Kendall Wright adds 80 yards for fantasy owners in Week 11

Kendall Wright caught nine passes for 80 yards on a game-high 12 targets against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 11 on Thursday night. He was by far the favorite wideout to look for from Ryan Fitzpatrick, and he only finished behind Delanie Walker in receiving.
Wright matched his season high for catches with nine. He still hasn’t scored a touchdown since Week 2, but Wright is paying off for PPR owners who invested in him when they had the chance.
Fantasy impact: Jake Locker goes down for the year, and Wright becomes an even more important option in the passing game. Ryan Fitzpatrick had no intention of pushing the ball downfield, which worked well for the short and intermediate routes the Titans force Wright to run.
The Titans face a poor secondary in the Oakland Raiders next week. Wright can be expected to catch at least five passes based on the way his season has gone to this point.
