Returns to lead team in receiving Pearsall (ankle/knee) had five receptions on eight targets for 85 yards in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.

Impact Pearsall returned from a one-game absence to lead the 49ers in receiving yards while finishing second behind TE Jake Tonges in targets (eight) and receptions (seven). The 24-year-old Pearsall's second return from injury this season came at an opportune time, as the 49ers were without the services of star TE George Kittle (ankle), who was also shelved for the second time this year following last week's win. Pearsall is averaging 5.5 receptions and 90.5 yards in two active games since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, making him a solid fantasy play against the Seahawks in Week 18.

Season-high 140 rushing yards McCaffrey took 23 carries for 140 yards and a touchdown while corralling four of six targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 42-38 win over the Bears.

Impact McCaffrey shouldered a heavier load on offense with star TE George Kittle (ankle) missing in action Sunday, resulting in a season-high 140 rushing yards from CMC. The 29-year-old's scamper to the end zone in the second quarter brought him up to an even 10 rushing scores on the year. McCaffrey has reached double-digit rushing touchdowns three times in his storied career, accomplishing the feat twice as a member of the 49ers. The versatile tailback's modest receiving totals on SNF puts a potential 1,000-1,000 season in jeopardy, as he would need 110 receiving yards in Week 18 in order to accomplish the incredible feat for the second time in his career. Fantasy managers should expect a heavy dose of the fantasy stud against the Seahawks with the NFC's No. 1 seed and a first-round bye on the line in the regular-season finale.

4 Takeaways From the 49ers' Win Over the Bears

Another five-TD performance Purdy completed 24 of 33 pass attempts for 303 yards, three touchdowns and one interception while taking six carries for 28 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 42-38 win over Chic...

Impact Purdy followed up his career game against the Colts on Monday Night Football in Week 16 (295 yards, five TD passes) by dropping another five-score bonanza on the Bears in consecutive primetime victories. The 25-year-old looked Mahomes-esque in the third quarter while dancing through multiple defenders behind the line of scrimmage before ultimately dumping it off to an open Kyle Juszczyk for the second of three touchdown strikes. Purdy's improved movement and gaudy passing numbers since the 49ers' Week 14 bye (297.7 passing yards/game with 15 total TDs in three starts) indicate that the signal-caller is finally fully healed from the turf toe injury that derailed the earlier portions of his 2025 campaign. With the 12-4 49ers needing just one win to secure the No. 1 seed in the NFC and a first-round bye, fantasy managers can expect to see Purdy's best against the Seahawks in Week 18.
