Kendall Wright had his best game of the season in Week 14 against the Cincinnati Bengals. The Chicago Bears wideout out caught 10 passes for 107 in the win Sunday. It was the first time Wright caught 10 passes and gained over 100 receiving yards this season. He leads the Bears receiving core across all categories, but only has 477 yards and one touchdown this year.

On Saturday night, Wright will get a revenge game against the Detroit Lions. He caught two passes for 25 yards in their first meeting back in Week 11. He has a favorable matchup against a soft Detroit passing defense that has given up the 10th-most receiving yards to wideouts in the league this season.
Fantasy impact: The Bears passing game is a stepsister to their run attack. Wright has barely made a dent in any other game for the Bears this season. His performance in Cincinnati was an anomaly. It would be silly to expect another game like that from Wright Saturday night. He is definitely not worth the gamble in such a high-stakes fantasy week.
