In this third game since returning from a 7-week layoff, San Francisco 49ers' WR had another forgettable fantasy showing in Cleveland. Pearsall caught 2 of his 3 targets for just 13 yards and failed to find the end zone. Since he's been back in the lineup, Pearsall has been held to 0, 6, and 13 receiving yards in three games.

The forecast for today's 49ers-Browns game calls for sustained winds of 25 mph with gusts around 35 mph. The total in this game has dropped from 42.5 to 35.5. Expect a run-heavy game plan from both sides. RBs Christian McCaffrey and Quinshon Judkins can stay in fantasy lineups. TE George Kittle is the only comfortable play from either passing game. Avoid the kickers.

49ers K Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Browns. Matt Gay will kick again for San Francisco but isn’t a recommended fantasy play in what’s expected to be bad weather in Cleveland.

49ers K Eddy Pineiro (hamstring) is out for Monday night's game vs. the Panthers. He'll be replaced by K Matt Gay, who made just 13 of 19 FGs for Washington across 10 games this season. Look elsewhere for your Week 12 fantasy kicker.

The 49ers have voided the more than $25 million guaranteed for 2026 in WR Brandon Aiyuk's contract, according to The Athletic. Aiyuk reportedly skipped meetings and other activities in recent months, as he's continued to work back from his October 2024 knee injury. Aiyuk will not be contesting the voided money. There have been "repeated overtures from team officials and even players to try to bring Aiyuk back into the fold," per The Athletic. But "it’s now likely that the 27-year-old has played his last game with the franchise." Aiyuk is expected to be released after the season.

Niners LB Tatum Bethune suffered a high-ankle sprain in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that they expect Bethune to miss multiple weeks but that he probably won't hit IR because of the Week 14 bye.

The Commanders released K Matt Gay. He missed 2 FGs in Sunday morning's loss to Miami, bringing him up to six total on the season. Washington has a Week 12 bye to find a replacement for Gay.

Update: Washington has signed K Jake Moody.

Niners WR Ricky Pearsall managed just 1 catch for no yards among three targets in his return Sunday from a seven-week absence for a knee injury. But the outing was more encouraging than that would suggest.

No one can complain about Christian McCaffrey's fantasy output after he racked up 3 TDs (two rushing, one receiving) in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. But it's worth noting that he's ceding rushing work to No. 2 RB Brian Robinson Jr. That included garnering eight carries for 24 yards in Sunday's win over the Cardinals.

Niners QB Brock Purdy threw for 200 yards and 3 TDs in Sunday's win over the Cardinals. The game marked Purdy's first action since Week 4, because of turf toe. He completed 19 of 26 passes in the lopsided victory, including a 10-of-15 first half (for 123 yards and 2 TDs). Purdy found TE George Kittle for scores from 30 and 4 yards out and hit RB Christian McCaffrey for a 9-yard score early in the second quarter.

49ers K Eddy Pineiro is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals with a right hamstring injury. Pineiro has been excellent for San Francisco since taking over in Week 2, drilling all 22 of his FG attempts. We'll keep you updated on his injury.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) practiced all week and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Cardinals. It’ll be his first action since Week 4. We’ll look for any reports of a snap count for Pearsall in this one, but he’s at least a bit riskier than usual in fantasy lineups coming off the extended absence. Pearsall will still make sense in plenty of fantasy lineups, though. He posted 4-108-0, 4-56-0, and 8-117-0 receiving lines over the first three weeks of the season.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) will start Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals, HC Kyle Shanahan said Thursday. Purdy's toe evidently responded well to the increased work in Wednesday's practice. It's worth remembering that Shanahan previously said that Purdy likely wouldn't be back to 100% at any point this season. Don't expect his rushing production to reach the 21.5 yards per game he averaged last year. But Purdy can still help fantasy teams the rest of the way. He tallied 277-2-2 and 309-2-2 passing lines in his only two games earlier this season. Purdy gets fine matchups the next two weeks against the Cardinals and Panthers, followed by a tougher draw vs. the Browns and then a Week 14 bye. Purdy then closes the season with three nice spots vs. the Titans, Colts, and Bears.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) got in a limited practice on Wednesday for the first time since going down in Week 4. HC Kyle Shanahan said before the workout that Pearsall is trending toward a return for Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals. "They told me he is healthy, so I'll see today from my own eyes when he practices, and I'm sure he'll look that way," Shanahan said. "As long as he does, then he is good to go." Pearsall was off to a strong start before the knee injury, posting 4-108-0, 4-56-0, and 8-117-0 receiving lines over the first three weeks of the season. It's worth noting that TE George Kittle missed two of those games and most of the third, and WR Jauan Jennings missed one. Pearsall will be returning to a more crowded pass-catching corps but should still have a big role if healthy. We'll look for more updates on his status but would consider him a risk/reward WR3 in Week 11 fantasy lineups for now.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) remained limited in Wednesday's practice. But HC Kyle Shanahan said before the workout that it'd be an "aggressive" practice for Purdy, with the goal of ramping him up to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. His availability will likely come down to how the toe responds to the increased work -- although Shanahan has already admitted that Purdy likely won't be back to 100% at any point this season. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days, but we're now projecting Purdy to start vs. the Cardinals on Sunday.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Rams. Multiple reports over the last couple days have Purdy potentially back for next week. But QB Mac Jones gets another start today.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) could return for next week's game vs. the Cardinals, according to NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. "He's getting closer," Garafolo says. "The 49ers want to make sure that he doesn't suffer another setback here. He's their franchise QB." Purdy has seemingly been close to a return for a few weeks now, so we wouldn't go locking him back into Week 11 fantasy lineups. But we'll keep tabs on his progress next week -- and see if he can get in some full practices after being limited the last few weeks.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) remained limited in practice all week and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. Purdy might be available as the backup, HC Kyle Shanahan said, but QB Mac Jones will get the start. Jones posted a 342-2-0 line vs. the Rams earlier this season, although it took him 49 attempts to get there.

49ers WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. He remained sidelined in practice all week. HC Kyle Shanahan said Friday that Pearsall still isn’t hitting his typical speeds on GPS and won’t be cleared to return until he does. Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne will again operate as San Francisco’s top two WRs this weekend.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) was once again limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said he'd like to get Purdy more first-team reps in practice this week but didn't say whether he has a chance to return for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. At this point, it seems more likely that QB Mac Jones gets another start. But we'll keep you updated on the situation.
