Kendall Wright redeems himself with two touchdowns for fantasy owners
After four weeks of disappointment, Wright offered his best stat line of the year. We break down the fantasy implications.

The six receptions tied a season-high for Wright. His two touchdowns receptions set a career-high. He only caught two touchdowns in all of 2013.
Fantasy impact: Wright has yet to finish with more than 55 yards receiving in a single game in 2014. He was a disappointment for fantasy owners through the first four weeks, and he was probably on the bench for the majority of teams in Week 5 due to his lack of production.
Seeing Wright catch two touchdown passes in a single game is almost like seeing Bigfoot. It just doesn’t happen. He caught one from Jake Locker and the other from Charlie Whitehurst, which made the feat even more unusual. Wright is still a decent flex play in PPR leagues, but his upside is shaky going forward.
