Dante Pettis (WR, SF) - Week 2 Waiver Wire Pickups

BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 1% of Leagues

ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Dante Pettis being a good waiver wire pickup or not is going to depend on the health of Marquise Goodwin. As of Monday night, we still have not heard if Goodwin could miss any time and what injury he sustained. If Goodwin is missing an extended period, then Pettis would move to the section above. He didn’t have the volume in Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings, but he did have the big play.

Pettis was able to haul in two of his five targets for 61 yards and a touchdown against the Vikings and would certainly become the deep threat for the Vikings without Goodwin. Pierre Garcon would get the biggest bump in production as the senior pass catcher on the team, but Pettis would always be one big play away from at least WR3 production. If you play in a league that rewards big plays, I would be willing to spend a little extra on him. Again, this all depends on Goodwin. Keep an eye on that news before pulling the trigger.
