Dante Pettis Joining Saints Practice Squad

The New Orleans Saints signed veteran wide receiver Dante Pettis to the practice squad on Tuesday, according to NFL.com. Starting wideouts Chris Olave (concussion) and Rashid Shaheed (knee) are banged up heading into Thursday night's contest against the Denver Broncos, so there's a chance Pettis could be activated to the active roster in Week 7. Pettis, a 2018 second-round pick, has hauled in 71 of his 132 career targets for 984 yards and 12 touchdowns in his NFL career. He last played for the Chicago Bears in 2022, catching 19 passes for 245 yards and three scores. It would be a surprise if Pettis becomes a fantasy-relevant option, but he could see playing time if the New Orleans pass-catching group continues to battle injuries.

Dante Pettis Works Out For The Cowboys

Free-agent wide receiver Dante Pettis visited the Dallas Cowboys on Tuesday with the hopes of landing a new contract. Former Jet Denzel Mims also tried out for Dallas. The Cowboys are looking to bolster their wide receiver depth with Brandin Cooks (knee) on Injured Reserve and set to miss at least three more games. Pettis spent training camp with the Chicago Bears this summer but failed to make the final roster. He last appeared in a regular season game in 2022, catching 19 passes for 245 yards with the Bears. Even if Dallas signs one of these receivers, they won't be on the fantasy football radar in any format.

Dante Pettis Climbing The Depth Chart?

According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis could have already locked up a spot on the depth chart. "It wasn't just the two touchdowns he caught against the Bengals, It's how he has been used in practice." said Biggs during his recent column. "Pettis offers a sure-handed option as a punt returner and might be the fifth receiver. He certainly helped himself Saturday." The 28-year-old last played in 2022, where he recorded 19 catches for 245 yards and three touchdowns in 17 games with Chicago. While Pettis likely won't see more attention than DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, or Rome Odunze, he's someone to watch in case one of those guys gets injured during the 2024-25 campaign. However, he'll need to keep climbing the depth chart heading into Week 1.

Dante Pettis Catches Two Touchdowns In Preseason Win

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis played just 12 snaps in the team's 27-3 preseason win over the Bengals but made them count, catching all three of his targets for 53 yards and two touchdowns, including a 25-yard touchdown grab from Tyson Bagent. Behind receivers DJ Moore, Keenan Allen, and Rome Odunze, Pettis is vying to be the primary backup. The offseason acquisitions and the switch to offensive coordinator Shane Waldron suggest more three-receiver sets this year, which could elevate the role of the fourth receiver. Pettis has one final opportunity Thursday at Kansas City to secure his spot before the team's season opener on September 8 against the Titans.

Dante Pettis Signing One-Year Deal With Bears

Veteran free-agent wide receiver Dante Pettis is signing a one-year deal with the Chicago Bears, according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The 2018 second-round pick last played in 2022 with Chicago, and he was released during last year's training camp with an injury settlement. Pettis has hauled in just 71 passes for 984 yards and 12 touchdowns through his first 50 regular season games. He's unlikely to be on the fantasy radar in 2024, especially since the Bears now have one of the best wide receiver duos in the NFL in DJ Moore and Keenan Allen.

Dante Pettis Cleared To Return

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis (undisclosed) was removed from the non-football injury list on Wednesday. The veteran hasn't participated in training camp because of an undisclosed injury. However, with DJ Moore, Chase Claypool, and Darnell Mooney (ankle) expected to serve as Justin Fields' top targets, Pettis may see most of his work as a punt returner this season. If anything, his availability isn't good news for guys like Velus Jones Jr., who is battling for a spot on the roster.

Dante Pettis Signs One-Year Deal With Bears

The Chicago Bears re-signed wide receiver Dante Pettis to a one-year deal on Monday. The 27-year-old caught 19 passes for 245 yards and three touchdowns last season, his first year in Chicago, before hitting the free-agent market. Pettis has not lived up to expectations since being taken by the San Francisco 49ers in the second round of the 2018 NFL draft. While he set the all-time NCAA record for most punt-return touchdowns, he has yet to score a special teams touchdown in the NFL. His speed could work well in the Bears offense, and quarterback Justin Fields has hit him deep for some big plays when he does get open, but he has been inconsistent.

Dante Pettis Returns To Practice Wednesday

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis (head) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He was forced out of last Sunday's loss against the Lions with blurred vision and was evaluated for a concussion. The 27-year-old cleared protocols and avoided a concussion. Pettis failed to catch his lone target before exiting in Week 17. After logging a full practice Wednesday, he is trending in the right direction towards suiting up for Week 18 versus the Vikings. Bears quarterback Justin Fields (hip) was ruled out for Week 18, and Nathan Peterman will draw the start against Minnesota. Pettis has caught two passes per game once in the last seven weeks and remains off the fantasy radar, especially with Peterman under center for Week 18.

Dante Pettis Does Not Return In Week 17

Chicago Bears wide receiver Dante Pettis (head) didn't return to Sunday's trouncing by the Lions. The veteran entered this one with an injury designation because of an ankle issue. However, he was forced to exit for a concussion evaluation. Although everything checked out, Pettis was taken to the hospital as a precaution. He would finish without catching his only target. With the Bears season unofficially over, it's possible Pettis won't be back on the field for the rest of the 2022-23 campaign.

Chase Claypool, Dante Pettis Active On Sunday

Chicago Bears wide receivers Chase Claypool (knee) and Dante Pettis (ankle) are both officially active on New Year's Day to face the Detroit Lions in Week 17. Claypool will be on the field for the first time since Week 13, and it remains to be seen if he'll see his normal workload on offense. During the team's bye in Week 13, the Bears coaching staff admitted that Claypool was still learning the offense after a midseason trade from the Pittsburgh Steelers. In his five games with the team, he has only 12 receptions on 22 targets for 111 yards and no touchdowns. The Bears want Claypool to become a big part of the passing attack, but that may not happen until 2023. Trusting any Chicago receivers with a fantasy championship on the line is a fool's errand, even against a suspect Lions defense.
