Kendall Wright-WR-Tennessee Titans

The Titans have been trying to find consistent production from their WR spot, and they got it form Kendall Wright this week in their win over Cleveland. He didn’t play a ton of snaps, but he was effective and led the team in receiving yards and found the end zone. His role going forward is a major question mark, but he flashed the upside that makes him one of the fantasy football sleepers to keep an eye on moving forward.

According to Jim Wyatt:

Only 35% of snaps isn’t enough to keep him in the fantasy football discussion on a weekly basis, but his 133 yards and a touchdown show he can produce when given the chance. The Titans should move him up their rotation since Andre Johnson and Tajae Sharpe have both struggled at opposite ends of their NFL careers.

I’m not sure I’m all-in on Wright just yet, but his big week 7 puts him on the radar moving forward. The Titans have a couple great matchups the next two weeks against the Colts and Jags, so we should have a good idea of how involved he’ll be going forward after this home games.
