Ricky Pearsall

49ers designated WR Ricky Pearsall (NFI) for return.

Pearsall rookie season was put on hold after the first-round receiver fell victim to a gunshot during an armed robbery time. Now ready to resume football activities, Pearsall will begin practicing with the 49ers this week, and has 21 days to be activated from the NFI list. It’s difficult to know how Pearsall will fit into a passing game that features Brandon Aiyuk, Deebo Samuel, and George Kittle as its top target earners, so we wouldn’t expect much fantasy upside out of the gate. He’s an interesting stash for deeper leagues, but isn’t a must-add at this time.
