Tennessee Titans top wideout Kendall Wright will have a new quarterback throwing his way on Sunday.
Fantasy start/sit advice Week 8: Kendall Wright
The Titans have a new quarterback under center for Week 8 and beyond. Can Kendall Wright thrive in this new situation? We break down the fantasy implications.

With the season essentially lost, Titans brass has decided to let rookie Zach Mettenberger helm the offense over Jake Locker and veteran backup Charlie Whitehurst. The Titans currently rank 28th in passing offense per game and have just nine touchdowns through the air this season.
Fantasy Spin: Despite the struggles through the air, Wright has put up respectable, but inconsistent numbers which have allowed him solid WR3 standing in PPR leagues due to being force-fed targets.
But with a rookie sixth-rounder now under center, fantasy owners need to be leery of Wright’s remainder of the season. The floor and ceiling of the offense are nowhere near promising, and chemistry issues with new quarterbacks can arise.
Versus a Houston Texans defense that will likely get Jadeveon Clowney back, Wright isn't an encouraging play with hands constantly in Mettenberger's face. Owners can keep him stashed and hope for the best long-term.
