Ricky Pearsall

24-Year-Old Wide ReceiverWR
San Francisco 49ers
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pearsall seems to have the least fantasy hype among the wide receivers drafted in Round 1 or 2 this spring. That's probably fair if San Francisco keeps both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, but fantasy managers would be wise to keep Pearsall in mind in case there's a trade or a major injury. While the former ASU and Florida wideout never had more than 965 receiving yards or five TDs in a season, he did lead his team in receiving each of his final three years. He also took 21 carries for 253 yards and five TDs during his career, which might help explain why the Niners drafted him at the same time trade rumors were swirling around Samuel. Pearsall is a totally different type of player at 6-1, 189, though also an excellent athlete who tore up a slew of drills at the 2024 Combine (4.41 40, 4.05 short shuttle, 6.64 cone drill, 42-inch vertical, 129-inch broad jump). On the other hand, he'll turn 24 in September and was 'good' more so than 'dominant' in college, suggesting he's a long shot to become a WR1 in the NFL. For now, Pearsall might not even be the third receiver in San Francisco, where Samuel, Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all remain under contract. Read Past Outlooks

October 27, 2024
Pearsall had four receptions on as many targets for 38 yards while adding a 39-yard rush in Sunday's 30-24 win over the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Pearsall followed his pro debut last week against Kansas City with 78 combined yards against Dallas on Sunday Night Football. The first-round rookie was more involved in his second game, garnering five touches after starting wideout Deebo Samuel (ribs) exited Sunday's victory for an already depleted receiver room. The 49ers will have the upcoming bye week to get healthy, so Pearsall may not be needed the way he was in Sunday's victory. That said, the rookie is worth a roster spot in most formats in the event San Francisco needs to rely on Pearsall following Brandon Aiyuk's (knee) season-ending injury and Samuel's uncertain status for Nov. 10 against Tampa Bay.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Role could grow quickly
WRSan Francisco 49ers
October 21, 2024
Pearsall could see a significant role in the 49ers offense as soon as Week 8 against the Cowboys with Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reporting that Brandon Aiyuk is out for the season with a knee injury and Deebo Samuel will be sidelined indefinitely by pneumonia.
ANALYSIS
Pearsall made his NFL debut in Week 7 after missing the beginning of the year due to being shot in the chest during an attempted robbery just before the start of the season. The 31st overall pick in the 2024 Draft caught three of five targets for 21 yards, but the Niners will need the rookie to accelerate his development curve due to the team's top two wideouts being unavailable. No. 3 receiver Jauan Jennings missed the Week 7 contest with a hip issue, but he may be able to return in Week 8, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic.
