2023 Fantasy Outlook
Entering his sixth year in the league, Pettis hasn't come close to reaching the 27 receptions, 465 total yards and five touchdowns he had as a rookie with the 49ers in 2018. However, in his first year with the Bears last season, his 282 yards and three TDs represented his best production in a campaign since then. Regardless, Pettis' track record indicates he'll remain a depth receiver in 2023. He's expected to compete for a reserve role with Equanimeous St. Brown, Tyler Scott and Velus Jones behind DJ Moore, Darnell Mooney and Chase Claypool. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Back with Chicago
The Bears signed Pettis (undisclosed) to a one-year deal Friday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Pettis was dealing with an undisclosed injury back in September of 2023, but it now seems as if he's moved past the issue. The 2018 second-round pick has spent time with the 49ers, Giants and Bears throughout his five-year NFL career, and he's agreed to terms to return to Chicago. Pettis' most recent in-game action came back in 2022 with the Bears, appearing in 17 games and catching 19 of his 41 targets for 245 yards and three touchdowns. The 28-year-old wideout also returned 18 punts for 163 yards in 2022, and he'll likely be competing to make Chicago's 53-man roster as a return man this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Battling to make cut
Alyssa Barbieri of USA Today pegs Pettis and Tajae Sharpe as the favorites to grab the last two wide receiver spots for the Bears.
ANALYSIS
If Chicago opts to infuse more youth on the back end of the roster, one of these veterans would likely be let go to make room, so it will be important for Pettis to have a productive training camp and preseason. He caught 10 passes for 87 yards and a touchdown as a member of the Giants last season.
