SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 9 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 9 at Arizona Cardinals

Dante Pettis caught just one pass for five yards last week. He’s been bitterly disappointing this season, and while he still holds some value as a stash option in deep leagues just in case he gets it figured out, he’s far too risky to hold in the majority of formats, let alone start. Pettis is a disappointing player on a team that hasn’t been putting up much in the way of passing stats. It’s time to cut bait on him.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 8 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 8 vs. Carolina Panthers

Dante Pettis saw 92% of the team’s offensive snaps last week against Washington, and while he failed to record a target, it’s a hard game to judge him on given the weather and field conditions. The 49ers only threw the ball 21 times and 12 targets went to running backs and tight ends. Pettis is too risky to have in lineups, and the addition of Emmanuel Sanders this past week via trade doesn’t help his chances for increased looks, but his playing time over the past few games and his talent make him worth stashing in large leagues. This week is a bad matchup, however, even if we knew he’d get targets. The Panthers are fourth in the league in aFPA to opposing wide receivers. Sit him.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 7 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 7 at Washington Redskins

Dante Pettis is quietly coming around. He only had 45 yards on three receptions last week against the Rams, but he was second on the team with six targets and he leads all 49ers’ wide receivers in snaps over the past two games. Pettis’ talent should win out long-term, and he should still be rostered in deep leagues or in situations where fantasy owners have a bench spot to burn. Because of his lack of production, it’s not wise to put Pettis in your lineup just yet, even in what could be a reasonably good matchup against Washington, but keep an eye on him. There could be light at the end of the tunnel.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 6 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 6 at Los Angeles Rams

Dante Pettis only caught one pass for 11 yards on Monday night and was targeted just three times in a blowout victory over the Browns. However, there’s reason for some long-term optimism. He was second among 49ers receivers in snaps and if his playing time continues to grow, he has the big-play ability to produce. He’s still far too risky to have in your lineup at this point, but is worth adding to deeper rosters just in case he turns it around.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 5 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 5 vs. Cleveland Browns

Dante Pettis only had 20 yards against the Steelers before the bye last week, but he caught the game-winning touchdown and hauled in four of the five balls thrown his way. Pettis was dreadful the first two weeks, as he saw only 3% of the snaps in Week 1 and failed to register a target in Week 2. However, he’s been on the field for over 40% of the snaps in his last two games and he’s worth keeping an eye on in deep leagues where you can afford the roster spot.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 2 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 2 at Cincinnati Bengals

Dante Pettis had only one target, which he caught for seven yards against the Buccaneers last week. The more concerning thing was that he was on the field for only two offensive snaps. He was supposedly dealing with a calf issue, but fantasy owners should take a wait-and-see approach with him moving forward after such limited playing time. The offseason negativity surrounding Pettis’ standing in the offense seems so far to have been justified, but it’s too early to drop him if you can stash him at the back end of your roster. I’d leave him on the bench though, even in a nice matchup against the Bengals, and wait a couple of weeks to see if his health and/or snaps get to where we all expected heading into the season.

SF WR Dante Pettis - Week 1 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 1 at Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Dante Pettis had an up-and-down rookie year, finishing with only 27 receptions, but averaging 17.3 yards per catch and scoring five touchdowns. Entering his second season, he’ll be expected to take a big leap to help create space for the offense with his blazing speed. Reports out of training camp were negative throughout the month of August, but there are some who believe it may have been a motivational tactic. He’s listed as a starter heading into Week 1.

Against the Buccaneers, Pettis has some upside. Only the Saints, Jets and Eagles allowed more fantasy points per game to opposing receivers last year. Pettis is risky, as are all the receivers in San Francisco, but he has a lot of upside for gambling owners who are willing to take the risk. We have him as a low-end WR3 option in larger leagues to start the season, and he’s a boom-bust pick.
