Brock Purdy
QB - San Francisco 49ers
Brock Purdy completed 9-of-12 pass attempts for 96 yards and one interception in the 49ers' 24-24 tie with the Raiders Friday.
Fantasy Impact
Purdy has had mixed results in limited game action behind center this preseason, but should once again provide solid production leading a San Francisco offense with plenty of weapons led by Deebo Samuel, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Brandon Aiyuk.
Brock Purdy completed 2-of-6 pass attempts for 11 yards in the 49ers’ 16-10 win over the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Purdy saw limited playing time, but did not look sharp on any of his throws. It would not be a major surprise if the team allows Purdy to play a bit longer in the final preseason game to work out any issues before Week 1. He currently ranks as the QB12 in PPR ECR, according to FantasyPros.
Brock Purdy is expected to start in Sunday's preseason game against the Saints.
Fantasy Impact
Purdy and the 49ers starters are expected to play one or two series after none of them played in the preseason opener. That is the expectation, but it isn't locked in. “Right now we plan on Brock going, but that could change,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said.
San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has been working on adding velocity to his passes this offseason.
Fantasy Impact
Purdy spent time this offseason perfecting mechanics to help him add speed to his throws. Given that he did not have to rehab or fight for a roster spot this offseason, Purdy had the chance to work on improving his own game for the first time in his career. He also used the offseason to add some necessary weight to his frame to help him last through the difficulties of an NFL season. Purdy could continue to thrive in San Fran's offense in 2024, being drafted on average as the QB11, according to FantasyPros data.
Brock Purdy will sit on Sunday against the Rams.
Fantasy Impact
With the 49ers' having clinched the No. 1 seed in the NFC, Purdy will sit. He'll have two weeks off between Week 18 and the wildcard round of the playoffs. It will be Sam Darnold under center for San Francisco.
