WR FA
Wright had four receptions for 50 yards and was targeted five times in Sunday's loss to Green Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Wright got more targets than usual with the Vikings falling behind early. He also got more targets than Mike Wallace and it's possible Wright could get more touches if Wallace continues to struggle. Still, Wright doesn't get enough looks for viable fantasy value in most formats, but he's capable of a big play.

Wright had just one reception for two yards on two targets in Sunday's win at Oakland.
EDGE Analysis
With Adrian Peterson rushing for 203 yards, the Vikings didn't utilize the passing game as much as Teddy Bridgewater had just 22 attempts. Wright, as the No. 3 receiver, won't get more than a few targets if the Vikings are having success running the ball and playing with a lead.

Wright had one reception for 12 yards and was targeted three times in Sunday's win over St. Louis.
EDGE Analysis
Wright suffered a concussion just last weekend, but was at full speed during the game. His 20.1 YPC in 2015 is pleasing to the eye, but his usage is too minimal behind Mike Wallace and Stefon Diggs to trust in most formats.

Wright (concussion) is active Sunday against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Wright suffered a concussion just last weekend, but he returned to practice Thursday, clearing the way for his return. That being said, the Vikings focus heavily on the run, making their No. 3 wideout a limited fantasy option.

Wright (concussion) is listed as probable for Sunday's game in Chicago, ESPN's Ben Goessling reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright made a quick recovery from his Week 7 concussion, returning to a full practice Thursday. As the No. 3 wide receiver in a run-heavy offense, he's unsurprisingly averaging just 3.2 targets per game.

Wright was a full practice participant Thursday, indicating that he's been cleared from the league's concussion protocol, Mark Craig of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Wright took the full brunt of the Ford Field turf Sunday, pushing him into the protocol for head injuries, but his ability to practice without restrictions bodes well for his Week 8 availability. No matter, as one of the Vikings' depth wide receivers, his target count has yet to surpass six this season.

Wright is going through the NFL's concussion protocol after leaving Sunday's game in the third quarter after he bounced off the turf while trying to make a catch, the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
It wasn't clear exactly how Wright was hurt at the time, but it sounds like he may have suffered a concussion. He had three receptions for 31 yards before departing in the third quarter.

Wright (hand) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit, Matt Vensel of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Aside from Week 4, when he earned just one snap, Wright has been a constant in the Vikings' offense, notching at least two targets in the other four contests. His 20.1 YPC in 2015 is pleasing to the eye, but his usage is too minimal behind Mike Wallace and Stefon Diggs to trust in most formats.

WR FA
Wright grabbed two passes for 69 yards off of three targets in Sunday's win over the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Wright did the vast majority of his damage on a 52-yard completion during the Vikings' first drive of the game. The 69 receiving yards were a season high for Wright, but it does not yet appear that Wright is in line for a more prominent role in the offense. His 13 targets rank fourth on a team that emphasizes the run. The dimunitive fourth-year receiver may make an explosive play once in a while, but is unlikely to see enough targets to warrant a spot on your roster.

Wright (hand) is active for Sunday's game versus the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Wright has been utilized sporadically this season, with no targets since Week 3 as he tended to a hand injury. Charles Johnson's (ribs) second consecutive DNP could place Wright back in Teddy Bridgewater's crosshairs, but Adrian Peterson dominates the show in Minnesota, hampering Wright's potential in any given week.
