Brandon Pettigrew injury update: Fantasy value just fine with probable status
Brandon Pettigrew is probable for Week 7 against the Bears. We break down the fantasy implications.
Raj Mehta-US PRESSWIRE
Pettigrew has 26 catches for 261 yards and one TD on the season.
Fantasy Impact: There shouldn't be anything to worry about here. Pettigrew is Matt Stafford's second-favorite target behind only Megatron, and will always be a big part of Detroit's offense. He's certainly more reliable than Nate Burleson or Titus Young.
Pettigrew has a tough fantasy matchup against the Bears’ stout defense, but fantasy owners can still slot him in as a low-end TE1. He should be starting in most leagues.
