Detroit Lions head coach Dan Campbell referred to tight end Brock Wright's injury as a "trachea" and said that it could be a long-term issue, according to Dave Birkett of Detroit Free Press. Campbell said that the team is still sending out scans for other opinions, but it's not good news for the 27-year-old tight end. Wright suffered what was initially described as a neck injury during Detroit's Week 12 overtime win over the New York Giants and missed their Week 13 game against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. Wright hasn't been a big receiving threat with just 14 receptions (22 targets) for 108 yards and two touchdowns this season, but he was the team's top tight end after Sam LaPorta (back) was placed on Injured Reserve. Ross Dwelley and Anthony Firsker are next up on the depth chart for Detroit's options at tight end moving forward.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (neck) has officially been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers, according to Colton Pouncy of The Athletic. Wright was listed as a DNP every day in practice this week after injuring his neck during the Lions' Week 12 overtime win over the New York Giants. The 26-year-old has served as the team's top tight end for the past two games with Sam LaPorta (back) on injured reserve. The production has been modest, recording five catches for 37 yards on 11 targets. Ross Dwelley is in line to see an increase in snaps on Thanksgiving, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for potential streaming options.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (neck) injured his neck in Sunday's overtime win over the New York Giants and has missed two practices this week. Wright will probably need to practice in some capacity on Wednesday to avoid being ruled out entirely. With Sam LaPorta (back) going on Injured Reserve, Wright has operated as the team's top pass-catching tight end the last two weeks, but it has amounted to only five catches for 37 yards on 11 targets. If the 26-year-old is ruled out for Thursday's game versus the division-rival Green Bay Packers, Ross Dwelley figures to see an expanded role for Detroit at the TE position. Fantasy managers should be looking for better and healthier streaming options at tight end in Week 13. Wright is currently rostered in only 2% of Yahoo leagues.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (neck) was listed as a non-participant during Monday's estimated practice. Wright played nearly 90 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday, but appears to have picked up a neck injury along the way. His status is now uncertain heading into a short week with a matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving. The Lions are already without Sam LaPorta (back), so losing Wright would really put them in a bad spot. The 26-year-old hauled in three of his four targets for 29 yards during Sunday's win over the New York Giants. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on his status.

In his second game since taking over for the injured Sam LaPorta (back) in Week 12, Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright recorded three catches for 29 yards on four targets against the New York Giants. With LaPorta likely out for the remainder of the 2025 season after undergoing back surgery, Wright likely has an extended runway as the TE1 in Detroit. He was on the field for 88% of his team's offensive snaps in Week 12. Still, Wright has always been more of a blocker than a receiver throughout his NFL career. Across 69 career NFL games (all with Detroit), the 26-year-old has recorded 70 receptions and 11 touchdowns. He's probably a safe bet to see around five targets per game, but Wright still likely needs to find the end zone to provide fantasy-relevant production. He does not profile as a top-12 fantasy tight end heading into a difficult Week 13 matchup against the Green Bay Packers on Thanksgiving Day.

With top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) currently on Injured Reserve due to a back injury, veteran Brock Wright has been elevated to TE1 status in Detroit. In his first game without LaPorta in Week 11, Wright was targeted seven times but hauled in just two catches for eight yards against the Philadelphia Eagles. On paper, Wright has an easier matchup in Week 12 against the New York Giants. So far this season, New York has allowed the sixth-most passing yards (2,641) and seventh-most passing touchdowns (19) in the NFL. However, Wright's lack of proven track record as a receiving threat makes him tough to trust for fantasy managers. Across 68 career games with Detroit, the 26-year-old has recorded 67 receptions. He profiles as a low-end fantasy TE2 in Week 12 against the Giants.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (ankle) immediately slotted in as a full-time player in Week 11, with Sam LaPorta (back) placed on Injured Reserve. Wright played 83.1% of the snaps and ran 59% of the routes, finishing with two catches for eight yards on a career high seven targets against the Eagles. The Lions' offense struggled collectively, with Jared Goff completing just 37.8% of his passes. Wright was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, so that will be something to monitor in the coming days. But it is positive to see Wright get the role and usage in LaPorta's absence, and he is set to be a consistent piece of one of the league's best offenses for the next handful of games. Assuming he plays in Week 12 against the Giants, Wright could be a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a bye week replacement.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright was targeted seven times on Sunday night against the Eagles, but he only hauled in two catches for eight yards. It was a new career-high for the veteran in his fifth season out of Notre Dame. Wright was in a bigger role with SamLaPorta (back) on IR, and he should remain the team's top tight end for at least the next three games. The Lions will look to get back on track against the Giants this week in a favorable matchup for Wright. His targets could indicate that he'll be more involved in the next few weeks, making him a deep-league sleeper, but he'll need to convert more of them to catches before becoming a reliable starter in standard formats. If you are desperate for depth or a bye-week replacement, he has upside, but he hasn't delivered on it yet, so he is a high-risk waiver wire pickup.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (ankle) has seen minimal usage in his team's pass game so far this season, recording nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns on 11 targets across nine games played. However, the absence of Lions tight end Sam LaPorta (back) could push Wright into a far more prominent role in Week 11 against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright is also listed as questionable for Sunday's game due to an ankle injury, but he's expected to be able to play. In the lone game that LaPorta missed for the Lions in 2024, Wright recorded one catch for five yards and a touchdown on one target against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 26-year-old Wright has scored 11 touchdowns across 67 career games, but he's never played a sizable role in Detroit's passing game. Even with LaPorta sidelined, fantasy managers should avoid starting Wright in Week 11 against Philadelphia.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 11 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. Wright missed practice on Wednesday, but was able to get in limited sessions on Thursday and Friday. His status is more important now with Sam LaPorta (back) being ruled out for this contest. If Wright sits out, Ross Dwelley is the third string tight end. Fantasy managers will need to check back for another update on Wright. The 26-year-old could be a possible streaming option with an expanded role.

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has recorded nine catches for 71 yards and two touchdowns on 10 targets across eight games played in 2025. The 26-year-old is firmly behind Sam LaPorta on the Lions' tight end depth chart and sees most of his work come as a blocker. However, there's some reason to believe Wright may see the field a bit more in Week 10. The Lions have been struggling in pass protection recently, allowing 14 sacks over their last four games. Additionally, starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) and swing tackle Dan Skipper (back) are both questionable to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Detroit's offensive line issues could lead to more two-tight-end sets and heavier personnel usage, which would benefit Wright. Still, it's hard to imagine he'll be able to provide even modest fantasy production without a touchdown reception in Week 10.

From RotoBaller

Detroit Lions tight end Brock Wright has just five catches for 37 yards on six targets so far this season, but two of his catches have resulted in touchdowns. The 27-year-old plays a consistent role in the Lions' offense, as he's played at least 40% of the team's offensive snaps in four out of five games this season. However, Wright's primary usage will likely be as a blocker as long as top Lions tight end Sam LaPorta remains healthy. In 63 career games played for Detroit, Wright has recorded 61 catches for 561 yards and 11 touchdowns. Wright and the Lions have a difficult matchup in Week 6 against the Kansas City Chiefs, who have allowed the ninth-fewest passing yards (999) and the fourth-fewest number of passing touchdowns (five) in the NFL so far this season. Wright should remain off the radar of fantasy managers in Week 6.
