Kendall Wright, Nate Washington, Justin Hunter's Post-Week 5 Fantasy Reaction

A trio of Tennessee Titans wideouts erupted for noteworthy fantasy football production against the Cleveland Browns in Week 5. 

With quarterback Jake Locker back under center briefly, and with backup Charlie Whitehurst effective after an injury to the starter, the duo of Kendall Wright, and Justin Hunter were effective in their production, although creative calls from the coaching staff sure did not hurt.   

By halftime, the veteran Nate Washington tallied two receptions on as many targets, while Hunter was able to reel in 3-of-4 targets for a total of 99 yards and a score.

The real eyebrow-raising note of the day came on an outburst from Kendall Wright, who caught three passes on as many targets—two of which turned into touchdowns to help put his team up 28-10 by halftime. He also garnered a rushing attempt, which he took for 38 yards.

The final numbers showcase an offense that, when the staff means to, can get the top-two targets involved regardless of the man under center:

	REC	YDS	TD	TGTS	Fantasy Points
J. Hunter	3	99	1	5	15
N. Washington	4	57	0	7	5
K. Wright	6	47	2	8	20

Mike Clay of Pro Football Focus expanded on what a rare output it was for Wright:

Even more impressive for all included was the fact the Browns entered the day giving up only the ninth-most points to wideouts on the year.

In other words, a strong showing from Wright and Hunter is encouraging and both are worth immediate grabs if available. This is especially the case considering the team's next two opponents are Jacksonville and Washington, teams that both surrender top-10 points totals on average to receivers.

Washington remains a no-go as the No. 3 who seems to continue to fade in the pecking order behind a pair of younger players no matter who lines up under center. The staff seems intent on getting Wright and Hunter more involved, so both are WR2 material with favorable matchups moving forward.
