Notes for Player Combination

Expert
Derek Brown FantasyPros	Ricky Pearsall has reached make-or-break territory. Last year was another injury-marred campaign, as he was limited to nine games played with a PCL sprain that plagued him all year, essentially. Already in camp this year, the PCL seems to be an issue again with reports of his knee swelling. Pearsall still flashed when he was on the field last season, with four top-24 weekly finishes in those nine games (WR20, WR11, WR21, WR22). Last year, Pearsall only drew a 17.4% target share, but he averaged 58.7 receiving yards with 2.02 yards per route run and 0.103 first downs per route run (per Fantasy Points Data). Last year, among 109 qualifying receivers, Pearsall ranked 23rd in yards per route run and 22nd in first downs per route run. On a per-route basis, Pearsall was excellent. The big worry at this point is his knee and how effective he will be in 2026, or whether the knee will knock him out of action or limit him. With all of these worries swirling, I'm only taking Pearsall when he slips past ADP and prioritizing De'Zhaun Stribling in the later rounds.
Andrew Erickson FantasyPros	Ricky Pearsall quietly flashed major upside in an injury-shortened 2025 season, posting four games with at least 85 receiving yards while leading the 49ers in receiving yards per game. The opportunity is massive entering 2026 with Jauan Jennings and Brandon Aiyuk gone, George Kittle recovering from a torn Achilles, and San Francisco carrying significant vacated targets and air yards. Pearsall has a realistic path to becoming a featured option in Kyle Shanahan's offense if he can finally stay healthy. Alas, he re-injured his PCL in training camp (knee swelling)...making his 2026 projection very fragile.
