SUMMARY
Tight End Rank: #10   
Overall: #78

Pettigrew had a breakout season his second in the league, catching a career-high 71 passes for 722 yards. He was a huge part of the Lions' offense from day one last season. Pettigrew had at least four receptions in 10 of 16 games. He even had a 100-yard game, showing his big-game potential at the tight end position. Pettigrew wasn't a huge factor in the red zone, though, scoring four touchdowns. The Lions offense is emerging with some promising young talent, and Pettigrew is the second target in the passing game at the moment. He is the complete package at tight end. Pettigrew is a huge tight end with plus hands and top athleticism. His size makes him a tough cover for the opposition. He also is a willing blocker, which helps the Lions rushing attack. He'll be the No. 1 tight end in the Lions offense for the next several years.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Pettigrew proved his worth last season and can improve on that if Matthew Stafford is able to stay healthy and he gets a few more looks in the red zone. Pettigrew is a solid No. 1 for fantasy teams. He can get 800 yards and eight touchdowns in this offense, an offense that utilizes the tight end often.
