Pearsall’s routine emphasizes foot and ankle mobility, translating to improved breaks and hip angle leverage, which could elevate his route-precision and open-field burst for San Francisco.

Pearsall endured gunshot wounds, missing four games, then returned with 11 receptions for 400 yards and three TDs as a rookie. His resilience and speed energized SF’s WR room, with Trent Williams praising his grace and leadership, signaling a larger role could be in SF’s plans this season.

Pearsall steps into the top receiver role after a tumultuous rookie year. His ability to carve out a workload and convert opportunities will shape the 49ers’ aerial attack and influence fantasy outputs for the receiving corps.

Pearsall transformed a traumatic shooting into fuel for professional growth, returning to football within 50 days of the incident and finishing his rookie year strong. He is positioned for a larger role as the Niners contend with injuries to Aiyuk and Jennings, and has dedicated off-season work to syncing with Purdy. His mindset—positive and growth-oriented—drives both performance and leadership for fantasy managers seeking late-round upside.

Pearsall is pegged as a late‐round target with potential to step into a prominent SF WR role as Aiyuk/Jennings are delayed or unavailable, leveraging Shanahan’s system for quick, reliable production.
