When everyone is healthy, it wouldn't be overly surprising if he barely cleared the 5.1 targets per game he had last season, but when even one of them is sidelined, Pearsall does have the skill set to be a higher-volume player for a stretch. There is a very clear path to him hitting as a sleeper.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalSleeper

Pearsall is WR34 sleeper with clear path to volume if teammates injured.

Pearsall is ranked WR34 (78th overall) and has a clear path to hitting as a sleeper despite injury setbacks (shot, PCL injury). When healthy, he moves well on crossing and deep out routes and excels against off coverage with deceleration and quick breaks on play-action. The addition of Mike Evans should solidify his role as an intermediate and sideline-based player while Evans works vertically. Though Evans, Kittle, and McCaffrey have injury histories, when any are sidelined, Pearsall has the skill set to be a higher-volume player. His floor was established last year as WR55 on WR55 usage while playing on 1.5 legs, averaging 10.0 YPT (outstanding mark) with zero TDs.
