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.

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.

Purdy enters his fifth season with a dramatically different receiving corps. George Kittle remains but is recovering from an Achilles injury. Christian McCaffrey returns after a 2,126-scrimmage-yard, 17-TD 2025 season. At wideout, Mike Evans and Christian Kirk replace departing veterans Jauan Jennings and Kendrick Bourne; Brandon Aiyuk is also leaving. Rookie De'Zhaun Stribling (first-round pick) could develop into an increasingly important role. Third-year receivers Ricky Pearsall and Jacob Cowing round out the group.
