• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Stays hot with another score

  01/06/2025 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall corralled six of eight targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 47-24 loss to the Cardinals. Pearsall was the 49ers' leading receiver while scoring his second touchdown in as many games. The rookie saw most of his season production come in those two games after injuries and limited usage kept him out of the fantasy picture for most of the season. With Brandon Aiyuk recovering from knee surgery and Deebo Samuel set to hit the open market as a free agent, Pearsall's strong close to the season should have his fantasy stock pointing up ahead of the 2025 campaign.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Cleared to play Week 18

  01/03/2025 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall (illness/chest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Coming off a Week 17 breakout performance, Pearsall should have a featured role in the San Francisco offense Sunday with fellow wide receiver Deebo Samuel (ribs/wrist) ruled out. QB Brock Purdy (elbow) also is out, however, leaving Pearsall and Jauan Jennings to catch passes from backup Joshua Dobbs.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Limited again Thursday

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall (illness/chest) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports. Pearsall is operating with a cap on his reps so far during Week 18 prep due to an illness and a chest injury, both of which are new health concerns for the rookie first-round pick. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not he has a designation ahead of Sunday's game at Arizona, but if he's active, Pearsall will be working with QB Joshua Dobbs instead of Brock Purdy, who isn't expected to be available due to a banged-up right throwing elbow.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Falls ill, has chest injury

  01/02/2025 • By RotoWire

  Pearsall was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice due to an illness and a chest injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports. Since getting held without a reception in three consecutive contests from Weeks 11 through 13, Pearsall's involvement in the 49ers' passing game has increased in four straight games, culminating with career highs across the board (8-141-1 on 10 targets) during Monday's 40-34 loss to the Lions. With his health now compromised, however, Pearsall's status will be one to monitor as the week rolls along to get a sense of his odds to suit up Sunday at Arizona.

• 49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Week 18 Waiver Priority List

  12/31/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Pearsall loses value with Brock Purdy (elbow) not expected to start in Week 18 at Arizona, but hopefully, what we saw against the Lions in Week 17 is a sign of things to come in San Francisco. He had eight catches for 141 yards and a touchdown on 10 targets against Detroit, and this should be the future for the 49ers. Hopefully, if Josh Dobbs starts, he will lean on Pearsall against the Cardinals, and I would use him as a No. 3 Fantasy receiver in deeper leagues.
