BROCK WRIGHT NEWS

Reels in lone target Wright caught his only target for 11 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Wright was a background character in the passing game once again in Week 9, a role he has often found himself in throughout this season and career as a whole. Fellow tight end Sam LaPorta finished tied for the team lead with Amon-Ra St. Brown in receiving yards (97) and reeled in a touchdown on six catches. Wright has now caught nine of ten targets for 71 yards and two touchdowns over eight games this season, but unless LaPorta is unavailable, Wright will have a rather low ceiling from a fantasy perspective.

Three catches during MNF Wright caught all three of his targets for 23 yards in Monday night's 24-9 win over the Buccaneers.

Impact Wright was able to match his season high in receptions, finishing tied for second on the team with Jahmyr Gibbs, Kalif Raymond, and fellow tight end Sam LaPorta. Wright has now reeled in eight of nine targets for 60 yards and two touchdowns over seven games this season while operating as the clear No. 2 behind LaPorta at tight end in Detroit's offense.

Two catches in win Wright caught two of three targets for nine yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 37-24 win over Cincinnati.

Impact Wright was able to find the end zone for the second time this season, reeling in a three-yard score on a pass from running back David Montgomery in the second quarter. The tight remained a distant No. 2 option at his position behind Sam LaPorta, who secured five receptions for 92 yards and a touchdown in the game. Wright had gone two consecutive games without a catch prior to Sunday, and he's now caught five of six targets for 37 yards and two touchdowns over five games this season.

Limited impact in win Wright did not garner a target in Monday's 38-30 win over the Ravens.

Impact Wright played 38 of the team's 68 offensive snaps, but his impact came purely as a run blocker in the team's victory. With a healthy Sam LaPorta available, Wright doesn't have much upside as a receiving option for Detroit.

Finds paydirt in Week 2 Wright caught all three of his targets for 28 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 52-21 win over Chicago.

Impact Wright reeled in an eight-yard touchdown from Jared Goff in the second quarter, reaching the end zone for the first time since Week 11 of the 2024 campaign. The tight end typically operates as a clear No. 2 option behind Sam LaPorta, and the three receptions were his highest total since playing the Cardinals in Week 3 of last season, a game in which LaPorta was limited by an undisclosed injury. Wright will remain an unappealing option for fantasy managers as long as LaPorta is active for the Lions.

Blanks in Week 1 Wright wasn't targeted during the Lions' 27-13 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Despite playing 24 offensive snaps during Sunday's loss, Wright went without a target. The 26-year-old ranked second on Detroit in snaps from tight ends, behind only Sam LaPorta (61), suggesting that he's still the team's top backup option. Wright is primarily utilized as a blocker rather than a receiving threat, and he's expected to play behind LaPorta again in a Week 2 matchup with the Bears.

Quiet year in No. 2 role Wright finished the 2024 regular season having caught 13 of 16 targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns over 17 games.

Impact Wright was once again the No. 2 option at tight end behind Sam LaPorta, operating as a top-tier blocking option at his position. Wright found his way into the end zone on a pair of occasions, including in Week 11 against the Jaguars when he drew the start at tight end in place of LaPorta, who was unavailable with a shoulder injury. Wright signed a three-year deal with Detroit in April and he'll likely enter the 2025 campaign in a very similar role as the top reserve option at tight end.

Secures touchdown in win Wright caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 52-6 victory over the Jaguars.

Impact Wright was expected to see an expanded role on offense with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) unavailable, but Wright only saw one target. On the bright side, the tight end's only reception was a five-yard score in the third quarter. If LaPorta is unavailable again in Week 12 versus the Colts, Wright could see an uptick in usage once again.

Expanded role coming Sunday Wright and Shane Zylstra will take on larger roles with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) ruled out for Sunday's game against Jacksonville, the Lansing State Journal report...

Impact Wright is next up on the depth chart, but he won't necessarily be a one-for-one replacement for LaPorta in terms of snaps/routes, considering Zylstra took five of the 14 snaps in single-TE formations after LaPorta's early exit from a 26-23 win over Houston last week. Most of Wright's playing time has come in multi-TE formations this year, with more than half his receiving yards occurring in a single game Week 3 at Arizona (4-34-0 on five targets). Neither he nor Zylstra should be viewed as anything more than a desperation streamer or DFS punt play.

Nabs touchdown in blowout win Wright caught his only target for an eight-yard touchdown in Sunday's 52-14 win over the Titans.

Impact Wright made the most of his one touch in Week 8, reeling in an eight-yard score in the second quarter. The tight end hadn't secured a catch since Week 4 and through seven games in 2024, he's caught eight of 10 targets for 57 yards and a touchdown. Wright remains an unattractive fantasy option while operating as the No. 2 tight end behind Sam LaPorta.

Two catches during MNF Wright caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seattle.

Impact Wright saw his production decrease in Week 4 with Sam LaPorta taking on his full complement of offensive snaps again. Wright is the clear No. 2 option at tight end and his fantasy upside is greatly limited when LaPorta is active. Over the first four games of the season, Wright has caught seven of eight targets for 49 yards.

OCTOBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Four catches in win Wright caught four of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals.

Impact Wright had a rather productive day for his standards, matching his career-high four catches versus Arizona. With Sam LaPorta (ankle) suffering a sprained ankle in the contest, Wright picked up some of the slack at tight end. If LaPorta would be forced to miss time moving forward, Wright would become fantasy relevant in his absence.
