Scouting report

CHI WR Dante Pettis - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 at Detroit Lions

Dante Pettis led Bears WRs in targets last week with five, and scored the team's only touchdown. But he also finished with just two catches for 11 yards. Pettis has seen increased playing time with Chase Claypool out, but he hasn't done a whole lot to warrant interest in fantasy. He'd be an extremely desperate play in Week 17 despite a favorable matchup vs. the Lions (30th aFPA).

CHI WR Dante Pettis - Week 16 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 16 vs. Buffalo Bills

Dante Pettis led all Bears wide receivers in targets last week with four. But he only came away with one catch for 13 yards. The Bears are without Darnell Mooney (IR) and possibly Chase Claypool (knee) again, which technically creates some more opportunities. But the Bears pretty much just spread the ball around with all of their terrible wide receivers last week. We'd avoid this WR room completely for Week 16 against the Bills.

CHI WR Dante Pettis - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at New England Patriots

After four straight games with no receptions, Dante Pettis came out of nowhere with a 4-84-1 stat line last week on a season-high seven targets. Coming into the game, Pettis had six total targets on the season. Despite having four games without a single catch, Pettis is somehow second on the team in receiving yards and is the only Bears player with multiple receiving touchdowns. It was a nice game from Pettis, but we'll need to see more of it before he becomes a viable option in fantasy. We'd avoid him in Week 7.

CHI WR Dante Pettis - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Green Bay Packers

Dante Pettis finished with 51 yards and a touchdown in Week 1. That sounds nice, but it was also his only target of the game. And it came on a broken play that looked like it was more fluke than talent. Pettis only played on 40% of the offensive snaps, so it's unlikely he's involved enough to be relevant in fantasy. He can be avoided in Week 2.

NYG WR Dante Pettis - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 at Kansas City Chiefs

Look, I don’t like this any more than you do, but Dante Pettis has 16 targets in two games and scored a touchdown last week against the Panthers. He probably still stinks, but if Sterling Shepard is another late scratch and Kenny Golladay and Kadarius Toney remain out – as expected – then Pettis could be in line for significant targets against a Chiefs defense that ranks 24th in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. He’s a long shot, but if you’re desperate and Shepard is out, consider plugging in Pettis as a boom-or-bust desperation play.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 11 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 11 vs. Arizona Cardinals

Dante Pettis was targeted three times last week but failed to catch a ball. Aside from a couple of random touchdowns, Pettis has been largely an afterthought in a disappointing season. Until he starts producing regularly, he’s safe to drop in the vast majority of leagues.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 10 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 10 vs. Seattle Seahawks

Dante Pettis caught a 21-yard touchdown last week against the Cardinals, but fantasy owners shouldn’t get too excited just yet. While he remains a player with long-term upside, it was his only target on the day and he has played just 30% of the team’s offensive snaps since the 49ers traded for Emmanuel Sanders two weeks ago. Pettis is worth stashing in deep dynasty formats, but he’s droppable in most redraft leagues.
