If he’s healthy I think he’ll be the top option, not every week, but over the course of the ROS.
How big of an IF his health is we’ll see but I actually feel good about it for now, they sure don’t seem like they rushed him back out of need.

I feel like there is an 80% chance he has a 3 week stretch somewhere in the season where he's a top 5 WR and is winning people $$$

Some reason they just didn't put him on IR? Very annoying.

They must have really thought he would be healthy by now. Seems like they midjudged his injury or ability to recover.

PCL injuries are tricky, and it sounds like the medical staff misdiagnosed a Grade 1-2 PCL sprain and it's more a Grade 2-3.
He initially picked it up Week 3, and he re-aggravated it Week 4 in a collision (end of September/early October). It's been a month and he hasn't even practiced yet; that's a bad sign.

It's the same injury Bowers has been dealing with, only he suffered his a little earlier.

If we could just get the governor of Louisiana to come out and say something bad about the 49ers medical staff....

same injury but different grade. Bowers hurt it @Week 1 but played through it, irritating enough that he had to tap out Week 5.
I'm thinking Pearsall is closer to Grade 3.
None of us know and just speculating but I think they are close to or the same grade and their return to play timeline from the original injury will be similar.
I know you posted some info and I'm not saying it's wrong but I had looked this up back when Bowers got hurt and read a grade one sprain ranges from 2-6 weeks and a grade two is 6-12 weeks and the range I think these two hit will be high end of grade one time frame, lowest end of grade 2 depending on if we are counting from games missed or timeframe from initial injury. Anything grade 3 is pretty much the season and I don't think that's the case here with Pearsall. Is that what you think? Personally I think he's actually going to play next week.

Oh, like that foot-ball sports thing people talk about sometimes? Yeah I only follow fantasy football.

I got to agree, they must revaluate him and feel he's close but not ready to risk playing or practicing.
Hoping this week with all the byes

They keep winning without him, I think he comes back after the bye.

No need to rush him back.
I'm just afraid he's gonna get lost in the shuffle,with too many mouths to feed in San Fran. Aiyuk back soon too.with Kittle, J Jennings CMC ,Watkins getting some run now n even Bourne..
He'll be getting 5-6 targets most weeks.. WR 2/3 ros,when healthy.

Ricky Pearsall (knee) has a chance to play against the Rams, but will be evaluated later this week, per Kyle Shanahan

Aiyuk apparently still not close. They are talking like he might not make it before the bye. At which point, who cares since their bye is week 14.

Need a limited practice before I believe it.

How do people view him ROS if he does come back healthy in a week or two. Sounds like Aiyuk may be coming back soon too.

He’s their best receiver after CMC and Kittle. High-end WR3?

what does that even mean? My guess is he needs season ending surgery but their Dr/Pearsall himself thinks he can get gut it out when they need himLOL

Urgg I may say F it and drop him too.
IMO, the Niners are playing the long-game with Pearsall, Purdy, and Aiyuk. They’re getting decent production at their positions and winning without them, so there’s no need to rush their recoveries. It’s better to make sure they’re at full-strength (or close to it) heading into the end of the season.
*I think you’ll see more urgency to get them back on the field if/ when the playoff picture clarifies a bit and it looks like the Niners need Ws.*

I've been holding all season in a 12-team PPR league and just picked him up last week in a 14-team non-PPR where my WRs are trashed. I had to take the chance, and figured he was on track to return this week, but today's news is very discouraging. I'll continue holding in both leagues for now, but let's see what kind of news we get in the next few days

Or DROP if you’ve been plagued by injuries and bye weeks and have run out of IR slots.
This is the reality of fantasy football in 2025.

If he doesn’t get in at least a limited practice by Friday, he’s a drop for me. I’d rather use the roster spot to handcuff one of my RB.
Yeah, I don’t see him as a mandatory hold anymore, not if he doesn’t start practicing soon. Is he even doing work off to the side?
I still think the most likely outcomes are that he returns in week 11 or week 12. But, the probability of him sitting out through the week 14 bye keeps rising.

That's the part I don't get. We're just guys on the Internet but shouldn't the doctors being paid by the team know if a guy is going to be back in less than 4 games or not?
and the screwy part isn't that they are coming back in week 5 so it was close to 4 and the doctors might have thought 3 weeks but turned out to be 5. They are pushing 6+ weeks so quite a bit of a miss.
ETA: Bucky also in the same situation of 6+ weeks

The lack of IR usage could relate to the limited number of players teams can designate to return (which I believe is 8).
LawFitz
Footballguy
Bald Bowser and IR spot are the only two things keeping pretty Ricky on my roster. I just wish the yahoos at Yahoo would keep him designated as 'O' until he actually logs a practice. Sux having to manage around his designation reset until late in each week when he gets reclassified as 'O' once again.
