Catches are nice, but his 7.9 yards/catch rate is less than some RB's. Not sure if he just catches screen passes or what, but I'd like to see that at least hit double digits.
80/800 is decent. 80/650 not so much.

Have not seen much of the Titans, but do they ever try to get him downfield? I know at this point Washington is a better deep threat, but Wright did have a knack for that at Baylor, so I'd think they might try it.
Or maybe it's the poor o-line play not allowing that stuff to develop...

I was watching the Titans Vikings game and all he did was catch some 5 yard 3 step drops from hasselback. Maybe his ypc will be higher with Locker as he can stretch the field more with his big arm.
He's pretty cash in PPR given his cost, he's 20th in targets and 34th in PPR before tonight. He almost came down with another TD i garbage time yesterday. Most of Wrights points are coming in garbage time when the Titans are throwing every down and Wright is consistently breaking open underneath. At the moment he's a very good WR4 with upside. If the Titans ever get any offense going he may suffer in targets some but he should be able to finally demonstrate his explosiveness in the play action game, and if they start giving him some double moves to get deep.
I don't think there's much question Wright has been the best performing rookie WR to date this year (he has twice as many catches as anyone else). Some of that is circumstance, but he already looks pretty polished and has earned his QBs trust. Basically the skies the limit... or more accurately the ability of the Titans offense to produce anything is the limit.

He wasn't clocked fast but had plenty of big plays at Baylor. I think his YPC grows at least marginally from here on out.

Having nice year. Compared to Deshaun Jackson out of college, but I'd take Wright over him in a PPR league.
Already made more over the middle grabs in 6 games than Deshaun has his whole career.

guy you should sell, stat line is ahead of the player. looks overmatched at times and runs routes that won't net him big yardage. with Britt back he will get a huge chunk of targets and I think you will see a lot of 4 rec 30 yard games. I don't see big time talent here either, if you can find someone who believes (shouldn't be that hard judging the posts here) sell him after this game. people love to dream about rookies

I'm not saying you're wrong, but bear in mind that he's a rookie. When you think about what guys like Michael Floyd, Brian Quick, AJ Jenkins, and Justin Blackmon are doing, it's relatively impressive that Wright is able to get on the field and catch some passes. I think we all got spoiled by Julio and Green last year to expect instant impact from every highly-touted rookie WR. More often than not, there are growing pains. Makes it hard to judge what you're seeing on the field. There have been guys like DHB and Andre Roberts who literally look like different players three years into their NFL careers than when they were rookies.

fair enough but I think the general attitude toward rookies is so dreamy you can get major value right now because people think they are getting WR3 value now and high end WR2 value for the future. he might become that but I have seen enough to think the odds are against that try and trade him.

He's going to be the alot guy for the foreseeable future, which isn't a bad thing. His ypc was skewed by the Vikings game where he was the hot read on most every play. So it won't go much lower. I don't expect it to go up much either as he's going to pretty much be running drags, slants and curls regardless of who is at quarterback. But in ppr he is a great value even now. I would be surprised of he finished with fewer than 75 catches.

On pace for around 90 balls at this point. Nice little bye week filler. He's the next Amendola.

Looks like he is running by people as easily as he did in college. He only clocked 4.6 at the combine, but seems far more explosive than that. He's the outside WR on the top of the screen in this clip.

I'd like to see Tennessee take some more deep shots with him. We haven't really seen that yet. Whether or not he can hit the big plays on a consistent basis will probably go a long way towards determining his ultimate ceiling.

Wright didn't run by anyone. The Steelers defense was confused and not set and there was no Safety near him. It was simply blown coverage.

Did a quick calculation and without his long catch of 35 yards this year (his only over 20 yards), through halftime today he has 34 catches for 258 yards - 7.6 YPC. Great PPR guy but I'm not seeing a game breaker.
because that's what people on here do.

See above, it was blown coverage. Watch the video if you don't believe it.

I agree with this, I don't see a huge upside here but he should be a nice possession(PPR) WR.
Ah. So you went through all the touchdowns of the players you would compare him too and subtracted out the blown coverages? Because otherwise you are cherry picking data. Coverages get blown, its part of the game.
cstu
Footballguy
Ok.
I disagree, I would definitely want to know if a guy's biggest play is a blown coverage. There is a difference, especially if it seems like a trend (so far, Wright has no real big yardage plays except for a blown coverage).

Over the past four weeks Wright's snap percentage has been as follows..
75%, 85%. 66%, 44%
When we get the stats for week 7, I'm betting his snap percentage will closely mirror what he's received over the past 2 weeks as opposed to weeks 3-4. Although his targets were high over that period of time (8,11,8,11), I'm expecting them to drop as well.

How many deep looks does he have? Don't confuse lack of opportunity for lack of ability. You can't catch deep passes when they aren't thrown to you. The Titans have Britt and Washington for that.
Kendall is on the field making plays and getting valuable experience. More than can be said for Blackmon, Floyd, Jenkins, Quick, Hill, etc.
