The Facts: As he prepared for the 2014 season, Wright had every reason to feel confident about the year ahead. He was coming off his first 1,000-yard campaign, had recorded the fifth-highest reception total in franchise history (94) and had prompted his position coach -- former NFL wideout Shawn Jefferson -- to say Wright was revolutionizing the slot position. A year later, however, Wright finds himself simply trying to work his way back to form. Though Wright caught more touchdown passes (six) last year than ever before, his reception total fell by 37 from 2013, his total yardage by 364 yards, and his first-down catches by more than 47 percent. "I was definitely very surprised by the numbers," Wright said Monday. "I thought they would be way better, way up from (2013). But the only thing that really went up last year was the touchdowns."

Diehards Line:According to Tennessean staffer Jim Wyatt, one of Wright's problems in 2014 was that the offense as a whole was abysmal. The Titans ranked 29th overall on that side of the ball, ranked 29th in time of possession, and ran more than 100 fewer plays than they did in 2013. In other words, Wright's struggles weren't necessarily much different than that of his teammates. Still, one set of numbers seems especially hard to explain: Titans quarterbacks targeted Wright 140 times in 2013 — but just 93 times in 2014. The far lower total last year would seem to suggest Wright was either less of a priority in 2014 or that he didn't get open nearly as often in head coach Ken Whisenhunt's system as he had in his first two seasons. Whisenhunt said last week that he wants Wright to run more precise routes than he has in the past. Wright said that in his first two seasons, he'd done what he thought was best to get open on routes, even if it meant he wasn't getting from Point A to Point B exactly the way a play had been drawn up. "I wouldn't say I was a freelancer, but I was more of a football player," Wright said. He may have liked the old formula better, but as Wright looks to put up big numbers once again in 2015, he sounds like he's willing to keep changing. We'll see if it's enough for him to move back into fantasy relevance.
