Wright caught four passes for 21 yards Sunday before the injury. Among the team’s wide receivers, Justin Hunter was second in receiving yards, with 17 on two receptions, followed by rookie Dorial Green-Beckham, who caught one pass for 12 yards.
Fantasy impact: Wright walked off under his own power, and early reports were that the injury wasn’t too significant. Even if so, it’s a sprained MCL, which is typically at least a multiple-week injury. Expect not to see Wright for at least two or three games.
In the meantime, with Harry Douglas also injured, the Titans are going to have to give more looks to Green-Beckham. Hunter has had his chances to be a prominent receiver in the offense, and has failed multiple times. Green-Beckham, the rookie, has upside. With quarterback Marcus Mariota also ailing, the best bet is to just avoid Tennessee receivers, but in a pinch, Green-Beckham would be the one to add.
