Ricky Pearsall

Since Week 7, Pearsall has had a 16.1% target share, 1.63 YPRR, and a 19% first-read share. Last week, he finished as the WR13 in weekly scoring, which was the first time he's cracked the top 36 wide receivers in weekly scoring. Among 131 qualifying wide receivers, he ranks 60th in separation and 61st in route win rate as a perimeter wide receiver. Since Week 2, Seattle has had the tenth-highest rate of single-high (56.5%). Since Week 7 against single-high, Pearsall has had a 16% TPRR and 1.93 YPRR (both fourth on the team). Pearsall will be fourth or fifth in the target pecking order this week, but considering the matchup, he could still walk away with a nice week. Since Week 4, Seattle has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points per game and the third-most receiving yards per game to perimeter wide receivers.

Brock Purdy was dealing in Week 10, and Pearsall had a surprisingly nice game. Pearsall played 64% of the 49ers' offensive snaps while drawing a 16.6% target share and finishing with 73 receiving yards and a score. The majority of his yardage came on an impressive 46-yard reception for a touchdown. Pearsall not only has contingent upside if any of the 49ers' skill players miss time, but he has a wonderful matchup this week that could propel him to WR3/flex consideration. Seattle has allowed the 10th-most fantasy points per game to wide receivers.
