NBC Sports Rotoworld on Ricky Pearsall
From the article
So far limited to 20 of a possible 34 regular season contests in two years... he increased from a disastrous 1.26 yards per route run to a more palatable 1.60... He's a WR4 who could make a dark horse run at top-30 status if he stays healthy.
STACKED’s take
Pearsall improved efficiency but durability concerns limit him to WR4 with dark horse top-30 upside.
Pearsall has been limited to 20 of a possible 34 regular season contests in two years since arriving as the No. 31 overall pick, but improved his efficiency in 2025. He increased from 1.26 yards per route run to 1.60, generated 128 more yards (528 to 400) in two fewer games (nine compared to 11), and averaged nearly 15 yards per catch, though he failed to find the end zone while contributing a pair of 100-yard efforts. The source notes the 49ers' investments in wide receiver via draft and free agency speak to a lack of faith in the 26-year-old former first-round pick, but he still has the best chance at emerging with the No. 2 job. He's a WR4 who could make a dark horse run at top-30 status if he stays healthy.
