## 2026 Outlook

Pearsall has dealt with multiple injuries that have delayed his potential NFL breakout. He began the 2025 season strong with two 100-yard games in the first three weeks, but suffered an injury in Week 4 that limited his availability. When he attempted to return in Week 11, he was not at 100% and managed just five catches for 20 yards over three games. However, he posted strong stat lines in Weeks 15 and 17 (6-96-0 and 5-85-0), finishing as a top-24 fantasy wideout four times in six appearances where he wasn't limited by injury. He's already training with new teammate Christian Kirk, suggesting positive progression in his recovery. With Brandon Aiyuk not expected to return to the team and George Kittle dealing with a torn Achilles, Pearsall will be a key piece of the 49ers offense moving forward. He has the potential to jump from a fantasy WR3/flex with durability concerns to a top-24 option if he can stay on the field in 2026 (per Several notable WR and TE injuries could impact 2026 fantasy football outlooks).
