Kendall Wright Fantasy Stats

The Arizona Cardinals signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to a one-year deal on Monday and released rookie cornerback Deatrick Nichols in a corresponding move. Wright was the Bears leading receiver in 2017 with 59 catches for 614 yards and a touchdown. Arizona needs a lot of help on offense, generating 786 yards through the air in five games. Rookie Christian Kirk has been the team's leading receiver with only 19 catches for 234 yards and a score. Rookie quarterback Josh Rosen will likely continue to be up and down, too, so we find it hard to believe that Wright will carve out a fantasy-relevant role anytime soon.

Arizona Cardinals head coach Steve Wilks said the team worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright, but the team will not sign him. The Cardinals haven't been happy with the production from their receivers behind Larry Fitzgerald, but the whole offense has been dreadful so far and has produced just six points in two weeks. Fitzgerald is the only receiver in this offense worth starting in fantasy, and even then he should be downgraded to more of a WR3 until further notice.

The New England Patriots worked out free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright and running back Kenjon Barner, among many others, on Wednesday. Wright had a productive season for Chicago last year, catching 59 passes for 614 yards, but he had just one touchdown. The Patriots are looking for bodies in their receiver room with Julian Edelman suspended the first four games. Wright is unlikely to become fantasy relevant in New England if he signs, however. Barner ran the ball only 16 times for the Eagles in 2017.

The Minnesota Vikings are expected to release wide receiver Kendall Wright, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Wright signed a 1-year deal in March with just $300K guaranteed, but the Vikings are opting to go young with Laquon Treadwell, Stacey Coley, and Brandon Zylstra rounding out the receiving core behind Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. The move makes sense - both Diggs and Thielen can play and thrive in the slot and that's where Kendall Wright has made his mark in the NFL to date. This gives a boost to Laquon Treadwell as the team's clear third receiver, though it remains to be seen how many targets he'll attract with so many weapons ahead of him in the pecking order. Kendall Wright, meanwhile, will look to sign with a team in need of veteran wide receiver depth in the coming days.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Kendall Wright doesn't do much on special teams, so head coach Mike Zimmer hinted that Wright could be inactive on game days. "Probably won't be dressed on game day," Zimmer said. "I can't dress six WRs on game day and they don't help us on special teams." The 28-year-old has one 1,000-yard season, but it came in his second year in the league in 2013 with the Titans. Wright managed 59 catches for 614 yards and one touchdown in his lone season with Chicago in 2017, but that was on a team without many other options at wideout. In Minnesota he has Adam Thielen, Stefon Diggs and tight end Kyle Rudolph all ahead of him in the pecking order. Unless an injury opens up more of a role for him on game days, Wright can be avoided.

The Minnesota Vikings signed free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright to an undisclosed deal on Friday, according to a source. Wright quietly led the Bears in receptions (59) and receiving yards (614) last year, but that's not saying a whole lot. The signing is a sneaky good move for Minnesota, and the 28-year-old should compete for the No. 3 job with Laquon Treadwell behind Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Wright could be worth a late-round flier with quarterback Kirk Cousins now running the show in Minnesota.

The Minnesota Vikings hosted free-agent wide receiver Kendall Wright for a visit, according to a source. Wright hasn't garnered much interest on the open market after catching 59 passes for 614 yards and just one touchdown in a full season with the Bears in 2017. The Vikings already have Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs as their top two receivers, but Wright could compete for the No. 3 gig with Laquon Treadwell and others.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kendall Wright will be looking to finish up the season strong in Week 17 against the Vikings. Wright leads the Bears with 54 receptions for 585 yards this season, including 21 receptions over his last three games. He has built up a nice rapport with rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky over the last month but will go up against a Vikings defense that has allowed the ninth fewest fantasy points to wideouts. Minnesota has allowed only six different receivers to score more than 10 fantasy points against them and only one 100-yard receiver all season. Wright could produce a solid stat-line in PPR-formats but otherwise has a tough matchup for Week 17.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kendall Wright will take on a Browns secondary in Week 16 that has allowed the 14th fewest fantasy points to wideouts this season. Wright has enjoyed a late-season revival, catching 17 passes for 188 yards over his last two games. Wright's value will be best deployed in PPR leagues, but the Bears could choose to run the ball as often as possible against the Browns. The veteran receiver has only one touchdown on the season and it is tough to envision him finding the end zone in Week 16. Wright is a WR5/6 PPR play in the deepest of leagues.

Chicago Bears wide receiver Kendall Wright caught seven passes for 81 yards in the Bears 20-10 loss to the Lions. Wright led the team with 13 targets and now has 17 receptions for 189 yards over his last two games. It is becoming clear that Wright has emerged as the preferred target for rookie quarterback Mitch Trubisky heading towards the final two games of the season. Wright will be hard pressed to put up touchdowns but can be a playable PPR player in fantasy in deeper leagues.
