One target against Panthers Wright secured his only target for 11 yards during Saturday's loss to Carolina.
Impact On the heels of his game-winning, 51-yard touchdown scamper in Week 15, Wright saw no increase in his pass-catching role a week later. Instead, backup tight end Shane Zylstra stole the show with a trio of touchdown catches while finishing with six targets to Wright's one. All Lions tight ends will remain highly questionable fantasy plays when Detroit takes on Chicago in Week 17.

Collects game-winning touchdown Wright caught one of two targets for 51 yards with one touchdown during Sunday's 20-17 win over the Jets.
Impact Wright wasn't involved in the passing game until the fourth quarter, when he dropped a wide-open pass on the final offensive drive before galloping half of the field for the go-ahead touchdown on fourth down. It will be interesting to see if this demonstration of his receiving upside will allow Wright to see increased opportunities down the stretch.

Held without a catch Wright saw one target in the passing game but did not catch a pass during Sunday's win over Minnesota.
Impact Wright again logged about half of the offensive snaps, but the tight end failed to do much in the box score despite the Lions' offense again firing on all cylinders for the second straight week. He'll remain a fantasy afterthought in Week 15 against the Jets.

Two grabs against Jaguars Wright secured both of his targets for 25 yards during Sunday's 41-14 win over the Jaguars.
Impact It doesn't speak well for Wright's fantasy upside that he couldn't do much damage in the box score on a day that Lions had their way offensively. Moreover, Wright saw his lowest percentage of offensive playing time (46 percent) since T.J. Hockenson was traded while James Mitchell (30) and Shane Zylstra (30) both saw season highs. Even if Wright maintains his grip on the No. 1 role down the stretch, it is hard to make a case for him as a fantasy asset in any format.

Minimal production on three targets Wright caught two of three targets for six yards during Thursday's loss to the Bills.
Impact Detroit is still not running much of its passing game through tight ends in the wake of T.J. Hockenson's trade to Minnesota. Without much of an athletic profile to fall back on, Wright will be remain a zero-floor, low-upside fantasy option in Week 13 against Jacksonville.

Totals 20 yards Wright caught two of two targets for 20 yards during Sunday's 31-18 win over the Giants.
Impact Wright again logged the vast majority of snaps at tight end while James Mitchell hovered around 20 percent. However, it still doesn't look like the Lions are wanting to involve him in the passing game like they did with T.J. Hockenson. Next up for Wright is a tough Week 12 matchup against Matt Milano and the Bills.

Hauls in TD against Chicago Wright caught his only target for a two-yard touchdown in Sunday's 31-30 win over the Bears.
Impact The Lions' tight ends didn't get many looks from Jared Goff as a group, but Wright made his one target count by scoring his first TD of the season in the second quarter. The second-year player will continue to compete with rookie James Mitchell and Shane Zylstra for snaps and touches in Week 11 against the Giants.

Lions' season still appears lost despite win over Packers
The Detroit Lions’ season has followed the usual scriptNOVEMBER 7, 2022 • Associated Press
Small receiving role sans Hockenson Wright failed to catch his only target in Sunday's 15-9 win over the Packers.
Impact After rising to the top of the depth chart in the wake of T.J. Hockenson's trade to Minnesota, Wright was barely used in the passing game despite logging 82 percent of the offensive snaps. Meanwhile, rookie fifth-round pick James Mitchell caught both of his targets for eight yards and a touchdown while third-string Shane Zylstra caught his lone target for a one-yard touchdown. Wright could luck into his own scoring opportunities a couple of times as the rest of the season unfolds, but it seems that the Lions may be looking to replace Hockenson with a committee approach if this game was any indication.

Playing Sunday Wright (concussion protocol) is listed as active Sunday versus the Packers.
Impact Wright entered the protocol for head injuries following last Sunday's loss to the Dolphins, but progressing from no activity to Wednesday to a full practice Friday signaled that the tight end was on the right track to play Week 9. Indeed, that has come to pass, and he now is poised to take on a portion of the snaps vacated by T.J. Hockenson following the latter's move to the Vikings ahead of the trade deadline. Wright, James Mitchell and Shane Zylstra are the Lions available at the position Sunday.
NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Status in question for Sunday Wright (concussion protocol) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus the Packers, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.
Impact Wright increased his activity from none Wednesday to some Thursday before logging a full practice to end Week 9 prep. Still, he remains in the protocol for head injuries, likely only needing to meet with an independent neurologist in order to gain clearance to suit up. Whether or not that comes to pass remains to be seen, but if Wright is active Sunday, he'll team with rookie fifth-rounder James Mitchell at tight end for the Lions.
