Austin Pettis caught one pass for six yards in Week 5. Pettis saw just two targets, but with Danny Amendola now out for a month or more with a broken collarbone, Pettis could be the next man up in the slot for the Rams. He's got reliable hands and is someone to keep an eye on moving forward.

Austin Pettis caught two passes for 22 yards in St. Louis' Week 4 win over the Seahawks. The catches were Pettis' first of the season, as he was suspended for Weeks 1 and 2. He was targeted only twice. It would be a surprise if Pettis becomes a consideration in PPR leagues.

Rams WR Austin Pettis has been reinstated from the suspended list. Pettis was serving the final two games of a four-game ban for violating the league's PED policy. Pettis is returning via a one-day roster exemption, so it's not outside the realm of possibility that he'll be waived Tuesday. It's unlikely after he turned in a strong camp, however. Regardless, Pettis will be buried at the bottom of the Rams' muddled depth chart, and won't be a consideration in PPR leagues.

Rams WR Austin Pettis is solidifying a roster spot with a strong training camp. One camp observer notes that Pettis is making more plays than any Rams receiver in practices while Brandon Gibson and Danario Alexander continue to fall behind due to hamstring injuries. CBS Sports' Larry Hartstein believes Pettis, Danny Amendola, Steve Smith, Greg Salas and rookies Brian Quick and Chris Givens are "all but locks" to make the team. Pettis will miss the first two games while under suspension.

The Post-Disptach suggests that suspended Rams WR Austin Pettis is not a lock to make the final roster. Pettis served the first two games of his four-game suspension last season. The 2011 third-round pick now appears behind Brian Quick, Chris Givens, Steven Smith, Danny Amendola, Brandon Gibson on the depth chart. Pettis' ability to help in the punt return game should help his chances of sticking.

Rams WR Austin Pettis has been suspended four games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Barring a successful appeal, the Rams' third-round pick will be suspended for the final two games of this season and the first two of 2012. St. Louis' starting slot receiver since Greg Salas went down Week 9, Pettis has averaged just 2.6 catches for 27.6 yards in six games. St. Louis doesn't have an obvious candidate to man the slot in Weeks 16 and 17, but it's possible KR Nick Miller could get a look. With both Danny Amendola and Salas expected to be 100 percent healthy for training camp, there's little reason to hold onto Pettis in dynasty leagues.

Austin Pettis caught four passes for 38 yards in St. Louis' Week 15 loss to the Bengals. Pettis was targeted nine times in his best game since coming on in relief of Greg Salas in Week 9. Averaging just 2.6 catches for 27.6 yards in six games since taking over as the Rams' primary slot receiver, Pettis is a poor own in deeper PPR leagues.

Austin Pettis caught one pass for seven yards in Week 14. Since taking over as the Rams' primary slot receiver in Week 10, Pettis is averaging just 2.4 catches for 25.6 yards. That won't even get it done in deeper PPR leagues. With Greg Salas and Danny Amendola both likely to be back in the fold for St. Louis in 2012, Pettis has little-to-no value in dynasty formats.

Austin Pettis caught three passes for 45 yards in Sunday's loss. Another quiet day from the Rams' latest slot receiver, who is averaging just 2.6 catches for 29.3 yards since taking over for Greg Salas. There's been nothing to suggest he'll turn into anything other than a bench player in deeper PPR leagues down the stretch.

Austin Pettis (knee) is listed as probable for Week 12. Pettis' health, on-field role, and target counts have all been too shaky recently for fantasy confidence. He should still play in most three-receiver sets against Arizona, manning the slot between Brandon Lloyd and Brandon Gibson.
