BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 48% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: With Brandon Aiyuk's season-ending knee injury, Ricky Pearsall's role in the San Francisco 49ers' offense could expand significantly. He should be added to your roster if available.
Week 8 showed us his potential as the Florida product stepped up with Aiyuk out and showcased his explosiveness, including a 39-yard rush. Deebo Samuel Sr. also left that game with a rib injury, opening up even more chances for Pearsall to shine. Fantasy managers should watch Samuel's status closely this week as the 49ers prepare to face the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 10.

Given the injuries plaguing the 49ers' offense, Pearsall is positioned to see more targets and should be considered as WR3 or flex in deeper leagues, especially 12-team leagues and larger.
While he is not yet a proven fantasy asset, his speed, and playmaking ability make him an intriguing option, especially with the likelihood of more snaps and touches. If Samuel remains sidelined, Pearsall has the potential to deliver solid fantasy points. Bonus: he had a bye week in Week 9, so he may have even been dropped in your league.
