Purdy completed 27 of 40 passes for 288 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, an EPA per pass of -0.06, and a passer rating of 75.8. Not what you want from a guy who was a legit NFL Most Valuable Player candidate in the first four weeks of the season, and this is not a throwaway one-week negative blip.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

Purdy's post-Week 5 slump shows sharp decline in efficiency and decision-making.

Purdy's performance has deteriorated sharply since Week 5. Through his first four games, he was an MVP candidate; over the last three games, his splits show a dramatic decline. Against the Falcons' 11th-ranked defense in Week 7, he completed 27 of 40 passes for 288 yards, one touchdown, two interceptions, an EPA per pass of -0.06, and a passer rating of 75.8—a significant drop from his hot start. The source notes this is not a one-week blip but a concerning trend, though it acknowledges that missing receivers (Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel, Demarcus Robinson) and communication gaps with new targets have compounded the issue.
