Purdy was the QB17 with 16.2 fantasy points in Week 5 against Seattle, serving as the closer comp for Caleb Williams' potential output against the Seahawks' elite defense.NegativeProjectionOct 25, 2026
Purdy had a respectable day despite severe receiver injuries (27-of-40, 288 yards, 1 TD, 2 INTs) in a short-week, 10 a.m. body clock game against Atlanta; the 49ers had six receivers inactive or on IR, forcing Purdy to work with Jordan Watkins, Jacob Cowing, and Christian Kirk in limited roles.NegativeProjectionOct 23, 2026
It's a short turnaround week and the 49ers might not have veteran WR Mike Evans. The endless parade of receiver injuries has to affect the octane of this offense. San Francisco figures to work the phones aggressively as teams navigate through trade season.PositiveProjectionOct 22, 2026

Purdy played well in the first half and has performed consistently all season. However, the 49ers' depleted receiver room became a limiting factor in the second half, particularly after Evans' injury, forcing Purdy to operate without his top target and contributing to the offense stalling.PositiveProjectionOct 19, 2026
Brock Purdy has 13 passing touchdowns through five weeks, leading the NFL after Week 5, and is in early conversation for MVP. The 49ers offense has been fantastic overall, and Purdy's performance has been a key driver of the team's 5-0 record.PositiveProjectionOct 14, 2026

Brock Purdy ranks second in rest-of-season trade value at 217, establishing him as the clear second-tier quarterback option behind Josh Allen.NegativeMatchupOct 9, 2026
The Seattle defense has proven Purdy's Kryptonite. Purdy faced the Seahawks twice last January (once in the playoffs) and it was a nightmare: just nine total points, zero touchdowns, a piddly 267 passing yards. The Seattle defense is once again shredding (a scant 5.2 YPA allowed, just 144.8 yards per game), so this might be the one time you bench Purdy.NegativeProjectionOct 8, 2026

The source highlights Brock Purdy as a potential QB1 option in fantasy for Week 4, suggesting elite quarterback production from the 49ers signal-caller.NegativeProjectionOct 1, 2026
Ranked 7th in Week 4 QB rankings with 19.8 projected points vs. Denver. The source notes Purdy would be MVP so far with excellent timing and trust in the offense; he trails only Josh Allen in fantasy points per game since 2025 (22.3 FPPG). Purdy is an underrated playmaker deserving complete fantasy respect. The 49ers offense has not allowed a sack in the first three games, joining only four Dan Marino and two Peyton Manning offenses in NFL history. Challenges may arise if Mike Evans joins injured players on the sideline, but Kyle Shanahan's depth and Trent Williams' presence mitigate concern.NegativeProjectionSep 30, 2026
Purdy has been exceptional through three weeks with a 133.1 rating, just one interception, zero sacks, and 9.5 YPA; he has value as a runner too, and while the schedule isn't great, he can beat the slate through decision-making, accuracy, athleticism, and Kyle Shanahan's creative schemes. The main concern is receiver injuries and Mike Evans' durability, but Dj Moore would 'follow Purdy into a burning building.'PositiveValueSep 30, 2026

Brock Purdy has 20.3 projected points in Week 3 against Arizona. The 49ers allow the fewest quick pressures in the NFL (8 through 2 weeks), demonstrating the effectiveness of Kyle Shanahan's offensive scheme in protecting the QB.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
Ranked 5th in Week 3. Despite an injured and limited supporting cast, Purdy continues to put up fantasy points consistently. The Cardinals are one of the league's worst pass defenses through the first two weeks.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026
Purdy is playing well and keeping the 49ers offense afloat despite receiver injuries already piling up. The 49ers have dominated their first two opponents with a +42 point differential and only two negative plays all season, the fewest for a team this century through two games.PositiveProjectionSep 18, 2026
Purdy has quickly become one of the most consistent fantasy quarterbacks. He threw three TDs against the Rams in Week 1; the Dolphins defense just allowed Kirk Cousins to toss three scores, suggesting Purdy should have no issues in this matchup.PositiveMatchupSep 18, 2026

Purdy threw for three touchdowns against the Rams' well-regarded defense in Week 1 and faces the Dolphins in Week 2, who allowed Kirk Cousins three touchdowns; despite 49ers jet lag from Australia, Purdy should produce similar or better output against Miami's weaker defense.PositiveValueSep 16, 2026

Ranked 17th in the source's Week 1 fantasy QB rankings, playing on the road at Los Angeles Rams; status flagged for double-check before kickoff.NegativeMatchupSep 8, 2026
Purdy is facing a tough matchup against a Rams defense that added Myles Garrett, Aaron Donald and Trent McDuffie to the fold, among others, during the offseason. He also has a new-look receiving corps, highlighted by Mike Evans and De'Zhaun Stribling, and is set to play his season opener in Australia. The source recommends waiting and seeing what Purdy can do before starting him in Week 1.PositiveProjectionSep 4, 2026
Brock Purdy ranks eleventh in the source's Top 32 QB rankings for 2026 fantasy football, indicating mid-tier quarterback projection.PositiveValueSep 4, 2026

Scott Pianowski drafted Brock Purdy in Round 11 as part of a late-QB strategy; streaming Purdy and Jordan Love based on matchups will lead to a top-10 scoring QB this year without spending up early, demonstrating the viability of waiting on QB until Round 11+.PositiveValueSep 3, 2026
Brock Purdy is identified by Joel Smyth as a high-volume QB2 with money value in late rounds; Smyth recommends targeting these high-volume QB2s in rounds 3-5 rather than reaching for QB early.NegativeRoleSep 2, 2026
JJ Zachariason selected Brock Purdy as his QB in the mock draft, positioning him as the signal-caller supporting the roster's skill position players, particularly Brock Bowers at TE.NegativeProjectionSep 1, 2026
Purdy had a torrid stretch during last year's fantasy playoffs, reminding managers not to discount him as potential top-tier fantasy talent. However, the source recommends targeting him as a steady streamer best trusted when not facing elite defenses, against which he typically struggles. The 49ers' receiving corps injuries—Ricky Pearsall out for the year and veterans Mike Evans and George Kittle recovering early in the season—could limit his ceiling.NegativeValueAug 31, 2026
The source identifies Purdy as a fine option in Round 10 alongside Bo Nix for waiting on QB, as the position is incredibly flat and deep. The source chooses Nix over Purdy.NegativeProjectionAug 30, 2026
Ranked 13th overall in Tier IV – Overflow QB1s; positioned as a lower-tier QB1 option for 2026 fantasy drafts.NegativeValueAug 28, 2026
Brock Purdy has an XRank almost identical to his ADP; ADP is 98.4 vs. XRank of 95.8 vs. Winks' rank of 102. The source identifies him as a QB target whose valuation is properly aligned between ADP and expert consensus, making him a reasonable QB selection.PositiveValueAug 24, 2026
Despite three straight top-10 fantasy QB seasons, Brock Purdy will once again be drafted outside the QB1 range, making him a safer QB punt with upside as seen in 2025.PositiveProjectionAug 24, 2026
Brock Purdy holds the NFL career record in yards per attempt (ahead of Tom Brady and Joe Montana), and the Kyle Shanahan system is built to sustain his efficiency. His 21+ PPG in 2025 was not driven by luck: he played zero games versus a bottom-five fantasy QB defense and had the lowest percentage of QB yards coming after the catch, indicating his production is scheme-dependent and repeatable.NegativeProjectionAug 21, 2026
Purdy and the 49ers starting offense had a 10-play drive to start preseason Week 2, with Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson opening in 2-WR sets while De'Zhaun Stribling played in 3-WR sets.NegativeProjectionAug 18, 2026

Brock Purdy is rated as low-end QB1, reflecting solid fantasy expectations and consistent production in the 49ers' offense.PositiveValueAug 11, 2026
Purdy is highlighted as excellent late-round quarterback value, available well outside the top-100 picks in round 12 (pick 140). He has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback multiple times in the past. The source emphasizes that unless you're in a superflex league, don't feel compelled to draft quarterbacks ahead of ADP, as names like Purdy, Bo Nix, Jared Goff, and Kyler Murray offer strong value in the late rounds.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026
Purdy has averaged top-12 fantasy stats for three straight campaigns, including the second-most at the position (22.7 FPPG) during an injury-shortened 2025 season. He was the hottest fantasy quarterback down the stretch last year, averaging 28.3 points per game over the final five weeks of the fantasy calendar—more than any other passer. Purdy has proven himself as a reliable fantasy starter with a surprising ceiling despite injury concerns in San Francisco.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026

Purdy is one of the closest QBs to his projected finish at 99th ADP vs. 100th projected overall, making him a nice value target.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Purdy was headed for a monster year last season but was screened by injury. Mapping his nine games to a full season yields 4,093 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes; he was fifth in QB points per start. The source puts a star next to his current QB14 price as a great value in a deep QB pool.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Brock Purdy had a pair of top-three weekly QB scoring outings in 2025, demonstrating that late-round QB picks can match elite production on a weekly basis; Purdy's multiple ceiling games support the late-round QB strategy's viability despite not being drafted as a premium option.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Purdy is cited as QB13 with 4 weeks with a top-12 finish in 2025. The source uses him as an example of a Late-Round QB strategy option, showing that elite QBs outside the top 12 can still deliver QB1 weeks and support the strategy of waiting on QB.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
49ers QB at ADP 98.9 has lost all three top wide receivers from last season (Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, Ricky Pearsall) and is currently down a slew of 2026 starters due to injuries (Pearsall season-ending, Mike Evans quad strain, Christian Kirk calf strain). Source questions whether Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle are enough to carry Purdy and passing game if WRs remain unavailable, and wonders whether injury issues will affect Purdy's fantasy outlook.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
The source identifies Purdy as one of the best values in the 73rd to 120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues) for QB. Purdy has been a top-12 option in his career and leads an offense that is first in projected points per the live betting markets, offering significant upside.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Purdy is mentioned twice in the value analysis: first as one of the young dual-threat QBs in the 73rd-120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues) who have been top-12 options in their careers and added the best receiver of their careers to the offense (Mike Evans). He's also listed among Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff and Jordan Love as QBs leading offenses that are first, fourth and eighth in projected points per live betting markets, making him a value option in that range.NegativeProjectionAug 3, 2026
The 49ers' injury issues on offense—including losses of Pearsall and Kittle, quad strain for Evans, and hamstring tightness for Stribling—have analysts questioning Purdy as a proactive late-round QB pick; the team's failure to stay healthy and aging skill player roster compound the concern.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Purdy is the 49ers' quarterback and will be throwing to Jake Tonges, who could be a solid red-zone target alongside Mike Evans and Christian McCaffrey.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
Purdy falls even further in ADP than Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen, with scramble rates and passing efficiency that make him an arbitrage play. The source highlights him as part of a tier of QBs that allows drafters to add more strength to their roster elsewhere before focusing on positions that only require a single weekly starter.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
Purdy is a particularly interesting late-round selection after injuries cost him time in 2025. Despite the missed games, he has been a top-12 fantasy QB on a per-game basis for three consecutive seasons and now gets Mike Evans added to his arsenal. Pairing him with Trevor Lawrence (Round 10) creates a cost-effective QB room with elite upside, as both finished as top-six QBs in fppg last year and were among the hottest quarterbacks down the stretch.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Purdy at $14 salary in Legitimate Building Blocks tier. Purdy would be a little higher if his supporting cast were a little younger — primary weapons Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans and George Kittle are all 30-something, and we can't be sure Kittle will be September-ready. But Purdy's efficiency has always leapt off the page since turning pro, and Pianowski could see a breakout coming from third-year wideout Ricky Pearsall.PositiveProjectionNo date
