Should You Start or Sit Ricky Pearsall in Week 13?
For a minute, it looked like the duel for the WR2 role in this offense was going to be competitive between Ricky Pearsall and Jauan Jennings, but that is no longer the case. The rookie has earned just two targets (zero receptions) on his 44 routes over the past two weeks and there are no signs of production looming, even if Brock Purdy is back under center.
With four players now clearly ahead of him in this passing game, there is no reason to keep the light on for Pearsall. I’m far more likely to target offenses in Green Bay or Carolina that have a less solidified hierarchy when it comes to opportunity count and would suggest you do the same.
