Yahoo Sports fantasy analyst Andy Behrens explains why the 49ers receiver is worth a last-minute move into your lineup this week.

Yeah, Ricky Piersall has an incredible opportunity ahead of him with Brandon Auk out for the season.
Both Debo Samuel and Juan Jennings still battling injury.
Pierceall available in about 65% of Yahoo Leagues right now.
Let’s remember that he gave us 77 scrimmage yards on five touches before the Niners by while catching all of his targets.
He’s also played, he also played 40 snaps in that game.
So playing time wasn’t really an issue.
We always need to be cognizant of the possibility that a rookie receiver can have a more significant role coming out of a bi week too.
Also, Pierceall was drafted as a potential IU replacement you might recall and that is now exactly what this team needs matchups.
Don’t get a whole lot friendlier than Tampa Bay.
That’s a defense that ranks 30th against the pass on the season and it’s given up 18 passing touchdowns already.
If we get another five or six opportunities funneled to Pierce, all that’s all I’m asking for.
He is definitely gonna make some fantasy noise.
