Chiefs waived K Matthew Wright.

4 months ago

Wright was a serviceable replacement while the Chiefs had multiple kickers on injured reserve in Harrison Butker and Spencer Shrader. He was waived because Butker was activated, but with Shrader still on injured reserve, it wouldn’t be surprising for the Chiefs to re-sign Wright to the practice squad assuming he clears waivers.

Chiefs K Matthew Wright will start in Week 14.

The journeyman kicker made four of his five field goal tries last week in a win against the Raiders and will get at least one more start before Harrison Butker returns from a knee injury that landed him on injured reserve. The Chiefs put K Spencer Shrader on IR this week. Wright is a solid fantasy option with the Chiefs sporting an implied Vegas total of 23.5 points against LA.

Chiefs elevated K Matthew Wright to the active roster for Week 13 against the Raiders.

Wright will kick in place of injured backup K Spencer Shrader (right hamstring). Wright was a reliable extra-point kicker for the Chiefs in 2022 but his leg became a little more erratic in the 30-to-49-yard field goal depths, averaging an 80.0 percent conversion rate. His abilities should be sufficient for K1 streaming viability. The Chiefs are likely to move the ball effortlessly against a Raiders defense missing its top two cornerbacks.

Chiefs signed K Matthew Wright to their practice squad.

With Spencer Shrader not practicing due to a hamstring injury, the Chiefs could turn to Wright as their kicker on Black Friday against the Raiders. Wright went 3-for-3 for the 49ers earlier this year and has a career 86.0 percent success rate on field goals in five seasons.
