1. Kendall Wright-WR-Tennessee Titans (46.9%)

Wright has been on our list for most of the season since his ownership dropped low enough for him to be eligible. The reason I’ve been a proponent of Wright is that he draws an incredibly high amount of targets no matter who is under center for Tennessee. On Sunday, Wright was targeted more than any other NFL receiver drawing 20 throws from Ryan Fitzpatrick. Wright converted 12 of those passes into catches and went for 150 yards which was good enough for fourth-best in the league. Wright had that impressive stat line against the usually solid Cardinals secondary.

This week, Wright has an even better matchup as he and the Titans head to Jacksonville to face the Jaguars. When Wright went up against the Jags week 10 he had seven catches for 78 yards. That kind of production has been very typical for him this season although he hasn’t found the end zone on a regular basis. Aside from an injury-hampered week 14, he has six catches or more in his last six weeks and is a very nice, steady producer.

He’s peaking at a good time as he face the susceptible Jaguars this week making him a great play in PPR leagues and a solid option if you need a flex play for your big game.
