Makes both kicks in blowout Wright made his lone field-goal attempt and his lone PAT during Sunday's 50-10 loss at New England.

Impact Jacksonville's offense managed only 11 first downs, so Wright once again had limited opportunities in the kicking game. He missed his first field goal of the season but is 16-for-18 on field goals over the past 10 games. Despite not missing a field goal since Week 10, Wright won't be on the fantasy radar for the final game of the regular season given the offense's struggles.

JANUARY 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Perfect on three kicks Wright made all three field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra-point during Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jets.

Impact Wright converted field goals from 21, 40 and 45 yards but never receive a PAT opportunity since Jacksonville attempted two-point conversions on all three touchdowns. The 25-year-old has now kicked three field goals in each of the past two games after not attempting any over the previous two contests. The inconsistent offense limits his fantasy value, but Wright has come on strong and is 16-for-19 on field-goal attempts and 10-for-12 on PATs this season.

DECEMBER 6, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes both field goals Wright converted both field-goal attempts and did not attempt an extra-point during Sunday's 21-14 loss to Atlanta.

Impact Wright converted from 22 and 34 yards in the contest, and the Jaguars opted for a two-point conversion on their only touchdown of the afternoon. He continue to have limited fantasy upside in poor offense that has topped the 20-point mark only three times in 11 games.

NOVEMBER 29, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Converts both kicks Wright made his only field-goal attempt and his lone PAT during Sunday's 30-10 loss to the 49ers.

Impact The Jacksonville offense mustered only 200 total yards Sunday, so Wright had only two scoring opportunities to score, which he capitalized on. The 25-year-old is 8-for-11 on field goals and 8-for-10 on PATs in seven games this season.

NOVEMBER 22, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

The 25-year-old did convert from 56 yards to close out the first half. Wright has attempted only two fields goals from inside 40 yards in six games, though he is 4-for-6 on attempts from 50-plus yards.

NOVEMBER 15, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Provides only scoring in win Wright made three of four field-goal attempts during Sunday's 9-6 win over the Bills.

Impact Wright converted from 21, 39 and 55 yards to supply Jacksonville's only points of the afternoon, He also missed wide left from 42 yards during the third quarter, which was comically preceded by two unofficial misses that were negated by penalties. Wright is 6-for-8 on field goals and 7-for-8 on PATs through five games this season, and he remains a fantasy kicker to avoid given the overall struggles of the Jacksonville offense.

NOVEMBER 9, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Makes extra-point attempt Wright made his lone PAT and didn't' attempt a field goal during Sunday's 31-7 loss to the Seahawks.

Impact Jacksonville's offense struggled most of the day, and it's only drive that went beyond the Seattle 38-yard line resulted in a touchdown. Wright is 3-for-4 on field goals and 7-for-8 on PATs in four games this season, and the Jaguars offense doesn't supply enough scoring chances for him to be fantasy relevant, even if he made every kick.

NOVEMBER 1, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Converts game-winning kick Wright made all three field-goal attempts and both PATs during Sunday's 23-20 win over the Dolphins.

Impact The Jaguars entered Sunday's contest without a made field goal on the season, but Wright came through three times in London, inlcuding the game-winning kick from 53 yards as time expired. He also converted from 40 and 54 yards. Josh Lambo remains on the roster for now, but it should be Wright's job moving forward following his Week 6 performance, even if he does end up back on the practice squad as a procedural move this week.

Tagovailoa to start, CBs Howard, Jones out for Dolphins

Retains kicking job Wright will serve as the Jaguars' kicker Sunday against the Dolphins in London with Josh Lambo (coach's decision) inactive for the contest, Mia O'Brien of First Coast News Jacksonv...

Impact For the second straight week, Wright has won out in the competition for kicking duties for Lambo, who has been forced to battle for his job following a Week 4 absence due to personal reasons. Though he missed an extra-point try and hit the crossbar and missed on a 53-yard attempt in last week's loss to the Titans, Wright could build up some more job security with a stronger showing in London.

OCTOBER 17, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Signs on with Jacksonville Wright signed a contract with the Jaguars on Saturday, John Shipley of SI.com reports.

Impact It sure seems like Josh Lambo's tenure with the team could be coming to an end, and at least for the immediate future expect Wright to once again handle the primary kicking duties. Wright has attempted just one field goal over the last two weeks as a starter, but he's at least gone 4-for-5 on extra-point attempts over that stretch.

Reverts back to practice squad Wright reverted back to the Jaguars' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Wright operated as the primary kicker Sunday, as Josh Lambo (coach's decision) was inactive. However, he failed to take advantage of the opportunity, as he hit the upright on a PAT during the first quarter and left a 53-yard field goal short.

OCTOBER 12, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Misses PAT Wright made one of two PATs and missed his lone field-goal attempt during Sunday's 37-19 loss to the Titans.

Impact Wright hit the right upright on a PAT during the first quarter, and he also came up short and hit the crossbar on a 53-yard field goal. The 25-year-old won the kicking competition with Josh Lambo last week, but he was unable to fully take advantage of the game opportunity. Lambo and Wright are a combined 0-for-4 on field-goal attempts as the Jaguars have yet to convert one this season. Wright was a gameday elevation Sunday and will revert back to the practice squad, and it's uncertain if he'll receive another chance to kick for Jacksonville.
