Dante Pettis Status
rotoWire
Pettis caught two passes for 19 yards in the Bears' 29-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 18, and ended the season with 19 receptions, 245 yards and three touchdowns over 17 games played.
What it means:
Pettis was available for more than 12 games for the first time in his five-year career, but he was a depth receiver, which led to him seeing slightly more than two targets per game. Although he had a pair of games with at least 51 yards and a touchdown, he was held to fewer than 15 yards in most of his games. After staying healthy and reasonably reliable, he should continue to serve as a depth option next year and beyond. He's now an unrestricted free agent.
rotoWire
Pettis (head) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
What it means:
Pettis briefly checked into a hospital following Sunday's loss to the Lions with blurred vision, but he was able to fly back to Chicago later that night and appears to have avoided a significant issue. Barring a setback, Pettis should be full go heading into Chicago's season finale.
rotoWire
Pettis returned to Chicago on a separate flight Sunday night after briefly checking into a hospital with blurred vision, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
What it means:
Pettis failed to catch his lone target during Sunday's loss to the Lions and played a season-low 14 snaps. He was taken to a hospital following the game, but he cleared concussion protocol and was able to fly home Sunday night. However, it's unclear if the fifth-year wideout will be able to practice during Week 18 prep.
rotoWire
Pettis failed to catch his lone target in the Bears' 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
What it means:
Pettis has surpassed 20 yards once since Week 1, though he has scored four touchdowns this season. He'll be considered a touchdown-dependent dart throw for fantasy in Week 18 against Minnesota.
rotoWire
Pettis entered the leagues concussion protocols and was sent to the hospital for precautionary reasons, after he was dealing with blurred vision, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
What it means:
Pettis was able to clear the leagues concussion protocols, despite him dealing with blurred vision. He was held without a catch and received one target in the team's 41-10 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
rotoWire
Pettis (ankle) is active Sunday against the Lions.
What it means:
Pettis injured his ankle in practice Wednesday, but after he was able to log a limited practice Friday, he's good to go Week 17 against Detroit. His ability to suit up should bolster the Bears' depth at receiver.
