Fantasy Football Player Notes

Purdy hasn't flashed a massive ceiling, with only one 20-plus fantasy point game this season as the starter. Still, with multiple passing touchdowns and a season-high 284 passing yards in Week 17, it's also arguable that we haven't seen his absolute ceiling yet. Purdy ranks 18th in PFF passing grade, fifth in yards per attempt, and tenth in adjusted completion rate (minimum 100 dropbacks). The Cardinals could elicit a huge performance from Purdy. Since Week 12, they have been 21st in success rate per dropback and 15th in passing yards per game. The 49ers' passing attack is built upon creating after the catch, and there's no defense in the NFL that's allowed receivers to do this more. Arizona ranks 32nd in YAC and 28th in missed tackles allowed.
