Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip), who missed the final three games of the regular season due to a hip injury, practiced in full all week and has been cleared to play on Sunday night in the wild-card playoff contest against the Los Angeles Rams. Wright managed just 13 receptions for 91 yards and one touchdown in 14 games in 2023 in his third season with the Lions, but he could serve as the team's primary pass-catching tight end on Sunday if rookie Sam LaPorta (knee) doesn't get cleared to play through his questionable tag. The 25-year-old would still be more of a long shot for DFS lineups on wild-card weekend if LaPorta is inactive, but don't ignore the fact that the Rams defense allowed the fourth-most half-PPR points to opposing tight ends during the regular season.
Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) was able to get through a full practice session on Thursday. Wright has been able to get through two straight full practices, which is a great sign heading into this weekend. The 25-year-old could be asked to start with fellow tight end Sam LaPorta (knee) uncertain for Wild-Card weekend. Wright hasn't done much offensively this season with only 13 receptions for 91 yards. However, Wright could be a possible low-cost DFS option if LaPorta is unable to play.
Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) made his return to practice on Wednesday after missing the last three weeks of the regular season with a hip injury. Wright could earn a start in Sunday night's wild-card meeting with the Los Angeles Rams if rookie Sam LaPorta (knee) is held out. The 25-year-old doesn't have the same high-end catching ability as LaPorta, but he's a trusted veteran who earned most of the starts after T.J. Hockenson was traded to the Minnesota Vikings in the middle of last season. Wright had just 13 receptions on 14 targets for a career-low 91 yards and one touchdown in his third year for the Lions in 14 games during the regular season, but he could be worth a look as a low-cost sleeper at the tight end position in DFS lineups if LaPorta is inactive on Sunday evening. UPDATE: Wright practiced in full Wednesday.
Detroit Lions wide receiver Jameson Williams (ankle) and tight end Brock Wright (hip) will return to practice this week and are expected to play against the Los Angeles Rams in the NFC Wild Card game on Sunday Night Football. Williams missed the Week 18 game against the Minnesota Vikings with an ankle injury and illness, while Wright was absent due to a hip ailment. With Sam LaPorta (knee) and Kalif Raymond (knee) getting banged up on Sunday, the return of Williams and Wright could be a significant development. Williams has boom-or-bust appeal in playoff leagues and DFS, but Wright has limited upside even if he's elevated to the No. 1 tight end role.
Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (hip) missed all three practices this week and has officially been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Minnesota Vikings. After playing the first 14 games this season, Wright has now missed three consecutive weeks, leaving some questions about his availability for the playoffs. Standout rookie Sam LaPorta will remain the top option at tight end, ranking as a solid mid-range TE1 in most fantasy football leagues.
