Kendall Wright caught seven balls for 78 yards in the Titans' Week 10 loss to Jacksonville.
Although Wright isn't getting into the end zone much, he continues to flirt with WR2 value in PPR leagues as the clear-cut No. 1 option in the Titans' passing game. He is explosive when OC Dowell Loggains schemes Wright into space. Keep riding Wright when Tennessee takes on Indianapolis in Week 11.

Titans coach Mike Munchak described Kendall Wright as "special" and "a great weapon for us."
"If I was a quarterback, I'd be looking at him every snap probably. He's special," Munchak said. "I think he's a guy that's just going to get better and better. He's hard to cover, he's a tough matchup, and he's quick. He gets off press really quick." Now entrenched as Tennessee's clear No. 1 pass-game option, Wright is on pace for 86 receptions and 1,004 yards at the season's midway point. And we wouldn't be the least bit surprised if those numbers rose in the second half.

Kendall Wright caught three balls for 69 yards in the Titans' Week 9 win over the Rams.
Wright's big play came on a 45-yard quick slant in the fourth quarter. The Titans had very little passing success against the Rams, limiting the box-score numbers of all Tennessee pass catchers. Wright will remain a solid WR3 play in Week 10 against the Jaguars.

Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 98 yards in Week 7 against the 49ers.
Both numbers were career-highs. Wright was targeted a game-high 12 times but isn't a big-play threat. The second-year receiver remains the safest receiver to own in Tennessee, though, as the lone consistent producer. Wright's value is higher in PPR formats, but he's nothing more than a WR3.

Kendall Wright caught five passes for 69 yards in Tennessee's Week 6 loss to the Seahawks.
Wright also had a 25-yard rush on a fumble recovery, but it was overturned on review. Ryan Fitzpatrick's most-targeted receiver this afternoon, Wright has now caught at least five passes in five straight games. He's the only consistent receiver in Tennessee's offense, but averaging just 55.8 yards, he'a a low-upside WR3.

Kendall Wright led the Titans in catches (6) and yards (74) as Tennessee fell to the Chiefs in Week 5.
Wright missed some snaps with what appeared to be a hip injury, but otherwise gave Kansas City fits in the slot and proved a good match for Ryan Fitzpatrick's noodle arm once FitzMagic settled in. Clearly the Titans' best receiver at this point, Wright will be a low-end WR3 option in Week 6 against Seattle. He should avoid LCB Richard Sherman's shutdown coverage.

Kendall Wright played on 50-of-67 snaps in Sunday's win over the Jets.
With Kenny Britt inactive, Wright played the second-most snaps behind Nate Washington (56). Damian Williams was third with 31 and Justin Hunter saw just 14. It confirms that the Titans see Wright as capable of playing both Britt's X spot and inside as a slot man. The bad news is that Ryan Fitzpatrick is going to take over for at least the next few weeks, leaving Wright with even less big-play potential than he already had.

Kendall Wright played the second-most snaps (45) among the Titans wideouts in Sunday's win over the Chargers.
With Kenny Britt (zero receptions on 38 snaps) imploding, Wright's stock is rising. He's the Titans' best weapon after the catch and is now playing in some two-wide sets. Wright has posted 13 catches for 125 yards with one touchdown over the last two weeks, putting himself on the back end of the WR3 radar as the bye weeks approach.

Kendall Wright caught six passes for 71 yards in the Titans' Week 3 win over San Diego.
He's now caught six balls in back-to-back games, putting Wright on the WR3 radar. He caught all six of his targets against the Chargers. Wright has some playmaking ability, though his quarterback and the Titans' run-heavy offense limit his fantasy appeal. He's a low-end starter.
