Drafted him late in my dynasty start up. Guess I'll hold to see if he lands elsewhere.

He just needs to leave San Francisco. I'm not saying he's going to ball out anywhere else, but his opportunities seem very limited as a Niner. There's a lot of competition, he was in the doghouse and doesn't seem to be a "Kyle Shanahan" guy. Now with the injuries murking things up maybe he'll get an opportunity to flash again, but he really could use a fresh start.

Have him run routes while the all coaches throw 2 pound medicine balls at him. If he manages to stay upright and doesn't fall down once, that means he's starting to understand Kyle's scheme. If he falls down he only gets 10 snaps the next game.
The talent is still there, but he probably needs to leave SF to see the field significantly. Will he even make the roster without showing up to camp with big offseason progress? Reminiscent of Gase with Parker/Drake, Shanny doesn't trust him.

watching him play for the last 2 seasons i've realized he is kind of a big kitty-cat. (and not because he has 9 lives)

He's at best the fourth option on a team that spreads the ball around /before/ Deebo gets back. So in the sense that my grandmother is a possible FF wr3, yes he does have that chance. But in reality - no, not even a FF wr 5.

I'm in your league and have had her stashed for months. Way ahead of you on that. Gotta be quicker.

Good move, she's the most spry 80 year old I know. Not afraid to go over the middle either.

I’m admittedly getting sucked back in. I thought Pettis was the heir to Keenan Allen’s route running crown from his rookie tape. Then last year happened.
Dude can run routes and get open. Whatever happened last year seemed like between the ears or off-field. Shanahan seems very pleased with him. I think he’s better than the alternatives, and the Deebo injury seems worse than they’ve let on (they just signed Jaron Brown and had already brought in JJ Nelson).
If Pettis has earned his starting role back, then I want back on board.

Dante Pettis is he ex who swears they’ve changed, but you know deep down they’re just going to screw you over again

Deebo is fine, he's putting out videos of himself cutting on soft surfaces with his shoes off showing he's ahead of schedule. Sf just needs practice bodies which is what Jaron brown and jj Nelson are.

I'm going to keep beating this drum because people are getting snookered
The SF passing order without Deebo -
1 - Kittle
2a - rb
2b - Aiyuk
4 - Pettis or whoever else
Deebo will be back by week 5 at the latest meaning Pettis will be the 5th option on sf in no time. That's not a player you want on your team.

Aiyuk left practice with an apparent hamstring injury.

With AiYAC out hurt, Deebo out for several weeks, Pettis moves into a potential top WR slot on the team. If he has a hot start, there’s potential to flip him for a pick or player. Who knows if Deebo comes back ready to go 100% after 5 weeks (or gets injured again from deconditioning), and AiYAC May see his hamstring linger as many often do. Not to mention COVID. Sure, Kittle is the top target, but the top WR can be of value, and you might find someone WR starved with COVID this year who you could sell Pettis to, even if he is just keeping the seat warm for Deebo or AiYAC. And if he is hot, he may have earned a spot and some targets. Wouldn’t be the first time someone lost their spot due to injury

5 weeks was the absolute top I pulled out of my ####, deebo is trying to get back for week one. I've generally seen week 3 as when writers expect him to be back, for what it's worth.

He seems to be hurt a lot. It will be interesting to see who ends the year the top WR target on that team 6 months from now. This is likely a situation to avoid unless you have Kittle, but there could be some opportunity for trades before everyone figures that out

Deebo fractured his leg in 2017 and missed a game last year with a groin strain. Otherwise he's been healthy.

The biggest issue with Deebo isn't his injury history. It's this specific injury. It's common to try and return too quickly, which can impact performance and increases the likelihood of another injury - typically of the over compensation variety.
I hope San Fran takes the decision out of Deebo's hands and leaves him on PUP. I'd feel much better about his chances of sustained health with extra rest.

This. What luck for him to break two bones in his career. What are the chances? Is it by coincidence? What happens when his next broken bone or serious injury comes? Will the excuses still fly? Best to sell him now before AiYAC takes over and it’s clear he can’t stay healthy
Also, as Mac said, this specific injury is a pretty serious one

I can see him being grabbed off the waiver wire in leagues with 24 or greater rosters, but anything less than that I doubt it.

... he has absolutely no connection with Garoppolo or Shanahan. He needs to leave the Niners.

Pettis needs to go somewhere else to get a chance
