Minnesota Vikings receiver Jarius Wright took advantage of an easy matchup on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, grabbing eight balls for 132 yards in a 41-28 win. That output shattered what he did in the first three games, which included only three catches for 37 yards. Which Wright will we get this week against the Green Bay Packers?
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 5: Jarius Wright
Jarius Wright busted out in Week 4. Should fantasy owners use him this week?

Well, it's probably not going to be the Week 4 version. He was catch-less against the Packers in both games last season and didn't have a 100-yard game all year. Wright does have the Teddy Bridgewater factor working in his favor, but the rookie QB is questionable with an ankle injury. Plus, the Packers have a much-improved pass defense and the short week doesn't help.
Fantasy impact: There must be better options out there than Wright. Last week was probably a big fluke and Wright’s body of work makes him a complete shot in the dark. Fantasy owners should just cut him before their roster locks and stash someone else with more upside.
