Jericho 507 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I feel there's good value here. Someone has to catch balls on San Francisco. We know Shanahan loves to throw the ball. Kittle is solid, but I just don't see him quite repeating his 2018. And even if Kittle does, some WR should have value. Goodwin's not bad, but don't feel he's that good either. He's 29 and had one season over 500 yards. We know what he is. Everyone else is a bit of an unknown, but I like Pettis' chances over a slew of unproven rookies 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CooL 3,269 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 What happened to this dude today? Only 1 target for 7 yards? Meanwhile Kittle soaks up 10 of Jimmy’s 27 passes? I’m afraid no pass catcher except Kittle is worthy of a roster spot. Utterly useless. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Singing in Dwayne 313 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Unstartable right now, but I wouldn't drop him yet either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SharkSwimmer 4,986 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 2 snaps and he was targeted on one of them. Interesting... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dennymac 6 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Before I drop him, just out of curiosity, what exactly was the hype based on? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I believe over the last 8 games to finish the season, he was a top 11 receiver. With Cj Bethard at QB. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

grimsfield 922 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 "He had health issues," Shanahan told reporters after the game. "That's why he missed a week of practice. He just got cleared to come back on Monday, so he was a little behind the 8 ball on that. But he didn't start the game, and we didn't have a ton of long drives where we got into the substitution flow."He went into this game backing up, and when he did go in there, from everything I saw live, he did a hell of a job. So hopefully, he'll work off that and continue to earn some more time out there." https://www.49erswebzone.com/articles/128046-shanahan-explains-dante-pettis-limited-playing-49ers-buccaneers/ This seems really dumb to me, but what do I know. I would just think you should put your best guys on the field. And I had thought Pettis was legitimately their best WR. Now Shanahan is saying he needs "to earn some more time out there". All I can say is wtf. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SharkSwimmer 4,986 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Also it was a really weird game. Two defensive TDs? Shanahan is basically saying this was Pettis's preseason warmup game. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mmm sod 182 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Did he start? Is there a way to see who the actual starters are before the game? Or is that not public info like NBA? Some kind of warning would have been nice... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NyZD 148 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) Yeah I agree.. Jimmy G had 166 yards passing and as you said the two defensive TD's so I don't think we can take anything definitive from this game in regards to the San Fran receiving core in general aside from Kittle being the only sure fire stud.. Does anyone know the snap breakdown of the other WR's? Next week should have a more normal game flow I would hope so we can decipher this situation..

Usually you wanna catch a blurb about it right before start on Rotoworld or one of the pre-game shows or Twitter, but it's not always announced for lesser known players like this one 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There was a Rotoworld blurb about him still being #1 on the depth chart about a week ago, so only two snaps was a surprise. (To think I almost considered running him out there over Fitzgerald! Lol) I’m not sure what’s up between him and Shanahan, and I just don’t think Shanahan is as good of a coach as he gets credit for, and the Niners offense doesn’t look very good. Kittle is the only bankable player in that offense. Jimmy G has been meh, and now Coleman and Breida are injured/dehydrated. To me Pettis is an easy drop in all but the deepest of leagues until he shows us something. Edited September 9, 2019 by kraftwrk_5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With all of the people writing about fantasy, you'd think the 'WR1' on a 'shoot-out' game not starting would get mentioned. That's why I was wondering if there is something official so you don't have to count on Roto giving a s--- about the player.

They posted that unofficial depth chart as a front page headline and then never mentioned he wasn't warming up with the starters. Wish they would not say anything if they aren't going to follow with their reporting. through near gametime. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FrancoJavierM 309 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I didn't see him at all in the game - probably like two snaps and that's it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dorwell 418 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Two snaps is correct. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dicka24 451 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Pretty annoyed that he was hurt going in and only got 2 snaps. I had to sit AB and my reserve choices were Pettis or Crowder and I went with Pettis since he was playing vs TB and the game figured to be a shootout. Oh well. I think he'll be relevant at some point this season but he's droppable if there's a guy on waivers that you think has the goods for the season. No one is going to pick up Pettis if you let him go. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I like Crowder there. Should be a target monster. Also, Pettis coming off an injury. He might be limited on opening day. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
