Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew's scoring slump has extended to eight games dating back to last season. He will look to snap his scoring drought Week 7 vs. Cincinnati.
Tight ends have totaled three touchdowns in six games against Cincinnati. They also averaging 6.7 Fantasy points per week, which is tied for the 12th-lowest average in the NFL. Tight ends average 45.3 receiving yards per game against Cincinnati, which is the ninth-lowest average in the league.
Pettigrew is averaging a career-low 31.2 receiving yards per game this season. The emergence of Joseph Fauria has cut into Pettigrew's production, especially in the red zone. The Lions laud Pettigrew for his blocking skills, which keeps him in the starting lineup, but that clearly isn't going to help Fantasy owners. Pettigrew is at best a No. 2 Fantasy tight end Week 7.
