Who Should I Start? Cooper Kupp or Ricky Pearsall

Wednesday, November 5, 8:09 PM

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Cooper Kupp (hamstring, heel) was unable to take part in Wednesday's practice session. Earlier in the day, head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters that Kupp would be limited in practice. Instead, Kupp sat out completely, which isn't a great sign to begin the week. The 32-year-old sat out of last week's win over the Washington Commanders. There's a chance he misses the Week 10 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals as well. The Seahawks have brought in reinforcements in the form of Rashid Shaheed. That being said, Shaheed could have a bigger role right away if Kupp is unable to play this weekend. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned throughout the week for more updates on Kupp.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) will not practice on Wednesday, per Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Pearsall has not practiced or played since spraining his PCL in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, and he doesn't appear to be on track to make his long-awaited return this weekend for the divisional battle against the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday in Week 10. The 25-year-old former first-rounder is still rostered in 77% of Yahoo leagues, but he's running out of time to make an impact this year for his fantasy managers. And at this point, it's fair to wonder if even Brandon Aiyuk (knee) will be back with the Niners before Pearsall. In his four games played in 2025, Pearsall has 20 receptions for 327 yards and no touchdowns. If Pearsall can't return this weekend, his next chance to play will come in Week 11 for another divisional affair against the Arizona Cardinals.
