Ricky Pearsall Needs to Prove Himself to Fantasy Managers
Since returning from the knee injury that caused him to miss six games, San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall has caught three passes in his last two outings for only six yards. In leagues without an IR spot, Pearsall was a frustrating hold on the hopes that he would reignite his early-season success immediately upon return. His 281 receiving yards through the first three weeks of the season trailed only OPOY candidate Jaxon Smith-Njigba, but as he eases his way closer to a full workload, his involvement over the past two games has made him unplayable. It should be noted that George Kittle left early in the season opener with a hamstring injury, clearing a path to the promising WR1 workload for Pearsall. However, with a healthy Kittle playing in both games since his return, Pearsall has been out-targeted by the All-Pro tight end 15-to-6. The 49ers face a stingy Cleveland defense in Week 13 before a Week 14 bye, making Pearsall one of the league's bigger question marks heading into the fantasy playoffs.
