While in Arizona, he ran 2-TE sets at the sixth-highest rate in the league, and 3-TE sets at the highest rate. That playbook alone should get Brock Wright, who was already playing 35+ snaps last season, on the field more.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalRole

Wright positioned for volume in Petzing's TE-heavy system; LaPorta's hip injury creates opportunity.

Wright is a long-shot play at 8.3% with upside due to new Lions OC Drew Petzing's heavy tight-end usage. While in Arizona, Petzing ran 2-TE sets at the sixth-highest rate and 3-TE sets at the highest rate in the league. Over the last two seasons, 15 of 33 passes inside the 5-yard line for Petzing's Cardinals went to a tight end. Wright was already playing 35+ snaps last season and should see increased volume. Sam LaPorta is dealing with a hip injury, missed every preseason game, and could be on a snap count early in the season after missing the second half of last year.
