The Seahawks, boasting the league's fourth-highest pressure rate at 43.0 percent, will pose a challenge... They held each of Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, and Justin Herbert under 10 fantasy points while creating seven total turnovers against them... Purdy himself struggled against the Seahawks in their two meetings last season, scoring 21.96 total fantasy points while committing three turnovers... I expect Purdy to fall outside the top 10.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalMatchup

Seahawks' elite pass rush and Purdy's poor history vs. them suggest top-10 miss.

Despite an MVP-caliber start (11 touchdown passes, 1 interception, QB2 overall at 25.1 points per game), Purdy faces a challenging matchup against Seattle's fourth-highest pressure rate (43.0 percent). The Seahawks held Drake Maye, Jacoby Brissett, and Justin Herbert each under 10 fantasy points while creating seven turnovers. Purdy himself struggled against Seattle in two meetings last season, scoring 21.96 total fantasy points with three turnovers. The source expects Purdy to fall outside the top 10 despite his QB8 Footballguys projection (17.9 points), noting the Seahawks' ability to suppress him and force interceptions.
