The Tennessee Titans' wide receivers have been wildly inconsistent this season, with Justin Hunter and Kendall Wright taking turns as the team's top target, and Nate Washington occasionally jumping in. On Sunday, it was Wright with a taste of Washington, and Hunter was almost shut out of the Titans' 45-21 loss to the Houston Texans.
Fantasy football waiver wire, Week 14: Kendall Wright, Nate Washington find end zone
Two of the team’s top three receivers scored touchdowns, but that doesn’t clarify much. We break down the fantasy implications.

Wright caught seven passes for 132 yards and a touchdown in the game. Washington added five catches for 61 yards and a score himself. Hunter, meanwhile, caught only one pass for 18 yards. Wright and Washington were targeted nine times apiece, compared to only three targets for Hunter.
Fantasy impact: Who knows, really. Through 12 games, Wright has averaged 7.5 fantasy points a game, with Hunter at 5 and Washington at 4.7. That includes multiple games of three or fewer points for each guy, with no player offering any back-to-back games of eight or more fantasy points.
If you’re buying in on one Tennessee receiver, it’s clearly Wright, though that’s been the case all season long. Ultimately, none of the three is reliable or consistent enough to use on a weekly basis.
