2025 Fantasy Outlook
Wright kicked for six different teams over the past five seasons, never appearing in more than 14 games for any one franchise and not lasting more than four games at a time for any team since 2021. He's made 87.3 percent of his career field-goal attempts and 95.3 percent of PATs, hinting at potential to hold down a job long term if someone gives him a chance. The Panthers may do just that, with undrafted rookie Ryan Fitzgerald being the only other kicker on the roster ahead of training camp. Read Past Outlooks
Inks deal with Carolina
The Panthers signed Wright to a reserve/future contract Tuesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wright spent time with Kansas City, the 49ers and the Titans in 2024, converting 15 of his 16 field-goal attempts and all six of his extra-point tries. With Eddy Pineiro set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, Wright's signing provides Carolina with another option at kicker.

2021 Fantasy Outlook
With Matt Prater gone, Wright will compete with veteran Randy Bullock for kicking duties in Detroit this season. With 107 games played for the 31-year-old Bullock compared to four 2020 cameos for the 25-year-old Wright, experience is not on the latter's side. Wright at least took advantage of the limited action he saw with the Steelers last year, making four of four field goal attempts - including two from beyond 40 yards - and all seven of his PATs. In the end, he may be a long shot to prevail, but he does have a chance.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could be active in Week 4
Kansas City signed Wright to its practice squad Tuesday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
With Harrison Butker sidelined by an ankle injury, Kansas City had turned to Matt Ammendola as their kicker for the last two weeks. However, Ammendola struggled in Week 3 against the Colts, missing a field-goal attempt as well as an extra point. Should Butker not be ready for Week 4, Wright will be activated from the practice squad to serve as the starting kicker. Most recently, Wright played for the Jaguars and made 21 of his 24 field-goal attempts in 2021.
