Instant Fantasy Analysis - WR Dante Pettis, 49ers

Recommended Posts

The 49ers probably did not draft the top receiver on the board, but they likely have a long-term answer in the slot. This pick has more to do with this ability on special teams, however, as Pettis is the NCAA record-holder with nine career punt return touchdowns. Pettis overcomes less-than-ideal size (6-0, 186) by being one of the sharper route-runners in this class and utilizing impressive short-area quickness. Pettis drew a comp to Jamison Crowder from me for the aforementioned reasons and it wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up carving out a similar career. He'll have to wait his turn behind Pierre Garcon and Marquise Goodwin, however, so he will likely go ignored in redraft leagues. He's probably a late second-round pick at best in rookie drafts.
