Matthew Wright Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (knee) was limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. We’re not expecting Butker to make it back for this one but will keep you posted on his status. Matthew Wright will kick again for Kansas City if Butker doesn’t.

Chiefs K Spencer Schrader (hamstring) is out for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. He'll be replaced by K Matthew Wright, who's a viable Week 13 fantasy play with the Chiefs sporting the week's second-highest implied total (27.75 points).

Chiefs K Spencer Shrader (hamstring) did not practice on Tuesday. The team signed K Matthew Wright to the practice squad, suggesting real concern about Shrader's availability for Friday's game vs. the Raiders. We'll keep you updated on the situation. With Kansas City sporting a 27.5-point implied total, whoever is kicking for the Chiefs will be a viable Week 13 fantasy play.

49ers Ks Jake Moody (ankle) and Matthew Wright (shoulder, back) are out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. San Francisco figures to elevate former Packer Anders Carlson from the practice squad to kick against Kansas City. Carlson made 82% of his FGs and 87% of his XPs for Green Bay last year.

49ers K Jake Moody (ankle) is out for Thursday night's game vs. the Seahawks. Matthew Wright, who owns a career 85% FG conversion rate, will kick in Moody's place. With the Niners holding the week's third-highest implied total at 26.5 points, Wright is a fine replacement for Moody in fantasy lineups.

The 49ers signed K Matthew Wright. He's insurance for rookie K Jake Moody, who's dealing with a quad injury. Avoid this situation in remaining fantasy drafts and Week 1 lineups.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (back) is listed as questionable for Week 18 vs. the Raiders. The team worked out K Matthew Wright on Thursday, a player who filled in for the injured Butker earlier in the season. It's possible that Wright will get another opportunity on Saturday if Butker is ultimately ruled out. We'll let you know if anything definitive occurs.

The Steelers have activated K Chris Boswell from IR and released K Matthew Wright. Take note if you’re starting a Steelers kicker vs. the Ravens

Steelers K Chris Boswell (groin) has been designated to return from IR. We'll see if he's activated for Sunday's game vs. the Ravens, but you shouldn't be messing with Pittsburgh's kicker in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

7:14pm EST 11/10/22

The Steelers placed K Chris Boswell (groin) on IR, knocking him out for at least the next 4 games. He'll be replaced by K Matthew Wright at least for Sunday's game vs. the Saints. Look elsewhere for your fantasy lineups.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Raiders. Matthew Wright will kick again for Kansas City and is a fine fantasy football spot start.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) has yet to practice this week. He looks unlikely to kick vs. the Raiders on Monday night. Those duties will again fall to Matthew Wright.

Chiefs K Harrison Butker (ankle) did not practice on Thursday. Fantasy owners can't be banking on him playing vs. the Raiders on Monday night. Matthew Wright will again kick for Kansas City if Butker is out.

The Jaguars have waived K Matthew Wright. He made 21 of 24 FGs last year and drilled 13 of 15 extra points. For now, Ryan Santoso is the only veteran kicker remaining on Jacksonville’s roster. Iowa State's Andrew Mevis joined the club as a UDFA last month.
