Matthew Wright News
The Jacksonville Jaguars waived kicker Matthew Wright on Wednesday. It's a bit of a surprise, as Wright served as the starting kicker last year for Jacksonville, going 21-for-24 on his field-goal attempts and 13-for-15 on extra points in 14 games. The Jaguars have kickers Ryan Santoso and Andrew Mevis currently on their roster. Wright replaced Josh Lambo after he was released by the team on Oct. 19. Wright made seven of 10 kicks from 40-plus yards, including a 56-yarder, but he failed to kick balls deep into the end zone for touchbacks on kickoffs. If the Jaguars don't bring any other kicking candidates for training camp, Santoso and Mevis will compete for starting duties in 2022.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright converted all three of his field goal attempts in the team's 26-21 loss to the New York Jets. Wright is now an impressive 16/19 (84 percent) on field goals this season, but he simply cannot be counted on for suitable volume week in and week out, so fantasy managers are better off trotting out a kicker operating in a more prolific offense.
Jacksonville Jaguars kicker Matthew Wright converted his only extra-point try and didn't attempt a field goal in a Week 13 loss to the Rams. Wright has been steady all year long when given the opportunity to kick, but those opportunities have been few and far between due to Jacksonville's immense offensive struggles. Until the Jaguars offense starts moving the ball at a respectable rate, Wright shouldn't be a fantasy consideration.
