Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has just five catches for 37 yards on six targets so far this season, but two of his catches have resulted in touchdowns. The 27-year-old plays a consistent role in the Lions' offense, as he's played at least 40% of the team's offensive snaps in four out of five games this season. However, Wright's primary usage will likely be as a blocker as long as top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta remains healthy. In 63 career games played for Detroit, Wright has recorded 61 catches for 561 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wright and the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Wright should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright will be the next man up with Sam LaPorta (shoulder) ruled out ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Wright has only seen two targets over the last four games. He has been on the field for over 55 percent of the snaps over each of the last two contests. He figures to see more involvement in the passing game with LaPorta unable to play. Wright hasn't done enough to be trusted in most fantasy formats. He could be a dart throw in DFS contests, but is nothing more than a desperation streaming option.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright saw some added opportunities on Sunday after his counterpart Sam LaPorta (ankle) suffered an ankle injury. During the Week 3 win over the Arizona Cardinals, Wright saw the second-most targets with five and posted four receptions for 34 yards. LaPorta was able to return in this game but was noticeably affected by the injury. If LaPorta isn't able to fully recover by the Week 4 slate against the Seattle Seahawks, Wright would be the next in line to get starter's opportunities. He doesn't hold nearly the same potential as LaPorta but could be in line for a spot start. Despite not scoring a touchdown, Wright registered a TE12 finish in half-PPR formats before the Monday Night Football games.
