Who Should I Start? Garrett Wilson or Ricky Pearsall

New York Jets wide receiver Garrett Wilson (knee) is expected to miss at least three to four weeks with a knee sprain that he suffered in Sunday's Week 10 victory over the Cleveland Browns, a source told Rich Cimini of ESPN. However, the good news is that Wilson won't require surgery. Wilson hyperextended his knee against the Denver Broncos on Oct. 12 in London and missed two games before returning to action on Sunday against Cleveland, only to suffer a setback with a knee sprain. The 25-year-old WR1 will now miss additional time, with fantasy managers now hoping he can return to contribute if they make the fantasy postseason (normally from Weeks 15-17). It's bad news for Wilson and the Jets' passing game, which has been the worst in football this year, averaging a league-low 148.8 passing yards per game. The Jets will ask Arian Smith, Tyler Johnson, John Metchie III, and Adonai Mitchell, among others, to step up with Wilson sidelined. None of those options is particularly intriguing for fantasy managers going forward. Running back Breece Hall led the Jets in receiving in Week 10 with a 42-yard reception that went for a touchdown.

The San Francisco 49ers are hoping to get wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) back at practice this week, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. The 49ers have been hopeful of getting Pearsall back from a PCL sprain that he suffered back in the Week 4 loss against the Jacksonville Jaguars for several weeks now, but it has not happened. The 25-year-old former first-rounder has not practiced or played since injuring his right knee, and even if he's able to get back onto the practice field this week, it doesn't mean he'll be active on Sunday for a Week 11 divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals. "Hopefully the next two days go good, and if they do, he'll be back out there. He had a good weekend," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. The Niners have been without both Pearsall and quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) since Week 4. When Pearsall does return, he could be the No. 3 target in the passing game behind Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle.
