Tampa Bay Buccaneers cornerback Eric Wright will sit out Sunday's game against the Atlanta Falcons with a sore Achilles. Wright has 34 solo tackles, eight pass deflections and an interception, helping lead the way to four straight wins for Tampa, but has sat out several practices this week and will miss a game for the first time this season.
Eric Wright out: Falcons passing game gets fantasy upgrade
Will the Falcons and Matt Ryan be able to capitalize? We break down the fantasy implications.
Jeff Griffith-US PRESSWIRE
Wright was newly signed this season, joining the Buccaneers from Detroit after spending four years with the Cleveland Browns.
Fantasy Take: The Bucs take on the Atlanta Falcons on Sunday, opening the door a little bit wider for Matt Ryan, Julio Jones, and Roddy White. It may not make a huge difference, but this does give a slight upgrade to the Falcons passing game.
Not that you weren’t starting those three players as it is.
