BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 64% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers struggled offensively in Week 11, and Ricky Pearsall was held without a catch on two targets in their 20-17 loss to the Seattle Seahawks.
This was a disappointing follow-up to his breakout in Week 10, where he brought in four passes for 73 yards and scored his first career touchdown. Despite George Kittle missing this game due to injury, the rookie did not see the increased workload many expected.
Ricky Pearsall saw his route share fall to 62% in Week 11, his lowest mark of the season. He only had one target and didn't catch it.

Pearsall is not a consistent fantasy option but can still be valuable in deeper leagues. He profiles as a WR3/WR4 with potential flex appeal depending on matchups and game script. His boom-or-bust nature makes him a risky start, but players with his upside should not remain on waivers.
If you have the bench space, Pearsall is worth rostering. While he will not be a weekly starter, he has shown flashes of potential and can be helpful during bye weeks or in promising matchups. Managers in 12+ team leagues should pick him up as a stash.
