Detroit Lions
2024 Fantasy Outlook
After the 49ers extended a three-year, $12 million offer sheet to Wright as a restricted free agent this offseason, the Lions retained him, meaning he'll return to Detroit for a fourth season with the team. The tight end has never been considered a significant pass catcher, topping out at 18 receptions in 2022, but his elite run-blocking ability has made him an invaluable asset for the Lions offense. With Sam LaPorta operating as the team's primary offensive weapon at tight end, Wright's week-to-week output likely will remain limited in the fall. Read Past Outlooks

October 1, 2024
Wright caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 42-29 win over the Seattle.
ANALYSIS
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.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
Wright has made a name for himself in Detroit since going undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2021, and the blocking specialist even reached TE1 status after T.J. Hockenson was traded midway through last season. However, that deal was largely predicated on the Lions not wanting to give Hockenson a contract extension rather than finding a way to give more playing time to Wright, especially because the team turned around and spent a 2023 second-rounder on the receiving-oriented Sam LaPorta. While Wright could snag a few more TDs in short-yardage situations this season, his main responsibilities likely will involve blocking.
Wright enters the 2022 season with a little momentum after faring well as Detroit's No. 1 tight end down the stretch of the 2021 campaign in place of T.J. Hockenson. However, there remains no guarantee that he'll command a roster spot going forward. Not only does free-agent acquisition Garrett Griffin have a history with coach Dan Campbell from their New Orleans days, the Lions also spent a fifth-round draft pick on James Mitchell. With Hockenson back to full health, Wright may need an impressive offseason to make the team unless Detroit opts to carry four tight ends on the active roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start in wild-card round
TEDetroit Lions
January 10, 2024
Wright could serve Detroit's top tight end for Sunday's wild-card game against the Rams, as head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Sam LaPorta will likely miss the contest due to a knee injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
LaPorta sustained the injury in the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings and wasn't able to practice Wednesday. The standout rookie's absence coincided with Wright's return from a hip injury, as Wright logged a full practice Wednesday and looks ready for his first action since Week 15. Wright isn't usually much of a pass catcher, but he could see more opportunities against a Rams defense that allowed 987 yards and eight touchdowns to tight ends in the regular season, the sixth-most and second-most in the NFL, respectively.
