Lions' Brock Wright: Secures touchdown in win
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.

Lions' Brock Wright: 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 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.

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

Lions' Brock Wright: Two catches during MNF
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.

Lions' Brock Wright: Four catches in win
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.

Lions' Brock Wright: Secures one catch in victory
Wright caught his only target for two yards in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Rams.
Wright played 30 of the team's 61 offensive snaps, operating as the team's primary blocking tight end. His one catch came in the second quarter, and Sam LaPorta garnered all the other targets for Detroit tight ends. Wright's value is much higher to the Lions than it is to fantasy managers.

Lions' Brock Wright: Retained by Detroit
The Lions matched the three-year, $12 million offer sheet extended to Wright by the 49ers on Wednesday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Wright signed an offer sheet that reportedly included $6 million guaranteed, but since he was a restricted free agent, Detroit had the ability to retain the tight end, who plays a key role as a blocker in the run game. The 49ers will now have to look elsewhere for an additional depth behind George Kittle, while Wright gets an improved contract and the opportunity to remain in a scheme in which he's already thrived. Across 14 regular-season appearances in 2023, Wright totaled 13 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown.

Lions' Brock Wright: Could back up Kittle
The offer sheet Wright signed with the 49ers as a restricted free agent Friday is reportedly for three years and $12 million, according to Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press.
Per Birkett, the Lions have five days to match the offer and since Wright was an undrafted free agent, they wouldn't receive draft pick compensation if he departs. If the 25-year-old ends up with the 49ers, he'd be in line to help fill the blocking tight end void behind starter George Kittle created by the free-agent departure of Charlie Woerner.

Lions' Brock Wright: Signs offer sheet with San Fran
Wright (forearm) signed an offer sheet with the 49ers on Friday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
The Lions extended a one-year, $2.98 million contract tender to Wright ahead of free agency and now have five days to match the 49ers' offer. If not, Wright's deal with San Francisco becomes official. Wright broke his left forearm during Detroit's postseason win over Tampa Bay and finished the 2023 regular season with 13 receptions for 91 yards and a touchdown across 14 appearances.

Lions' Brock Wright: In line for contract tender
The Lions are slated to extend a contract tender to Wright (forearm) ahead of NFL free agency, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
The report notes that by offering Wright, who is a restricted free agent, a right of first refusal tender of $2.985 million, the Lions will retain the right to match any contract the tight end signs. Wright is bouncing back from a broken left forearm that he sustained in the postseason and coming off a 2023 season in which he caught 13 passes for 91 yards and a TD in 14 regular-season games while working behind outstanding rookie Sam LaPorta.

Lions' Brock Wright: Heads to IR, done for season
The Lions placed Wright (forearm) on injured reserve Wednesday.
Wright's season is officially over after he suffered a broken forearm during Detroit's divisional-round victory over Tampa Bay. Anthony Firkser and Zach Ertz -- who was officially signed to the team's practice squad Wednesday -- will be available as depth options behind starting tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) for Sunday's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers with Wright sidelined.

Lions' Brock Wright: Breaks forearm in Sunday's win
Head coach Dan Campbell said after Sunday's 31-23 win over the Buccaneers that Wright sustained a broken forearm, Jeff Risdon of USA Today reports.
With such a serious injury, Wright will likely be out for next weekend's NFC Championship Game against the 49ers. Before sustaining the injury Sunday, Wright hauled in his lone target for a 29-yard reception. Anthony Firkser is set to move into the No. 2 spot at tight end behind Sam LaPorta if Wright can't play versus the 49ers.

Lions' Brock Wright: Exits game
Wright has a forearm injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Buccaneers.
The second-string tight end caught one pass for 29 yards before exiting. Wright had 13 catches for 91 yards and a touchdown in the regular season. Anthony Firkser should take his place behind starter Sam LaPorta.
