Ricky Pearsall To Make NFL Debut Against Chiefs
1 month agoSan Francisco 49ers first-round rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (chest) was removed from the final injury report on Friday and will make his NFL debut in Week 7 on Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers will need to officially activate Pearsall from the Non-Football Injury list on Saturday. Meanwhile, Jauan Jennings (hip) will be inactive. The 24-year-old Pearsall was shot in the chest during a robbery attempt just before the start of the regular season, so this will be his first game action of 2024. There's opportunity behind Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel against the Chiefs, but fantasy managers shouldn't expect Pearsall to have a big role on offense in his first game. Instead, Chris Conley is the favorite to see increased snaps in three-wide sets. Pearsall should eventually have a bigger role, but for now, he's only worth stashing in deep leagues and dynasty/keeper formats.
