Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew is seeking to get back in the end zone heading into Week 10 against the Bears in Chicago.
Pettigrew caught his first touchdown of the season in Week 7 against the Bengals, but was unable to follow that up against the Cowboys in Week 8, as he only caught three of the six passes thrown in his direction for 31 yards. Fresh off a bye week, Pettigrew will face a Bears defense that has allowed 100-plus yards to tight ends in two of the past four games. Opposing tight ends have only scored twice all season against the Bears and have averaged 8.25 Fantasy points per game against them.
This may not be the best of matchups for Pettigrew, but he could be worth the look as a possible bye week replacement option. The problem is that the Lions may roll out with a few two-tight end sets in the red zone, which would also give Joseph Fauria a chance to score. Our Fantasy experts have him ranked as high as 12th and as low as 22nd. Consider him a low-end option for Week 10.
