Wright caught his lone target for eight yards in Week 9's win over the Buccaneers.
EDGE Analysis
Wright actually played the third-most snaps among Carolina's wideouts, but it's clear now that youngsters D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel are higher priorities in terms of looks and touches. The veteran has caught at least one pass in all eight games, but boasts just 18 grabs on the campaign.

Wright caught two of three targets for five yards in Sunday's 36-21 win over the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Wright was deemed a starter in the wake of Torrey Smith (knee) being ruled out, but his steep decline in snaps contrasted that technical promotion. All in all, Wright featured on barely over a quarter of Carolina's offensive plays, which came just a week after posting his most scrimmage yards of the season. Instead of the veteran Wright, the Panthers turned to rookie first-rounder D.J. Moore, who accounted for a career-best 129 total yards while playing over 70 percent of the snaps, and second-year wideout Curtis Samuel, who gained 28 yards on three catches while playing 40 percent. With Moore and Samuel obviously factoring more into the team's long-term plans, it'll be interesting to see if Wright can return to a more relevant role in Week 9 versus the Buccaneers.

Wright is slated to serve as one of the Panthers' starting wideouts Sunday against the Ravens with Torrey Smith (knee0 inactive, Bryan Strickland of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Though he's expected to be on the field for the start of the Panthers' first drive of the day, Wright won't necessarily benefit from a huge surge in snaps and/or targets with Smith out. The Panthers are expected to increase the roles of youngsters D.J. Moore and Curtis Samuel in Week 8, while No. 6 receiver Damiere Byrd also boasts plenty of familiarity with playing Smith's position. The triumvirate of Devin Funchess, Greg Olsen and Christian McCaffrey should remain locked in as quarterback Cam Newton's top three targets, perhaps leaving little volume to go around for Wright and the team's other depth wideouts.

Wright caught both his targets for 37 yards and gained 34 yards on a rush in Sunday's 21-17 win over the Eagles.
EDGE Analysis
Wright had a couple big plays, taking a handoff for a team-long rush along the left sideline during the second quarter before catching a 28-yard pass to help set up a touchdown during the fourth quarter. In doing so, Wright's 71 total yards marked his most this season. Nonetheless, in playing under 55 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps once again Sunday, Wright's role remains a tough one to put much fantasy stock in.

Wright caught one of three targets for three yards in Sunday's 23-17 loss to the Redskins.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played over 60 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, but once again failed to make much of an impact. The veteran saw the fewest targets among his fellow receivers, as Devin Funchess, D.J. Moore and Torrey Smith all got at least five looks, and has now managed just 35 yards over the last three games.

Wright caught three of six targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 33-31 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's day included a long reception for 27 yards, but his other five looks didn't yield much. Still, it was encouraging to see him get more involved after catching just one pass in Week 3. With Curtis Samuel back in the fold, however, and rookie first-rounder D.J. Moore a key piece going forward, it'll be interesting to monitor whether Wright's snap count is impacted in upcoming outings.

Wright caught his lone target for seven yards in Sunday's 31-21 win over the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Wright played under 40 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps while watching rookie wideout D.J. Moore take on a larger share than in the first two weeks. Although Wright hauled in the only look his way, the Panthers' interchangeable receiving options behind Devin Funchess should make his production difficult to predict on a weekly basis.

Wright brought in five of seven targets for 62 yards and a touchdown in the Panthers' 31-24 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
The veteran receiver played a key role in the Panthers' passing attack with Greg Olsen (foot) out of action, posting the third-highest reception and receiving yardage totals on the afternoon. Wright has now seen 12 targets through his first two games, certainly an elevated figure for a wideout expected to fill a No. 4 role. He'll look to continue his productive start against the Bengals in Week 3.

Wright caught three of five targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 16-8 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Wright featured on just under half of Carolina's offensive snaps, ranking third behind Devin Funchess and Torrey Smith among the team's receivers. That supported the notion that he'd begin the season ahead of rookie first-rounder D.J. Moore, but the fact Wright tied Funchess to lead the group in both catches and targets was somewhat surprising. Sure, his totals were modest, but Wright's familiarity with coordinator Norv Turner's scheme seems to be benefitting him early on.

Wright caught his lone target for 28 yards in Thursday's 28-23 win over the Bills in the preseason opener.
EDGE Analysis
Wright's catch-and-run set the Panthers up on the two-yard line on the team's second offensive series. That led to Carolina's opening touchdown, reflecting quite well on Wright's impact with the starters. Long an underrated chain-mover -- and the team's unofficial receptions leader through training camp, Bryan Strickland of Panthers.com reports -- Wright's stellar play thus far could land him the slot-receiving gig, but he'll need to maintain his performance level through the remaining exhibition slate.
