News: The Panthers placed WR Wallace Wright on the IR Tuesday with a shoulder injury.
Analysis: Wright is a nice special teams guy for Carolina but wouldn't have seen enough snaps at wide receiver to be worth worrying about in Fantasy play.
News: Panthers WR Wallace Wright is viewed as a very good special teams player, but he hopes to work more at receiver this year. "That's my goal," Wright said Friday. "I got into the league playing special teams, and I excelled at it in New York. They brought me in here to work on special teams but also to help on offense." That said, the best Wright can hope for is being the fourth or fifth receiver on the roster. He is currently behind Steve Smith, Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards on the depth chart.
Analysis: Keep an eye on how Wright does during training camp, but don't expect him to do much this year. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.
News: The Panthers added WR Wallace Wright this offseason for his special teams ability, but he's turned some heads with some nice catches this week in practice and shown good speed. That said, the best Wright can hope for is being the fourth or fifth receiver on the roster. He is currently behind Steve Smith, Dwayne Jarrett, Brandon LaFell and Armanti Edwards on the depth chart.
Analysis: Keep an eye on how Wright does during training camp, but don't expect him to do much this year. Ignore him in all leagues on Draft Day.
News: Carolina coach John Fox said in an interview with CBSSports.com at the NFL owner's meeting in Orlando, Fla., that the Panthers will continue to search for a WR to play opposite Steve Smith. Muhsin Muhammad is a free agent and is not expected to return, and Fox said the candidates to replace him are Dwayne Jarrett, Kenny Moore, Charly Martin and Wallace Wright. Moore and Martin signed their one-year tender offers as restricted free agents. "We've been in somewhat of a search for about eight years for that spot," Fox said. "It's all hands on deck. We've got some young guys there. Those players will answer that when we start OTAs and mini-camps and practices."
Analysis: Although it's unlikely, Fox wouldn't rule out a return by Muhammad. "Moose has been great for this organization," he said. "I've always appreciated him as a player and as a guy in the locker room. It's hard to predict how that's going to turn out, but he's done a lot of good things for us." As for Jarrett, Moore, Martin and Wright, they have minimal Fantasy value even if one emerges during training camp. The starter would be worth a late-round pick in deep leagues.
News: The Panthers inked receiver Wallace Wright, who was mostly a special teams player the past four seasons with the Jets. Wright grew up in Fayetteville, N.C., and started as a walk-on at North Carolina. He had just eight catches for 108 yards in his career with the Jets, but has 73 special teams tackles in 53 games.
Analysis: Expect Wright to continue working on special teams. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters.
News:Ben Hartsock, Wallace Wright and Matthew Mulligan all failed to record a stat on Sunday in a Week 17 win over the Bengals.

News: Jets WR Wallace Wright, TE Matthew Mulligan, TE Ben Hartsock, TE James Dearth and QB Kellen Clemens all dressed but failed to record an offensive stat in Week 16 against the Colts.
Analysis: Most of these players are reserves for the Jets or contribute on special teams. They don't have a reliable role on offense. Make sure to keep these players out of Fantasy lineups heading into Week 17. The Jets play the Bengals.
News: Jets RB Tony Richardson, WR Wallace Wright, TE Matthew Mulligan, TE Ben Hartsock, TE James Dearth and QB Eric Ainge all dressed for New York's Week 15 loss to the Falcons but failed to record an offensive stat.
Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 16 at Indianapolis.
News: Jets TE Ben Hartsock started the Week 14 win over the Bucs but did not stat in the game. Also not picking up stats in the game: WR Wallace Wright, FB Tony Richardson and TE James Dearth.
Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers.

News: The Jets had six players dress but fail to record an offensive stat Sunday with WR David Clowney, WR Wallace Wright, TE James Dearth, TE Ben Hartsock, FB Tony Richardson and WR Brad Smith.
Analysis: None of these players are worth using in Week 13 at Buffalo. They have minimal Fantasy vale in the majority of formats.
News: Jets QB Kellen Clemens, WR Wallace Wright, WR Danny Woodhead, TE James Dearth and TE Ben Hartsock all dressed in Week 11 against the Patriots but failed to record an offensive stat.
Analysis: Most of these players are either reserves or special teams contributors for the Jets. They hardly make a dent in Fantasy on a regular basis. It's safe to keep them out of Fantasy lineups heading into Week 12 against the Panthers.
News: Jets QB Kellen Clemens, WR Wallace Wright, WR Danny Woodhead, TE James Dearth and TE Ben Hartsock all dressed in Week 11 against the Patriots but failed to record an offensive stat.

News: Jets WR Wallace Wright had two catches for 21 yards during a Week 7 win against the Raiders. He was targeted just twice and his longest catch went for 14 yards. Wright came into the game with no catches on the season.
Analysis: Wright was actually involved on offense in Week 7 because of injuries to Brad Smith and Jerricho Cotchery. Usually, Wright either contributes on special teams or watches from the sidelines. He still has no Fantasy value heading into Week 8 against the Dolphins.
News: Jets WR David Clowney, WR Wallace Wright, RB Danny Woodhead, TE Ben Hartsock, TE James Dearth and QB Kellen Clemens didn't record offensive statistics against the Bills in Week 6.
Analysis: Clowney had a decent performance with Jerricho Cotchery out last week, but the Jets' passing game struggled too much for him to make an impact this week. He might deserve a look in deeper leagues for Week 7 at Oakland, but Cotchery might return by then. None of these other players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy.
News: The Newark Star-Ledger reports that Jets WR Jerricho Cotchery will miss Week 6 vs. Buffalo with a hamstring injury. He reportedly aggravated the injury while playing at Miami last week. Teammate Brad Smith (foot) might also miss the game, giving David Clowney and Wallace Wright the chance to see significant playing time against the Bills, and possibly giving RB Danny Woodhead the chance to play as a receiver.
Analysis: With Cotchery out, we like Clowney to step up and see a healthy dose of reps. He's definitely worth adding since he's good at catching the deep ball and has a little bulk to him. Consider him a low-end No. 3 option this week but a guy who could develop into someone who could post decent totals so long as Cotchery is sidelined.
News: Jets WR Jerricho Cotchery missed a second straight day of practice Thursday because of a hamstring injury and was uncertain whether he'll be ready to play against Buffalo. "It doesn't look real good," coach Rex Ryan said. "We'll see how he is." Cotchery was injured in practice last Thursday and sat out two days before playing Monday night at Miami. "We're taking the same program we took last week," Cotchery said. "We're just trying to treat it hard everyday and put in those long hours everyday to make sure we're taking care of this thing." WR Brad Smith (quadriceps) also didn't practice for the second consecutive day. If both Cotchery and Smith can't go, David Clowney and Wallace Wright would see increased time. The Jets also might add a new wrinkle, with RB Danny Woodhead working at wide receiver during practice Thursday. Woodhead is currently on the practice squad and imitates opponents' top running backs and receivers on the scout team.
Analysis: Keep an eye on Cotchery and see if he can play against the Bills. He should be considered a No. 3 Fantasy WR if he's able to play. Smith has minimal Fantasy value when healthy, and Clowney, Wright and Woodhead should not be used in any leagues.
News: New York Jets TE Ben Hartsock got the start on Monday night in a loss at Miami in Week 5. He did not make any catches or pick up any stats in the game. The following players played but had no stats: WR Wallace Wright, FB Tony Richardson and TE James Dearth. Backup QB Kellen Clemens did not play.
Analysis: None of these players ever contributes enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 6 against Buffalo.
News:James Dearth, Shonn Greene and Wallace Wright all failed to record a stat Week 3 in a 24-17 win over the Titans.
Analysis: Greene is a rookie that is expected to eventually contribute at some point but is only worth owning in long-term keeper formats at this point. Dearth and Wright are not worth owning in Fantasy play.
News: Jets FB Tony Richardson, WR Wallace Wright, TE Brian Hartsock, TE James Dearth, WR David Clowney, QB Kellen Clemens and RB Shone Green all dressed for a Week 2 win over the Patriots, but didn't record a stat.
Analysis: Clowney, Greene and maybe even Clemens have some Fantasy value, but all are stuck in backup spots right now. Do not start any of these guys in Week 3 vs. Tennessee.
News: The following Jets players did not record an offensive statistic in Week 1 at Houston: QB Kellen Clemens, WR Wallace Wright and TE James Dearth.
Analysis: None of the players on this list have any real Fantasy appeal. Leave them on the waiver wire until further notice.
News: TE Bubba Franks, WR Wallace Wright, WR David Clowney, TE James Dearth and QB Kellen Clemens failed to record a stat Week 16 at Seattle.
Analysis: None of these players have any real worth in Fantasy and should be ignored. Continue leaving them on waivers for Week 17.
News: Jets WR Chansi Stuckey did not make any grabs in Week 15's win over the Bills. Stuckey joined TE James Dearth, WR Wallace Wright, TE Bubba Franks and backup QB Kellen Clemens as players who were active without picking up stats.
Analysis: Stuckey is really just a third receiver for the Jets and doesn't deserve so much attention in Fantasy. The others mentioned above have even less value and none should be active for Week 16 at Seattle.

Analysis: None of these players ever does enough statistically to matter in Fantasy. Leave them all on waivers for Week 13 against Denver.
News: The following Jets players were active for Week 11's game against the Patriots on Thursday night but did not pick up any stats: RB Tony Richardson, WR Wallace Wright, TE James Dearth and QB Kellen Clemens.
Analysis: Richardson is an impressive veteran blocker and will help pave the way for RBs like Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, but he's not going to produce a lot of stats. Keep him off of Fantasy rosters heading into Week 12 at Tennessee. The same goes for the rest of the players on the list mentioned above.
News: The following Jets were not helpful in Week 10's 47-3 win over the Rams since they played but did not record any stats for Fantasy purposes: FB Tony Richardson, WR Wallace Wright, WR Chansi Stuckey, TE James Dearth and TE Chris Baker.
Analysis: Richardson is an impressive veteran blocker and will help pave the way for RBs like Thomas Jones and Leon Washington, but he's not going to produce a lot of stats.

News: The following Jets played in Week 9's win over the Bills but did not record any statistics: WR Wallace Wright, WR Chansi Stuckey and TE James Dearth.
Analysis: Stuckey is really just a third receiver for the Jets and doesn't deserve so much attention in Fantasy. Reserve him for Week 10 against the Rams. Neither of the other two players has any Fantasy value.

News: Jets WR Wallace Wright, TE Jason Pociask and TE James Dearth all dressed, but failed to record an offensive stat Week 16 at Tennessee.

News: Jets QB Chad Pennington, WR Wallace Wright, WR Chris Davis, TE Joe Kowalewski, TE Jason Pociask and TE James Dearth didn't record statistics Week 12 at Dallas.
Analysis: None of these players produces the kind of stats necessary for Fantasy consideration -- not even Pennington now that he's lost his starting job to Kellen Clemens. Keep all on waivers for Week 13 at Miami.
News: Jets WR Wallace Wright, TE James Dearth and QB Chad Pennington all dressed, but failed to record an offensive stat Week 11 against the Steelers.

News: Wallace Wright (thigh) was able to play in Week 16 at Miami, but he did not record any offensive statistics.

News: The Jets' weekly laundry list of nicked up players include: FB B.J. Askew (foot), CB David Barrett (hip), WR Laveranues Coles (back), RB Cedric Houston (calf), LB Anthony Schlegel (illness), DB Eric Smith (foot), RB Kevan Barlow (calf), LB Matt Chatham (foot), WR Justin McCareins (foot), DL Rashad Moore (hand), QB Chad Pennington (calf), DE/LB Bryan Thomas (shoulder), DB Jamie Thompson (ankle) and WR Wallace Wright (thigh). Askew, Barrett, Coles, Houston, Schlegel and Smith are questionable and did not practice on Wednesday; the rest of the gang did practice on Wednesday and are listed as probable.

News: New York Jets wide receiver Tim Dwight was placed on injured reserve Saturday, ending his season because of a foot injury. WR Wallace Wright was activated from the practice squad to fill the roster spot.
Analysis: Wright signed as a rookie free agent in May after four seasons with North Carolina, serving primarily as a kick returner. He was waived before the season after spending training camp with the Jets, but was signed to the practice squad Sept 6. He is not worth adding to Fantasy rosters at this time.

Analysis: None of these players is expected to make an impact in Fantasy 2006. Ignore them.
News: The Jets have claimed TE Zach Hilton off waivers from New Orleans and DL Rashad Moore from Oakland. To make room for them, the team waived WR Wallace Wright and DT Titus Adams.
Analysis: Hilton, who was a sleeper at the outset of training camp, could evolve into a fine pass-catching option for Chad Pennington and is worth holding on to as a No. 2 Fantasy TE. The rest of the players involved shouldn't be a part of Fantasy Football.
