2024 Fantasy Outlook
Pearsall seems to have the least fantasy hype among the wide receivers drafted in Round 1 or 2 this spring. That's probably fair if San Francisco keeps both Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel, but fantasy managers would be wise to keep Pearsall in mind in case there's a trade or a major injury. While the former ASU and Florida wideout never had more than 965 receiving yards or five TDs in a season, he did lead his team in receiving each of his final three years. He also took 21 carries for 253 yards and five TDs during his career, which might help explain why the Niners drafted him at the same time trade rumors were swirling around Samuel. Pearsall is a totally different type of player at 6-1, 189, though also an excellent athlete who tore up a slew of drills at the 2024 Combine (4.41 40, 4.05 short shuttle, 6.64 cone drill, 42-inch vertical, 129-inch broad jump). On the other hand, he'll turn 24 in September and was 'good' more so than 'dominant' in college, suggesting he's a long shot to become a WR1 in the NFL. For now, Pearsall might not even be the third receiver in San Francisco, where Samuel, Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all remain under contract. Read Past Outlooks
RANKS
Not returning to practice this week
Pearsall (chest) won't return to practice this week, Lindsey Pallares of the 49ers' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Kyle Shanahan made the announcement Wednesday, two days after he said that a decision hadn't yet been made about when Pearsall might resume practicing. It's unclear how much the decision is about Pearsall needing more time to recover, as the 49ers may be slow-playing things because they don't need help at wide receiver with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings all healthy right now.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Expected to resume practicing
Pearsall is likely to be activated from the NFI list and return to practice with the 49ers when first eligible this week, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The rookie wideout has yet to make his NFL debut after suffering a gunshot wound to the chest during an attempted robbery in late August. Pearsall will have a 21-day window in which to join the active roster once he's activated, but he's unlikely to see a big role in the offense right away if Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk and Jauan Jennings are all healthy.
