This article references Brandon Pettigrew and more! ESPN?s Field Yates announced on Friday morning the Detroit Lions had restructured Brandon Pettigrew?s contact. The veteran tight end was going to make $3.65 million this year, but will now be paid at a weekly rate equivalent to $2.2 million per year.

This article references A, Brandon Pettigrew, C, Eric Ebron, Indianapolis Colts, Matthew Stafford, OF, RB, RP, SP, SS, TE, Tim Wright, WR and more! While Matthew Stafford—complete with backwards cap and all—might be just arrogant enough to claim he’s the proverbial “cat’s pajamas,” this week, the title belongs to none other than Brandon Pettigrew. Why? Well, though little’s been accomplished in the numbers column, after a heartbreaking Monday night loss to the Seattle Seahawks on a blown-call, Detroit’s looking for anything on which to hang their helmet hats. Following such a disheartening game, it’s the fact that tight [...]Keep on reading: The Cat’s Pajamas: Lions’ TE Brandon Pettigrew Looks to Play On Sunday

Week 3 is in the books, and we now have three data points to go off amidst our speculation and preconceived notions. Some teams are sitting pretty at 3-0 and enter the first wave of Bye Week Blues without desperation. Some have started 0-3, and need to open themselves up to risk taking behavior. This isn't to say throw out the playbook and drop your studs, but you can't be picky on the waiver wire if you need a spark. Going into Week 4, we don't find many new guys to focus on, but some player[...]Keep on reading: FAAB Auction Bidding – Week 4 Waiver Wire Targets

Two weeks are now in the books, and there’s more than enough to react to. Most importantly, keep your wits about you--look at who each team has gone against and who they’re about to face. For instance, Lamar Miller is a pretty clear “faller” due to his performance and now an injury, but he gets Buffalo’s strong run D next week, so maybe you can wait another week before you look at that low stock and try to buy low. As always, try to find that perfect balance of appropriate reaction.[...]Keep on reading: 2015 Fantasy Football Week 3: Risers and Fallers From Week 2

The days after Week 2 can be critical to your year-long success in fantasy football.
