not good but he's going to be feed targets

BTJ had his most productive weeks with Mac Jones last year, or so I'm told. Haven't looked it up.
I'm really high on Pearsall and think he can produce even with Mac Jones and all of the missing weapons.
Sitting him this week for other options but I might change my mind and would start with confidence.

You can't actually trust anyone or anything in this hobby, just look at some of the duds a bunch of proven stud WR's put up in week one with their starting QB. No guarantees here.
But should he be ok with Mac? I think so. I posted upthread that last season Brian Thomas broke out with Mac. I basically assumed that had more to do with BTJ improving as his rookie season progressed but during the summer someone made a cutup of every BTJ target and I recall watching that and changing my tune a little because Mac was throwing him some really nice balls. Hate to say it but better ball placement then Trevor.
Jakobi Myers was also ok with Mac though Kyles a lot better schemer then who the Pats had at the time and I think most of us would be disappointed if Ricky performed at Myers NE level, I tend to view that as the floor outlook.

Is this some carry over from the Caleb Williams thread?

Jeebus, no. Just a simple joke about what he looks like in his mug shot. Keep me out of that nonsense, please.

Brian Thomas Jr. averaged 19.3 ppg in his final 8 games with Mac Jones at QB last season.
Should we expect similar production from Ricky Pearsall with no Brock Purdy?

this is going to be an MVS game isn't it. Yeah MVS catches 4 for 124 and a TD. Pearsall gets 8 targets 4 catches for 35 yards that's it.

Nah, but there will be targets outside of CMC and Ricky, and Bourne had good numbers with Jones in New England, so I can see Bourne having a decent game if he's up to speed on the play book (Mac worked with him on it all week).

Who’s this Denny Carter guy and how did he get a gig with NBC Sports? I feel like any FootballGuys regular would be a better fit.
Pearsall isn’t a good player? Who said that Pearsall would be a WR1 fantasy-wise? He also implies that Mahomes is washed, among other questionable takes.

He has been with them for a few years, started out doing fantasy with JJ Zacharison. He's part schtick and is a by the numbers only guy prone to hypberbole. He said "dreams" of Pearsall being a WR1 not "plans". With Jennings and Aiyuk hurt and Deebo gone (and then later the Kittle injury) there was a massive amount of targets available for Pearsall. You take 1st round pick + lots of available targets + generally strong offense and it's pretty easy to see why many people thought a WR1 season was possible. As for Mahomes, it's a joke based on the fact Mahomes hasn't been good for fantasy recently and this year hasn't played particularly well for NFL results either.Chris Olave, Wan'Dale Robinson, Troy Franklin headline Week 3’s Regression Files

I still use RW as a news aggregator. But, the quality of their football analysis plummeted when Silva and Levitan departed to create ETR. Ditto with basketball and the loss of Mike Gallagher. Sucks, as RW used to be one of the best fantasy resources and it was free to boot!

I agree that when NBC bought them and lots of of that original talent left, the site became much less useful for fantasy. Then there was the whole debacle where NBC changed the name from Rotoworld to NBC Sports Edge or something like that. Just so dumb. But I do think there is value to Denny’s premise in finding which hot/cold starts are likely and unlikely to last.I see.

Exactly! Rotoworld is complete poo. I scan their headlines for things I think I should dig deeper into. I got so tired of seeing their clown writers talk up a player one day, then turn around and say he's a bum and droppable the next day. Zero consistency or accountability in their writing. Though that is the case most places now. Never use Roto as a good source of info. They throw poo like monkeys.I see.

It just took the removal of everyone else sans McCaffrey for Pearsall to become a target hog.
Aiyuk, too. He may be back around week 6.
Hot Sauce Guy

Jennings, Aiyuk, & Kittle should all be back in a few weeks. I’d say there’s an opportunity to ride Pearsall out for at least another week, then maybe look to sell high before the bottom falls out.
He won’t be a zero, but his value will never be higher than when he’s getting target hog usage. I don’t see that remaining the norm once SF gets healthy. After that IMO he’s a boom or bust WR3, who’ll deliver occasional WR1 weeks.
ETA I’m talking redraft. Dynasty I love the kid. Wish I had some shares.
FantasyGuru24
Footballguy
He’s a first round pick .. They’re feeding him.
Hot Sauce Guy
Footballguy
It’s a Shanahan offense. They spread the ball around. When everyone is healthy his target share will very likely be reduced. I don’t think I’m saying anything earth-shattering here for anyone familiar with this team.
I respectfully disagree with your premise. His draft capital will be meaningless in the context of the flow of a game. Some games he’ll be fed, sure. Some games it’ll be Aiyuk, or Jennings, or Kittle. Or CMC. Or Juice. For sure there will be a distribution regardless of who was drafted where.

Footballguy
But it's not like Kittle, Jennings and Aiyuk are the picture of health. The odds of one or more of them getting hurt again are high especially since they already are hurt.
eighsse2
Footballguy
I mean, sure, but if even one of them stays healthy, they no longer have to force feed Pearsall.
warpig33
Footballguy
I agree with @Hot Sauce Guy. Ride this train for another couple of weeks. But when Aiyuk, Jennings, Kittle get back...Pearsall will definitely be a boom or bust player. Throw in how much they want to throw to CMC and Pearsall will become an after thought. But in dynasty, he's definitely got a bright future. Kittle will be older, no telling if Aiyuk or Jennings will ever be healthy again. He could certainly be the WR1 in a year or two. Or they'll draft/sign an alpha.

I think it will mainly come down to Aiyuk and how close to 100% he is when he returns. I totally understand people interpreting his numbers right now through the lens of SFs injuries, but I don't think I was alone in envisioning Pearsall doing pretty much what he has been doing even with Kittle and Jennings in the picture. I just think he's that good, and really it's a connection he started with Purdy already down the stretch last season. Obviously, we'll find out soon enough, but unless it was some godfather offer, and especially with how many pre-season projected WR1/high end WR2s who are wildly underperforming in ideal situations, I'd be holding Pearsall tighter than GameStop stock. Even with Jennings and Kittle back on the field, I think 8-10 targets a week are still in the picture for Ricky. He also hasn't even found the endzone yet this year, so I think there's some wiggle room to keep scoring on pace with the loss of a target or two a week.
If Aiyuk comes back and is at full speed, then sure I can see that number getting cut in half as Aiyuk is just that good while Pearsall is realistically still in his "rookie season" IMO and still has some work to do to get to Aiyuks level (if he ever does). But that's more a testament to how good I think Aiyuk is.
