Matthew Wright News
Free-agent kicker Matthew Wright signed with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the team announced on X on Wednesday. Wright went undrafted after his final season at UCF in 2018 and has spent time with eight NFL organizations, including three stints with the Steelers. In 20 NFL games, the 28-year-old has connected on 40 of his 47 field goal attempts and 35 of his 37 extra point tries. In all likelihood, veteran kicker Chris Boswell, who has been with Pittsburgh since 2015, will remain the starter. If Wright surprisingly wins the kicking job this offseason, he could have streaming viability in 2024 fantasy football.
Carolina Panthers kicker Matthew Wright, who was elevated to the active roster on Saturday, will serve as the team's primary kicker versus the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 18. The decision to elevate and activate Wright is a direct result of Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) missing Sunday's regular-season finale. Wright attempted 33 kicks last year but hasn't registered a snap in 2023. That will presumably change this week, though he remains off the fantasy radar given the Panthers' ongoing offensive struggles.
The Atlanta Falcons signed free agent kicker Matthew Wright to their practice squad on Thursday. This was a proactive move by Atlanta after kicker Younghoe Koo (back) missed practice a day earlier. Wright split time with the Chiefs and Steelers in 2022, going 15-for-18 on field goals and 15-for-15 on extra points through six contests. If forced into action versus the Saints, he would rank outside of the top 12 at the kicker position.
