Jarius Wright led the Vikings with 90 yards and a touchdown on three receptions versus the Packers in Week 17. Christian Ponder just missed the fourth-round rookie after he beat his man to the corner of the end zone on what would have been a second touchdown. Although Wright hauled in an 8-yard score, the play of the game was a 65-yard play-action reception to set up the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter. Averaging 71.5 yards the past two weeks, Wright is finally giving the Vikes a threat in the passing game heading into a rematch at Green Bay.

Jarius Wright caught five passes for 53 yards in the Vikings' Week 16 win over the Texans. Wright saw single coverage with the Texans selling out to stop Adrian Peterson. He responded with more catches and targets (9) than he saw in the previous three games combined. Wright's Dynasty stock is on the rise as Percy Harvin's issues come to the forefront, but he's not a special talent. The fourth-round rookie is averaging just 11.57 yards per catch on the year.

Jarius Wright caught just one pass for 11 yards in Minnesota's Week 15 win over the Rams. Wright drew just two targets as Christian Ponder wheezed toward 131 passing yards on 24 attempts. The window for Wright to emerge as a redraft-league factor this season has come and gone.

Jarius Wright caught just one pass for 13 yards at Green Bay in Week 14. He was targeted just the one time on the last play of the game. With Percy Harvin (ankle) gunning for a Week 14 return versus the Bears, Wright can be dropped in all fantasy leagues.

The Minneapolis Star-Tribune expects Jairus Wright to play a "prominent" role in Sunday's game against the Packers. With Percy Harvin (ankle) ruled out, Wright will be featured as the Vikings' slot receiver for the second time in three weeks. He figures to see an increase in snaps from Week 12, but isn't a recommended fantasy option. Jerome Simpson and Michael Jenkins will continue to start on the outside.

Jarius Wright led the Vikings with seven receptions, gaining 49 yards in the team's Week 12 loss to Chicago. Wright contributed to a miscue-filled game for Vikings pass catchers with a late-game drop, but by and large he was the team's top receiver. Wright filled in for Percy Harvin (ankle) at slot receiver, and it's unclear when Harvin will rejoin the lineup. As long as Harvin is out, the impressive rookie Wright is on the points-per-reception league fantasy radar as a WR4/5.

Vikings rookie WR Jarius Wright is expected to have a significant role versus the Bears if Percy Harvin (ankle) is inactive in Week 12. Wright added big-play ability to the Vikings' feckless passing attack while filling in for Harvin two weeks ago, but he's going to be hard to trust as a fantasy option in a tough matchup. ESPN 1500 Twin Cities notes that Michael Jenkins "couldn't get in and out of his breaks or create separation" even before complaining of foot soreness during the bye week.

Coach Leslie Frazier was noncommittal Monday when asked whether rookie WR Jarius Wright would be active on game days after the Vikings' Week 11 bye. Wright added some juice to Minnesota's Week 10 offense with an early-game 54-yard bomb followed by a touchdown, but he's behind Percy Harvin on the depth chart. And Harvin (ankle) is expected back following the open date. "It will always be week-to-week with some guys," Frazier said. "It probably won't be any different with Jarius. We'll take a look at him every week."

Vikings rookie WR Jarius Wright caught 3-of-5 targets for 65 yards and a touchdown, and rushed once for three yards in Sunday's Week 10 win over Detroit. It was Wright's season debut. Although he had a bad drop in the second quarter, Wright provided an early-game spark on a 54-yard bomb reception and capped that drive with a short touchdown. Wright is a promising prospect for Minnesota as a speedy fourth-round pick out of Arkansas. The Vikings have a bye in Week 11, however, and Percy Harvin will retake his slot receiver job after that.

Vikings fourth-round WR Jarius Wright is expected to be active for the first time this season in Sunday's game against the Lions. Percy Harvin (ankle) is "very doubtful" to play this week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Despite being inactive all year, Wright could be forced to start in his NFL debut, but remains unlikely to be featured on offense. The Vikings "hope" to have Harvin back at practice Friday.
