49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Struggles with four targets
Ricky 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), but he was only able to generate one reception off the increase workload. The San Francisco 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 next Sunday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held to one catch Sunday
Ricky 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: Just one target in snowy loss
Ricky Pearsall failed to bring in his lone target in Sunday's 35-10 loss to Buffalo.Pearsall was on the field for 35 offensive snaps (73 percent), but his lack of involvement likely had more to do with the harsh weather conditions this time around. That said, the rookie slot man hasn't recorded a reception (on three targets) in three consecutive games since his breakout performance in Week 10. Pearsall should be more involved as the season progresses given the San Francisco 49ers' current injury issues in addition to his steady role (averaging 36.1 snaps on offense when active). The receiver's next opportunity to prove himself will come in a soft home matchup against the Bears next Sunday.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Non-factor in loss
Ricky Pearsall failed to record a target in Sunday's 39-10 loss to the Packers.Pearsall played 33 of San Francisco's 49 offensive snaps Sunday, tied with Deebo Samuel for the second-most snaps among wide receivers behind Jauan Jennings (45).

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Held catchless Sunday
Ricky Pearsall failed to bring in either of his two targets in Sunday's 20-17 loss to Seattle.Pearsall was nowhere to be seen on Sunday after scoring the first touchdown of his professional career Week 10. The rookie still logged a healthy 37 snaps on offense (59 percent), but he didn't receive nearly as many targets as a week prior (six).

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Scores first career TD
Ricky 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: Gains 77 yards on SNF
Ricky 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.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 San Francisco 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.

49ers' Ricky Pearsall: Makes NFL debut Sunday
Ricky Pearsall (chest) made his pro debut in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs, grabbing three receptions for 21 yards off of five targets in Sunday's 28-18 loss to the Chiefs.Pearsall triumphantly made his NFL debut after suffering a natural injury to his left shoulder this preseason and then surviving a gunshot wound to the other shoulder from an off-field incident. The 2024 first-round selection saw his usage increase in the second half after starter Brandon Aiyuk went down with what is being feared as an ACL tear in the loss. Pearsall still has to make up for lost time before being fully integrated into head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense, but the rookie is certainly worth a look if Aiyuk's injury proves to be serious ahead of next Sunday's tilt against Dallas.
