San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will be out of action for around nine months after he undergoes surgery, according to ESPN's Nick Wagoner. That means he should be fully recovered well ahead of training camp in 2027.
Huddle Up: With Pearsall to miss all of 2026, he's a nonfactor in standard formats. For those in keeper leagues, however, the prudent move would be to keep Pearsall on an IR slot if you can spare the room. He's flashed when healthy, and he'll likely be playing for his NFL future (and a second contract, unless the 49ers unexpectedly exercise his fifth-year option) next year. Motivation doesn't get much higher.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (PCL) will be placed on season-ending injured reserve, according to GM John Lynch on Saturday, Aug. 1.
Huddle Up: The newly-signed Deebo Samuel and rookie De'Zhaun Stribling will be the beneficiaries of this unfortunate injury by Pearsall, which will end his 2026 season before it started. Consider both Samuel and Stribling late-round picks in fantasy football, but it's more likely they're waiver wire options to see if they can have a fantasy-relevant role right away.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) will miss the entire 2026 season if he needs to undergo surgery on his injured knee, according to NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco.
Huddle Up: Fantasy players will need to monitor the situation because Pearsall was in line for a big role in the passing game if healthy. De'Zhaun Stribling and Demarcus Robinson will likely see increased roles if Pearsall is sidelined. Stribling can be a late round pick in fantasy leagues with the chance to become a No. 3 or No. 4 receiver depending on the role.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is not practicing on Wednesday, July 29.
Huddle Up: Pearsall is expected to play a pivotal role in the 49ers' offense in 2026, but this is not the start he or the team wanted. There is no timeline projected for how much he will miss, but if he is good for the regular season, he projects as a WR3 or flex option in leagues.

San Francisco 49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is officially active for the Divisional Round playoff game.
Huddle Up: Pearsall has been a solid contributor in the passing game when healthy, so he should see a handful of targets against the Seattle Seahawks. He can be at least a flex option in fantasy leagues.
