Pearsall's PCL flare-up and injury history warrant removal from draft boards.
Pearsall is dealing with a right knee injury, specifically a PCL flare-up that has heightened worries among fantasy managers. Injuries have already cost him 14 of 34 games in his first two NFL seasons, including a posterior cruciate ligament issue in his left knee that cost him eight contests in 2025. After injuring the PCL in Week 4 last season, his target share dropped from 19.3% to 6.2% and his fantasy points per game fell from 13.1 to 7.3. With the 49ers adding Mike Evans, second-round pick De'Zhaun Stribling, and free agent Christian Kirk, there is no reason for the team to rush his recovery. Pearsall should be taken off fantasy draft boards until further notice, as his lack of availability continues to be a roadblock to fantasy production.
