Efficient QB with 40 TD upside; Mike Evans red zone boost offsets injury risk
Brock Purdy has ranked 8th, 10th, and 5th in adjusted points per game over the last three years, making him available at strong value in drafts. His injury history is a concern—he gets hurt frequently—but the source views his injuries similarly to Joe Burrow's: elevated bad luck rather than reckless play. Purdy will likely outperform his ADP. The 49ers signed Mike Evans, a red-zone superstar, creating upside if rushing touchdowns convert to passing touchdowns to Evans. Purdy is a highly efficient quarterback with significant upside this season; the source projects he could throw for 40 touchdowns given his career-long efficiency profile, the addition of Mike Evans as a red zone weapon, and the 49ers' scheme strength. The source identifies him as one of the favorite tier four quarterbacks for upside in single-QB redraft leagues.

Purdy's QB1 track record supports low-end QB1 ranking despite 2025 injury and receiver turnover.
Purdy's 2026 outlook is mixed: his pass-catching corps has been significantly restructured with Mike Evans arriving as the new No. 1 receiver and Christian Kirk added in free agency, while Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne departed. George Kittle is recovering from a torn Achilles and may not be ready for the season start. A nagging turf toe injury limited Purdy to nine starts in 2025, during which he threw 20 TDs but also 10 interceptions. Despite the injury and roster turnover, Purdy has ranked inside QB1 range in fantasy points per game in each of his three full seasons as a starter, warranting a low-end QB1 designation in 2026 drafts.
