Ricky Pearsall

The 49ers placed WR Ricky Pearsall on injured reserve as he'll undergo season-ending surgery.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall will miss the entire season after playing in just nine games last year. Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling will see more opportunity.

Ricky Pearsall is not practicing with the 49ers on the first day of training camp on Wednesday due to knee swelling.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall's current swelling is related to the PCL sprain he suffered last season. He is being evaluated, so more information could surface in the coming days. The 25-year-old is looking to emerge as Brock Purdy's top target this season in a receiver room that includes new faces in Mike Evans and Christian Kirk.

Ricky Pearsall (knee) is active for the NFC Divisional Round for the San Francisco 49ers against the Seattle Seahawks.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall will suit up after entering Saturday carrying a questionable designation, offering quarterback Brock Purdy with one of the few healthy pass-catching options in the San Francisco offense against a tough Seattle defensive front Saturday night.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) said he is "pretty confident" he will play in the Divisional Round despite being listed as questionable.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall did not play in the Wild Card win over the Philadelphia Eagles. With tight end Georgie Kittle out, the 49ers will be happy for a return from Pearsall. He recorded 36 receptions for 528 yards in nine games. If he plays, he should be one of the team's top pass-catchers alongside wide receiver Jauan Jennings and running back Christian McCaffrey.

Ricky Pearsall was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall told reporters he was "optimistic" about being able to go this weekend. He is on track to have a chance to return.
