BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: WR3 / FLEX
ANALYSIS: The 49er rookie receiver caught his first NFL touchdown last week and finished with four catches for 73 yards. It was his best game as a pro and came as a bit of a surprise as San Francisco had Deebo Samuel Sr., Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle all healthy and in the lineup.
Despite being the WR3, Pearsall played 64% of the snaps last week and made the most of his opportunities. He was targeted six times by Brock Purdy and showed off his speed by catching a relatively short pass and then racing the rest of the way for a 46-yard touchdown.
The latest news out of the Niners' practice is that Jauan Jennings was limited on Thursday and is dealing with an ankle injury.
Oh this is kinda big, Ricky Pearsall would shoot up the rankings if Jauan Jennings were to miss any time https://t.co/zqLwFhPkCE

If Jennings were to sit out, then Pearsall would become an absolute must-play in all formats in a good matchup against the Seattle secondary. He's already involved enough to be a flex play in most leagues but monitor Jennings's status as Pearsall's value for Sunday is closely tied to Jennings's health.
