• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Struggles with four targets

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  Pearsall had one reception (on four targets) for 16 yards in Thursday's 12-6 loss to the Rams. Pearsall saw his highest target total since Week 10 (4-73-1 on six targets), but he was able to generate only one reception off the increased workload. The 49ers offense stalled as an entire unit, so it's hard to put the blame for Thursday's anemic offensive output on the rookie. With San Francisco all but mathematically eliminated from playoff contention, the team may opt to get a better look at Pearsall against Miami on Sunday, Dec. 22.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held to one catch Sunday

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Pearsall had one reception (on two targets) for five yards in Sunday's 38-13 rout of the Bears. Pearsall turned in another poor fantasy outing, but this time there wasn't a snow storm to dismiss the low production. The first-round rookie was in for 49 percent of San Francisco's offensive snaps as he continues to serve as the team's No. 3 option behind starters Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings. Despite his recent struggles, those in deeper leagues may consider Pearsall in Week 15 for a potential high-scoring affair against the Rams on Thursday Night Football.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Week 11 Waiver Priority List

  11/12/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Pearsall had a breakout game in Week 10 at Tampa Bay with four catches for 73 yards and a touchdown on six targets. He caught a 46-yard pass for his first NFL touchdown in the first quarter against the Buccaneers, and hopefully, it's a sign of things to come for the rookie from Florida, who is just three games into his NFL career after suffering a gunshot wound in September. He plays in a crowded receiving corps, so targets could be hard to come by, but it's also an explosive offense that could lend itself to Pearsall making big plays. He's worth stashing on your bench for 5-10 percent of your remaining FAB.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Scores first career TD

  11/10/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall had four receptions (six targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay. Pearsall got the scoring started in the first quarter when he took a deep pass from Brock Purdy for 46 yards while extending the ball for the first touchdown of his professional career. The 24-year-old Pearsall served as the team's third wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the rookie was the only one of the three to get into the end zone. Pearsall appears to be gaining confidence in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense as the team prepares to take on the Seahawks next Sunday.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Making NFL debut

  10/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall (chest) is listed as active Sunday against the Chiefs. Pearsall thus will make his long-awaited NFL debut after enduring a gunshot wound during an attempted robbery Aug. 31 that resulted in him spending the first six weeks of the campaign on the reserve/non-football injury list. With Jauan Jennings (hip) sidelined, Pearsall will have a chance to mix into the 49ers offense, but the team may prefer the veteran presence of Chris Conley as the No. 3 WR behind Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk for this high-profile matchup.
