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

Pearsall (shoulder/chest) was released from the hospital Sunday afternoon.
ANALYSIS
Pearsall was upgraded from ‘serious’ to ‘fair’ condition by San Francisco General Hospital earlier Sunday, and he’s now been given the go-ahead to return home. That is obviously great news for the rookie receiver’s outlook after he was shot in the chest as the victim of an alleged robbery attempt Saturday.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Standing out in return from injury
WRSan Francisco 49ers
August 3, 2024
After missing the start of training camp due to a hamstring injury, Pearsall has impressed teammates and coaches in practices this past week, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Pearsall began training camp on the NFI list, but he returned to practice Monday. He’s made tough catches and generated separation off defenders during team drills, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said after Wednesday’s practice that he has been happy with Pearsall’s progress thus far. Pearsall has been absorbing information from veteran wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk, and the rookie first-round pick appears could be on his way to earning a consistent role in the high-powered 49ers offense.
