Cameron Pettaway News, Rumors, Updates - Iowa State Cyclones

Keeps emerging as receiving threat Pettaway had zero rushes and gathered in 2 of 5 targets for 52 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 42-31 loss versus Baylor.

Impact Pettaway continued his recent surge in the passing game, catching a 50-yard touchdown pass from Jaylen Raynor. He's becoming an increasingly interesting complementary piece alongside Aiden Flora. Back-to-back touchdown receptions and a season-high target total suggest the coaching staff is finding more ways to get him involved.

Makes his single touch count Pettaway had zero carries and hauled in his only target for 40 yards and one touchdown during Saturday's 51-49 win against Oklahoma State.

Impact Pettaway played a complementary role in the thrilling upset, but he still delivered one of the game's biggest plays. He hauled in the 40-yard touchdown reception from Jaylen Raynor, providing a key explosive play for a Cyclones offense that suddenly looked nothing like the unit that scored only three points the week before against Arizona.

Delivers on special teams Pettaway accrued four rushes for 12 yards and caught all three targets for 27 yards during Saturday's 55-7 win over Bowling Green.

Impact Pettaway made his biggest impact against his former team on special teams, returning a kickoff 100 yards for a touchdown in the blowout win. He also chipped in as both a runner and receiver, continuing to showcase his versatility. For fantasy managers, the challenge is that his offensive workload remains limited. However, his ability to contribute to multiple phases of the game keep him intriguing in formats that reward return production.

Sees increased work following injury Pettaway recorded eight rushes for 10 yards during Saturday's 38-10 win versus Southeast Missouri State.

Impact Pettaway was called on for additional carries after Aiden Flora exited the game with an injury, giving Iowa State a look at its backfield depth in the second half. While he did not find the end zone, the increased workload was notable from a fantasy perspective, particularly if Flora's status becomes a question heading into next week.

Unlikely to start despite strong spring Pettaway is unlikely to be the Cyclones' starting halfback this fall, losing out to Aiden Flora, per Bill Seals of Cyclone Report.

Impact Pettaway is coming off what was reportedly a strong spring camp, one in which he looked like a starter. Still, returnee Aiden Flora looks to have the upper hand in the halfback room and is reportedly expected to be the Cyclones RB1 this fall. Pettaway should still see plenty of touches behind him, but the Bowling Green transfer may not have the starting role he envisioned upon transferring to Iowa State.

Two receiving touchdowns vs. Toledo Pettaway tallied three rushes for six yards and caught all two targets for 118 yards and two touchdowns during Saturday's 28-23 victory against Toledo.

Impact Pettaway hasn't been used much so far this season, but he was a monster in the passing game with two catches that both converted into touchdowns. These two touchdowns were the 5-foot-10 running back's first of the season. It's likely that this performance was an anomaly, but Pettaway could be utilized in the passing game more moving forward.
