Wright caught his only target for a five-yard touchdown in Sunday's 52-6 victory over the Jaguars. Wright was expected to see an expanded role on offense with starting tight end Sam LaPorta (shoulder) unavailable, but Wright saw only 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.

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 reports. 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.

Wright is worth adding in deeper leagues for 1 percent of your remaining FAB heading into Week 11 against Jacksonville in case Sam LaPorta (shoulder) is out. LaPorta is day-to-day, so he could still play against the Jaguars, who are No. 7 in most Fantasy points allowed against opposing tight ends. I would consider Wright a starter in 14-team leagues if LaPorta can't play due to his injury.

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

Wright caught four of five targets for 34 yards in Sunday's 20-13 win over the Cardinals. 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 is forced to miss time moving forward, Wright would become fantasy-relevant in his absence.
