49ers couldn't trade WR Dante Pettis, release him

Nov 03, 2020

Dante Pettis’ up and down — but mostly down — tenure with the 49ers is over.

After failing to move the receiver before Tuesday’s 1 p.m. PT trade deadline, the team waived him instead. Pettis’ most prominent play of the season occurred Sunday when he fumbled away a kickoff after a hard tackle in the third quarter. The Seahawks converted the turnover into a touchdown, which put them up 27-7 in their eventual 37-27 victory.

Fantasy Impact:

Per The Athletic’s David Lombardi, releasing Pettis saves the 49ers roughly $500,000 against the salary cap this season, and they’re now off the hook for $1.36 million next year.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
