Pettigrew had a great boxscore this week for ppr, 8 for 114. My question for anyone who watched the game is: was this a fluke, or something we can expect? He's coming off injury, had a different QB throwing to him and has a rival TE in Scheffler, all things which mean this might just be a one off. But how much of a chance is there that he's breaking out as Detroit's #2/3?

Was Pettigrew a Fluke? (2 Viewers)

i watched this game the guy was just always open - he is benefitting big time by the defense having to be honest with Best in there - as well as having to double calvin - although for the eagles game weren't the lions missing burleson - this stat line might be more a result of that than anything - but this guy seemed like he was always open for first downs- it was crazy - and caught everythingGoldalene said:

It was likely just because I dropped him on Friday to pick up a FA......
BUT interesting question long term...guy was supposed to be a talented receiver coming into the league but obviously hadn't done much - the QB change may have been a big part - often the second string quarterback is used to throwing to TE2 and secondary wideouts....if Hill keeps working with the first team, does he learn to work more with Scheffler or does he keep Pettigrew as one of his favorite targets?

From what I read Burleson was out almost all game and the eagles basically shifted the DB that would have covered him on to Scheffler. Eagles LBs definitely got exposed in a lot of ways this week. Doesn't really seem like the most sustainable set of circumstances. That being said even when Burleson gets back out there it seems like the lions should roll 2 wide 2 TE a lot.

Sheffler played as a slot receive for most of the game.
