Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) hopefully ready for Week 1, says Kyle Shanahan

Aug 24, 2024

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said Saturday he hopes rookie wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (shoulder) will be ready to play when the team opens the regular season Monday, September 9 against the New York Jets.

Fantasy Impact:

Pearsall has only practiced for about a week and did not play in any of the 49ers’ three preseason games. He started training camp on the non-football injury list, returned to practice for a week before re-aggravating the injury.

"We'll see how he is this week,” Shanahan said of Pearsall. “Hoping he gets into practice this week, and if he does, that's a pretty good sign that he could be available for then." With Pearsall hurt and Brandon Aiyuk still on his “hold in”, Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings are running as the top outside options for Brock Purdy. There are 16 days until the 49ers’ opener.

De’Von Achane is ACTIVE

Related Players: De'Von Achane, Jeff Wilson, Jaylen Wright

Fantasy Impact:

Though he may not play a full complement of snaps, Achane should be in lineups tonight. Jeff Wilson makes for an interesting FLEX play as well.

Bears WRs Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze miss second straight practice

For the second straight day, Bears WRs Keenan Allen (heel) and Rome Odunze (knee) did not practice.

Related Players: D.J. Moore, Tyler Scott, DeAndre Carter, Velus Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Reading the tea leaves, it seems as if Allen has a better chance at playing than Odunze but that isn't set in stone or anything. As it stands, treat Allen as a solid WR3 and try to keep Odunze on your bench. We'll keep an eye on this tomorrow for updates leading to Sunday.

Giants rookie WR Malik Nabers popped up on the team’s injury report and is being listed as limited in today’s practice due to a knee injury.

Related Players: Wan'Dale Robinson, Darius Slayton, Jalin Hyatt

Fantasy Impact:

As long as Nabers plays, he should be on the WR2/3 fantasy radar, as the only legitimate weapon on this offense outside of Daniel Jones' legs. We'll keep an eye on his status as the week progresses.
