Brandon Pettigrew is Questionable

Found November 30, 2012 on Fantasy Football Champs: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Brandon Pettigrew
TEAMS: Detroit Lions
Lions_vs_browns_59c3
Lions tight end Brandon Pettigrew is questionable for Sunday's game against Indianapolis. His knees have been acting up for the last month and he could use some time off.Fantasy Spin:We can see the effect its had on his production. Over the past four games Pettigrew has caught 16 balls for 139 yards (34.7 ypg). In his first seven games he averaged 53.4 ypg. Neither is great, but the last four weeks are unworthy of a start in fantasy lineups.

The Lions played well last week, but it's too little too late. Week 13 preview.

Via Football Extra Points  |  November 30, 2012
The Lions played tough against the Texans last week but still managed to lose the game.  The remaining weeks are for talent evaluation. After an average Thanksgiving week of picks I'm sitting at 114-63.  I need to step my game up as we sprint to the postseason.

Lions vs. Texans: Pure Thanksgiving Day Agony

Via The Daily Traub  |  December 01, 2012

Why on earth is that a rule...
