Kendall Wright caught four passes for 47 yards and a touchdown versus the Colts in Week 8.
Kenny Britt's loss was Wright's gain. Two plays after Britt lost a 22-yard touchdown to a pass interference call, Wright made a spectacular toe-dragging catch in tight coverage in corner of the end zone for a 23-yard score. As the Titans' third receiver, he's not going to be a recommended fantasy play versus the Bears in Week 9.

Kendall Wright caught three passes for 19 yards in the Titans' Week 7 win over the Bills.
With the Titans' receiving corps healthy, Wright is a rotational player. He saw a mere three targets on dumpoffs from a tentative Matt Hasselbeck. With Kenny Britt healthy, Wright is just fantasy depth.

Kendall Wright caught six passes for 71 yards in the Titans' Week 6 win.
Wright led the Titans in both categories. He continues to be the league's most productive rookie receiver. Wright does his best work when the quarterback can get him the ball in space. Even with Kenny Britt returning to form, the first-rounder will continue get "his." He had an opportunity for a touchdown on the opening drive, but it slipped through his hands. Look for the passing offense to roll through the Bills in Week 7.

Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 66 yards in the Titans' Week 5 loss to the Vikings.
Wright was targeted a team-high 11 times by Matt Hasselbeck and was clearly the lone bright spot for Tennessee on Sunday. Hasselbeck kept working the ball to the rookie on slants and quick-hitters throughout the game, as that was the only type of pass the quarterback could complete. The nine catches is a season-high for Wright. He and the Titans face the Steelers' middle-of-the-pack pass defense on Thursday night in Week 6.

A league source tells Profootballtalk.com that Titans players have already begun "grumbling" about second-year offensive coordinator Chris Palmer.
The players have reportedly expressed doubt about Palmer's track record with more than 20 years at the NFL level and no tenure with any team of longer than four years. Palmer has had an up-and-down coaching career and the Titans managed just 13 points in Sunday's loss to the Patriots, but the "grumbling" seems off base. Management is to blame for not upgrading the interior offensive line, and the Titans finished 17th in the league in total offense last year despite Chris Johnson's career-worst season and only two full games out of top receiver Kenny Britt with 36-year-old Matt Hasselbeck at quarterback. Titans players should play better and stop blaming the coaching.

Titans offensive coordinator Chris Palmer feels rookie WR Kendall Wright "needs a little more work right now."
Despite Plamer's cautious words, he's confident that Wright will be an impact player. With Kenny Britt suspended for Week 1, the Titans will look to Wright to step in and play right away. He caught a team-high nine passes in the preseason, but we're not comfortable with him as anything more than a WR4 this week.

Coach Mike Munchak confirmed that Kendall Wright will start Sunday's opener against the Patriots.
Thanks to Kenny Britt's knee and off-field issues, Wright has been preparing for this since the day he was drafted. The lightning-quick Baylor product posted nine catches for 116 yards and a touchdown in the preseason, proving he's NFL-ready. Wright is shaping up as an intriguing WR3 or flex option in Week 1.

Kendall Wright led the Titans with four receptions for 44 yards and a touchdown against the Cardinals in the third preseason game.
Wright kicked off the scoring by beating Patrick Peterson for a 10-yard touchdown. His most impressive grab was a leaping one over the Cardinals' top corner for 28-yard catch-and-run. Poised to start in place of suspension candidate Kenny Britt in Week 1, Wright has caught 7-of-8 targets for 91 yards in five quarters of preseason action. He's an intriguing late-round flier.
