Trends

"Pearsall is entering his second NFL season positioned well for a breakout after a gunshot wound derailed a chunk of his rookie campaign. After debuting in Week 7, Pearsall had a few strong fantasy outings (17-plus points in three games), but was otherwise a nonfactor (3.6 PPG in the other eight games). The 2024 first-round pick finished strong (8-141-1 and 6-69-1 receiving lines in Weeks 17 and 18, respectively) and now has a much clearer path to consistent work with Deebo Samuel Sr. gone and Brandon Aiyuk (ACL) expected to miss part of the season. There are still plenty of mouths to feed in San Francisco, but Pearsall very well could lead this team in targets. He's well worth a midround flier."

"Pearsall is on the mend from what the 49ers have labeled as a minor PCL injury to his right knee, which the second-year wideout sustained in the third quarter of Sunday's 26-21 loss to the Jaguars. He was sent in for further testing Monday and was listed as a non-participant on the team's estimated practice report later that day. The 49ers will hold a walk-through session Tuesday for their lone on-field workout for Week 5, and if Pearsall isn't able to take any reps, he could face an uphill battle to gain clearance for Thursday's game. Through the first four weeks of the season, Pearsall leads the 49ers in receiving yards (327) and ranks second to only running back Christian McCaffrey in catches (20) and targets (29)."
