News: 2 days agoPearsall had four receptions (six targets) for 74 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-20 win over Tampa Bay.

Spin: Pearsall got the scoring started in the first quarter when he took a deep pass from Brock Purdy for 46 yards while extending the ball for the first touchdown of his professional career. The 24-year-old Pearsall served as the team's third wideout behind Deebo Samuel and Jauan Jennings, but the rookie was the only one of the three to get into the end zone. Pearsall appears to be gaining confidence in head coach Kyle Shanahan's offense as the team prepares to take on the Seahawks next Sunday.

ESPN Fantasy Projection: Pearsall is a favorite among metrics mavens, presenting with elite testing numbers that include burst and agility scores above the 95th percentile. Pearsall gives off Christian Kirk vibes, as he's likely best deployed via the slot, but has the route savvy, strength and catch radius to successfully work all levels of the field. Pearsall is buried on the depth chart to begin his career, but is one injury away from fantasy relevance. He's a wonderful fit for Kyle Shanahan's offense and is worth a late-round fantasy pick.
