Who Should I Start? A.J. Brown or Ricky Pearsall

Saturday, November 8, 4:20 PM

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring) is off the final injury report ahead of Monday night's primetime matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Brown missed Philadelphia's Week 8 win over the New York Giants due to the hamstring injury, but had the Week 9 bye to rest and practiced in full every day this week. The star wideout posted his best game of the season last time he suited up in Week 7 against the Minnesota Vikings, catching four of his six targets for 121 yards and two touchdowns. That marked Brown's first two-touchdown game since Week 8 of the 2023 season. The 28-year-old has had a disappointing season to date, but could be in for a big second half as Jalen Hurts and the Eagles' passing game have gotten rolling. Brown ranks as RotoBaller's WR9 in PPR leagues for Monday night against the Packers.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) has been running, but he hasn't quite been cleared to make his return after spraining his PCL in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. "He can run and hit certain speeds. But he hasn't been able to hit his normal speeds that would allow him to come back. We're waiting until he hits his markers," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. Pearsall was officially ruled out for Week 10 this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, his sixth straight absence. The 25-year-old was a popular breakout candidate during training camp and the preseason this year, with Brandon Aiyuk (knee) recovering from a torn ACL and MCL, but injury issues of his own have limited him to just four games, and he's running out of time to make an impact for his fantasy managers. Pearsall must get back on the practice field next week to have a chance at playing in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals.
