DANTE PETTIS NEWS

Contending with ankle issue Pettis was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury.

Impact After catching his first touchdown pass since Oct. 13 this past weekend against Buffalo, Pettis is tending to an injury in advance of this Sunday's matchup with Detroit. The 27-year-old will have two more chances to ramp back up to full speed in practice before the Bears decide whether he carries an injury designation into the weekend.

Scores touchdown in losing effort Pettis caught two passes for 11 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 35-13 loss to the Bills on Sunday.

Impact Pettis hasn't recorded 20 yards in any of his last nine games, and his lack of production will make him difficult to trust in Week 17 lineups.

Targeted four times in defeat Pettis recorded a 13-yard reception in the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.

Impact Aside from a 84-yard performance in Week 6, Pettis has failed to reach 20 yards in every game since Week 1. His current role in the offense makes him an unreliable fantasy option.

Targeted twice in defeat Pettis caught one pass for 14 yards in the Bears' 28-19 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Pettis has caught one or fewer pass in all but two games this season, and unless his role changes, he won't be a reliable fantasy option.

No injury designation Pettis (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Pettis was unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday due to an illness, but he practiced in a full capacity Friday and is good to go for Week 13. Over the last four games, he's secured three of four targets for 33 yards while rushing once for eight yards.

Still sitting out practice Pettis (illness) was a non-participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Pettis has now missed both of the Bears' first two practices and will now have one more chance Friday to potentially move past the illness and get in some on-field reps before Sunday's game against the Packers. If Pettis fails to practice Friday, he'll likely carry a designation into the weekend, if he isn't ruled out for the contest entirely.

Sits out practice with illness Pettis didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

Impact Pettis will have two more chances to get back on the practice field before the Bears decide whether he'll carry a designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. While working with second-string quarterback Trevor Siemian -- who sat out Wednesday's practice with an oblique injury -- in the Bears' Week 12 loss to the Jets, Pettis played 22 snaps on offense and finished with one reception for 12 yards on two targets. Pettis and the Chicago offense could get Justin Fields (shoulder) back from a one-game absence this weekend, as the Bears' starting signal-caller opened Week 13 prep as a limited participant.

Targeted twice in defeat Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 31-10 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Impact Pettis has surpassed 18 yards once over his last 11 games, and he's been targeted just four times over his last four games. Unless he sees an increase in targets, he'll continue to have a low weekly scoring floor.

NOVEMBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Handles two touches in defeat Pettis caught one pass for nine yards and rushed once for eight yards in the Bears' 31-30 loss to the Lions on Sunday.

Impact Pettis has exactly one target in three of Chicago's last four games, and he hasn't surpassed 18 scrimmage yards in any of his last three contests. With 125 receiving yards since Week 2, his lack of upside compared to his low-scoring floor makes him hard to rely on when setting fantasy lineups.

Targeted once in defeat Pettis caught one pass for 12 yards in the Bears' 35-32 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.

Impact After being targeted 13 times over Chicago's last three games, the team acquired Chase Claypool, and Pettis was barely involved in the offense against Miami. Even when Pettis was seeing targets, he had been held to fewer than three yards in five of eight games. It'll be difficult to trust him in fantasy lineups as long as he's outside the Bears' top-two receivers in a low-volume passing attack.

Leads team in targets Pettis caught four passes for 18 yards In the Bears' 49-29 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday.

Impact Pettis is averaging 22 yards per game, but he's had between zero and two yards in five of eight games. His low scoring floor makes him a risky option when setting weekly fantasy lineups.

Slight usage in victory Pettis caught one pass for two yards while adding a 29-yard run in the Bears' 33-14 win over the Patriots on Monday.

Impact Coming off an 84-yard performance against Washington, Pettis was a minor part of the offense against the Patriots. He's posted two or fewer receiving yards in five of his last six games, and he won't be a reliable fantasy option unless his role in the offense becomes more consistent.

Makes highlight-reel catch in loss Pettis secured four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.

Impact Pettis made the Bears' only touchdown of the night memorable with a pretty over-the-shoulder 40-yard catch midway through the third quarter. The 26-year-old led the team in receiving yards as well while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets. Pettis hadn't recorded any statistics over 93 snaps and 51 routes run since scoring a 51-yard touchdown on his only catch in Week 1, so it remains to be seen if Thursday's semi-breakout effort has any carryover into a Week 7 Monday night road interconference matchup against the Patriots on Oct. 24.
