Brandan Wright had a strong effort off the bench with 16 points, four rebounds, two steals and two blocks in 23 minutes against the Suns on Thursday.
Wright may be in line for more minutes with Chris Kaman spraining his left ankle in the fourth quarter. In the first five games to start the season, Wright was in double figures for each game while averaging 1.4 blocks per game over that stretch. He's worth a speculative add with Kaman's status up in the air.

Brandan Wright was flummoxed by his lack of playing time on Saturday, when he scored six points in six minutes to start the game, then was benched until garbage time.
Elton Brand and Chris Kaman also expressed some mild disappointment, but professed their faith in Rick Carlisle's rotations and decisions. "I think I'm doing everything I can," said Wright. "I thought I had a solid start tonight. Maybe it's because we got down big or whatever. The rotation has been strange, but we've just got to keep rolling with it and see what happens."

Brandan Wright had six points and one rebound in a surprise start vs. the Lakers on Saturday, logging 13 minutes in a blowout loss.
B-Wright opened some eyes early in the season, giving Dallas a nice lift with Dirk Nowitzki and Chris Kaman both out of commission, but he's since faded into the background. This negligible line is just one more reason to avoid him.

Brandan Wright was active and played 11 minutes, but he was relegated to third-string C behind Chris Kaman and Bernard James.
Wright lost his starter's role to Kaman then lost his backup job to the rookie James almost immediately. He possesses no fantasy value.

Brandan Wright will play on Friday despite missing shootaround with an illness.
Wright was a healthy DNP on Wednesday, and he isn't a fantasy option now that he's lost the starting center job to Chris Kaman.

Brandan Wright didn't expect to start on Wednesday, but was surprised that he received no minutes at all.
Wright said coach Rick Carlisle "didn't say a word to me"? about why he didn't play. "You'll have to ask him, but I'll go with it,"? Wright said. "You can't keep a good man down."

Brandan Wright lost his starting job to Chris Kaman on Wednesday and didn't even get off the bench, picking up a DNP-CD in a win over the Wizards.
Wright's run appears to be over now that Kaman is healthy and starting, and we'd recommend dropping him for Kevin Seraphin or Elton Brand at this point. This is a tough break for owners who picked up Wright and started him for four games his week, as he had been playing well.

Brandan Wright played just nine minutes on Monday against the Wolves, scoring two points with one steal and one block.
If there is a silver lining about his performance, it's that with just nine minutes played Wright can't possibly be as culpable as others for Rick Carlisle's post-game rant ripping his team. He's still posting late-round value on the year, but he has come to a streaking halt over the past few days. Feel free to drop him for a hot free agent.

Brandan Wright started again on Friday and had 11 points, four boards and zero blocks in a loss to the Knicks.
Wright's fantasy value is fading fast, as Chris Kaman is getting healthy and Elton Brand is back from the birth of a child. Leave him on waivers for now.

Brandan Wright started at power forward on Wednesday and had 12 points, seven rebounds and two blocks in the win.
Elton Brand, Shawn Marion and Dirk Nowitzki were all out for this one, allowing Wright to get another start. Once Marion and Brand are back, Wright's fantasy value is going to take a big hit.
