Ricky Pearsall

Pearsall Jr. could easily get squeezed for playing time and volume in year one, but he's one injury or Deebo Samuel trade away from being an exquisite value. Pearsall Jr. became one of my favorite players during the NFL Draft cycle. His film was fantastic as he oozes high-end route running prowess with the athleticism to stretch the field. In his final season at Florida, he finished in the 89th percentile in receiving grade, the 91st percentile in receiving grade against single coverage, and the 90th percentile in separation percentage. Pearsall Jr. could be a player that is dropped to waivers by Week 4, but the upside is there for him to absolutely crush as well in his rookie season.

Ricky Pearsall signed his rookie deal with the 49ers.

Fantasy Impact

Pearsall signed a four-year, $12.5 million contract with San Francisco. The rookie wide receiver was a bit of a surprise back in April as a first-round pick. His immediate fantasy value will likely be largely dependent on whether or not the 49ers trade Brandon Aiyuk or Deebo Samuel.
