Ricky Pearsall caught 5-of-8 targets for 85 yards in the 49ers’ Week 17 win over the Bears.

29 December 2025

Pearsall showed no ill wear after missing Week 16, immediately returning to lead the team in receiving on a night the two offenses combined for more than 940 yards of total offense and 80 points. The only thing he didn’t do for fantasy managers was find the end zone. He could have more target competition after it was reported that tight end George Kittle is likely to make a return to the game-day lineup when the 49ers host the Seahawks in Week 18 for a battle for the No. 1 seed out of the NFC.
