2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wright is a distant second behind Sam LaPorta on Detroit’s TE depth chart. LaPorta has missed only one game in his two-year NFL career, and Wright was limited to just one catch in that game, though it went for a five-yard TD in a 52-6 rout of the Jaguars in 2024. That’s one of nine touchdowns Wright has scored in his four-year NFL career, and he has averaged just 131 yards per season with a high of 216. Wright’s fantasy value is nearly nonexistent as long as LaPorta’s available, and Wright seems unlikely to pick up all that much slack in the passing game should LaPorta get hurt, as the Lions have plenty of alternatives at other positions in their high-powered offense.

Quiet year in No. 2 role

January 26, 2025
Wright finished the 2024 regular season having caught 13 of 16 targets for 100 yards and two touchdowns over 17 games.
ANALYSIS
Wright was once again the No. 2 option at tight end behind Sam LaPorta, operating as a top-tier blocking option at his position. Wright found his way into the end zone on a pair of occasions, including in Week 11 against the Jaguars when he drew the start at tight end in place of LaPorta, who was unavailable with a shoulder injury. Wright signed a three-year deal with Detroit in April, and he'll likely enter the 2025 campaign in a very similar role as the top reserve option at tight end.

How often does Brock Wright run a route when on the field for a pass play?
This data will let you see how Brock Wright and the other tight ends for the Lions are being used. Some tight ends may have a lot of snaps, but they're not that useful for fantasy purposes because they're not actually running routes. This data will help you see when this is the case.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2022
After the 49ers extended a three-year, $12 million offer sheet to Wright as a restricted free agent this offseason, the Lions retained him, meaning he'll return to Detroit for a fourth season with the team. The tight end has never been considered a significant pass catcher, topping out at 18 receptions in 2022, but his elite run-blocking ability has made him an invaluable asset for the Lions offense. With Sam LaPorta operating as the team's primary offensive weapon at tight end, Wright's week-to-week output likely will remain limited in the fall.
Wright has made a name for himself in Detroit since going undrafted out of Notre Dame in 2021, and the blocking specialist even reached TE1 status after T.J. Hockenson was traded midway through last season. However, that deal was largely predicated on the Lions not wanting to give Hockenson a contract extension rather than finding a way to give more playing time to Wright, especially because the team turned around and spent a 2023 second-rounder on the receiving-oriented Sam LaPorta. While Wright could snag a few more TDs in short-yardage situations this season, his main responsibilities likely will involve blocking.
Wright enters the 2022 season with a little momentum after faring well as Detroit's No. 1 tight end down the stretch of the 2021 campaign in place of T.J. Hockenson. However, there remains no guarantee that he'll command a roster spot going forward. Not only does free-agent acquisition Garrett Griffin have a history with coach Dan Campbell from their New Orleans days, the Lions also spent a fifth-round draft pick on James Mitchell. With Hockenson back to full health, Wright may need an impressive offseason to make the team unless Detroit opts to carry four tight ends on the active roster.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could start in wild-card round
TEDetroit Lions
January 10, 2024
Wright could serve Detroit's top tight end for Sunday's wild-card game against the Rams, as head coach Dan Campbell said Monday that Sam LaPorta will likely miss the contest due to a knee injury, Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
ANALYSIS
LaPorta sustained the injury in the Lions' Week 18 win over the Vikings and wasn't able to practice Wednesday. The standout rookie's absence coincided with Wright's return from a hip injury, as Wright logged a full practice Wednesday and looks ready for his first action since Week 15. Wright isn't usually much of a pass catcher, but he could see more opportunities against a Rams defense that allowed 987 yards and eight touchdowns to tight ends in the regular season, the sixth-most and second-most in the NFL, respectively.
