Who Should I Start? Pat Freiermuth or Ricky Pearsall

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Pat Freiermuth (quad) was unable to take the field during Wednesday's practice. Freiermuth appears to have picked up a quad injury during the Week 8 loss to the Green Bay Packers. He did leave the game in the third quarter, but returned and finished out the contest. That being said, this seems like something Freiermuth can play through, but his status will need to be monitored throughout the week. If he sits, Jonnu Smith and Darnell Washington will become more appealing streaming options for the Week 9 matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Ricky Pearsall (knee) was unable to practice on Wednesday. Pearsall continues struggling to recover from a knee issue that has kept him sidelined since he suffered the injury Week 4. The 49ers haven't given a clear timetable on Pearsall, but they haven't placed him on the injured reserve. That being said, Pearsall figures to return sooner rather than later. Fantasy managers will need to stay tuned for more updates throughout the week. However, the fact Pearsall isn't even limited in practice isn't a good sign heading into the Week 9 matchup against the New York Giants.
