn't slated to reach free agency until 2027, so he should compete for a depth wideout role with the ability to contribute in the return game again next season.

Jermaine Burton WR | CIN
Bengals' Jermaine Burton: Records four receptions as rookie
Burton notched four catches on 14 targets for 107 yards over 14 regular-season games in 2024. He added 378 yards on 13 kick returns.
After being selected in the third round of the 2024 NFL Draft, Burton got limited run in his first pro campaign. He was inefficient in catching balls thrown his way, though he did show an ability to make big plays, as two of his four catches went for over 40 yards. Late in the campaign, Burton took over as the Bengals' primary kick returner and showed significant promise in that role, averaging 29.1 yards per return. The Alabama product was held out of the Bengals' regular-season finale due to an off-the-field event, and though that isn't expected to carry over into next season, Burton was also benched for a game earlier in the 2024 campaign for disciplinary reasons. He'll likely need to make a better impression on and off the field in order to have a chance to grow in the Bengals' offense next year.

Devontez Walker WR | BAL
Ravens' Devontez Walker: Has minor offensive role as rookie
Walker made one catch on three targets for a 21-yard touchdown over nine regular-season games in 2024.
Walker was a healthy scratch until making his NFL debut Week 7 against Tampa Bay. The highlight of his campaign was a 21-yard touchdown reception against the Giants for his first NFL catch in Week 15. The vast majority of Walker's work came on special teams, as he logged 153 snaps with that unit as opposed to 55 on offense. There is room for Walker to move up in the wideout pecking order in Baltimore, and he'll look to grow as an offensive contributor next season.

Steven Sims WR | ARI
Ravens' Steven Sims: Works mostly as returner in 2024
Sims didn't record any catches or targets in nine regular-season games in 2024 and gained zero yards on one carry. He registered 195 kick-return yards on seven returns and 122 punt-return yards on 21 attempts.
Sims spent most of the season with Houston, playing in seven regular-season contests during which he logged nine offensive snaps and 63 special-teams snaps. The veteran wideout was waived in late December and subsequently signed with Baltimore, with whom he finished out the year. Sims' only catch of the campaign - a four-yard reception - came in the Ravens' divisional-round loss to Buffalo. Sims is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and his appeal to teams will likely be centered on his role in the return game.

Nelson Agholor WR | BAL
Ravens' Nelson Agholor: Struggles to produce in 10th season
Agholor totaled 14 catches on 29 targets for 231 yards and two touchdowns over 14 regular-season games in 2024.
Agholor's reception and yardage totals were the lowest of his NFL career. Last season also marked the first time he's caught fewer than half of his targets. Agholor did see the field plenty during Baltimore's divisional-round round loss to Buffalo, logging 46 percent of Baltimore's offensive snaps, but he drew only one target (which he didn't catch). Agholor is set to be a free agent upon the beginning of the new league year in March.

Danny Gray WR | PHI
Eagles' Danny Gray: Signs future deal with Eagles
Philadelphia signed Gray to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Gray signed with the Eagles' practice squad in mid-September after failing to make the 49ers' 53-man roster at the end of training camp. He wasn't elevated for a single game during the 2024 campaign, but by signing a future deal, Gray will be able to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp with the Eagles.

Montrell Washington WR | NYG
Giants' Montrell Washington: Inks future deal with Big Blue
The Giants signed Washington to a reserve/future contract Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Washington spent most of the 2024 season on the Chiefs' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the end of training camp in late August. The 2022 fifth-round pick will be on the Giants' 90-man roster for the start of the new league year, which will give him a chance to participate in OTAs, minicamp and training camp.
