A first-round pick in 2024, Pearsall was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt just prior to the start of the season and wound up missing six games as a result. As you'd suspect, his numbers weren't great, finishing with a 31-400-3 line. He closed strong, however, catching 14 passes for 210 yards and a pair of touchdowns over the final two weeks. While it's always a bit dangerous to get read too much into late-season production (for example, Patrick Taylor had 121 yards in Week 18 and faces an uphill battle to even make the team in 2025), there's no doubt that Pearsall has talent.
When the 49ers selected him, many suspected the Florida alum was taken with an eye on the future, and with Samuel gone the opportunity to become a major part of the offense is here. Shanahan can be notoriously tough on young wideouts, so we'll see if Pearsall can ingratiate himself quickly. The arrival of veteran Demarcus Robinson provides the team some depth at the position, though he feels more like a stopgap until Aiyuk can return from injury.
In breaking down the 49ers' receiving corps, Jennings looks to be the higher-floor, lower-ceiling candidate while Pearsall has a bit more boom or bust in his outlook. If he can lock down the slot, his speed and height could make him a problem for opposing cornerbacks both downfield and in jump ball situations. As your fourth or fifth receiver, Pearsall offers interesting upside.

 George Kittle likely to miss multiple games
Suffered hamstring injury early in opener
By: Doug Orth | Mon Sep 8, 11:10 pm
|  | 49ers Pro Bowl TE George Kittle is expected to be sidelined multiple weeks with a hamstring injury. (ESPN - Adam Schefter)
FFToday's Take: Kittle logged only 21 snaps but was targeted on four of the 14 pass plays he was on the field against the Seahawks, which speaks to how big of a day he could have had. He still managed four catches for 25 yards and a touchdown. Brock Purdy appears to be in some doubt for Week 2 after suffering (and playing through) a toe and left shoulder injury in Week 1, while Jauan Jennings is in a similar boat after he hurt his shoulder. Fantasy managers should expect Christian McCaffrey and Ricky Pearsall to handle most of the work in the passing game until Kittle returns.
| Brandon Aiyuk likely to return in early October
Shanahan: WR is "on track" to return around Week 6
By: Doug Orth | Tue Aug 12, 10:10 pm
| | Kyle Shanahan said all of the 49ers' ACL guys - including Brandon Aiyuk - are on track to be back around Week 6, he said. He said there's a range of weeks that Aiyuk could actually be back in a game, but that's the rough estimate at this point. (The Athletic - Matt Barrows)
FFToday's Take: This suggests that Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall will each have a nice runway for the first half of the season if they can get healthy in time for Week 1. Given how uncertain Aiyuk's return date sounds, there is a world Jennings and Pearsall can operate as clear starters for at least half of the season. Outside of the receivers, Aiyuk's absence figures to boost the floors of Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle.
