2023 Fantasy Outlook
Wright has made a name for himself in Detroit since going undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2021, and the blocking specialist even reached TE1 status after T.J. Hockenson was traded midway through last season. However, that deal was largely predicated on the Lions not wanting to give Hockenson a contract extension rather than finding a way to give more playing time to Wright, especially because the team turned around and spent a 2023 second-rounder on the receiving-oriented Sam LaPorta. While Wright could snag a few more TDs in short-yardage situations this season, his main responsibilities likely will involve blocking. Read Past Outlooks

March 7, 2024
The Lions are slated to extend a contract tender to Wright (forearm) ahead of NFL free agency, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.
ANALYSIS
The report notes that by offering Wright, who is a restricted free agent, a right of first refusal tender of $2.985 million, the Lions will retain the right to match any contract the tight end signs. Wright is bouncing back from a broken left forearm that he sustained in the postseason and coming off a 2023 season in which he caught 13 passes for 91 yards and a TD in 14 regular-season games while working behind outstanding rookie Sam LaPorta.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start in wild-card round
TEDetroit Lions
January 10, 2024
Wright could serve Detroit's top tight end for Sunday's wild-card game against the Rams, as head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Sam LaPorta will likely miss the contest due to a knee injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
LaPorta sustained the injury in the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings and wasn't able to practice Wednesday. The standout rookie's absence coincided with Wright's return from a hip injury, as Wright logged a full practice Wednesday and looks ready for his first action since Week 15. Wright isn't usually much of a pass catcher, but he could see more opportunities against a Rams defense that allowed 987 yards and eight touchdowns to tight ends in the regular season, the sixth-most and second-most in the NFL, respectively.

2022 Fantasy Outlook
Wright enters the 2022 season with a little momentum after faring well as Detroit's No. 1 tight end down the stretch of the 2021 campaign in place of T.J. Hockenson. However, there remains no guarantee that he'll command a roster spot going forward. Not only does free-agent acquisition Garrett Griffin have a history with coach Dan Campbell from their New Orleans days, the Lions also spent a fifth-round draft pick on James Mitchell. With Hockenson back to full health, Wright may need an impressive offseason to make the team unless Detroit opts to carry four tight ends on the active roster.
