STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Purdy's efficient Week 1 sets up for more aggressive passing against Miami's rookie-laden secondary.

Purdy's Week 1 passer rating of 105.6 matched his career average of 104.0; he finished 12th in EPA per dropback and fourth in passing success rate despite lower yards per attempt. The source notes that short-yardage third downs (49ers averaged 3.17 yards to gain, best in the league) allowed Purdy to stay efficient. Against Miami's rookie-heavy secondary (439 snaps by rookies, 158 more than any other team), Purdy should see more aggressive opportunities and have time to throw, with the Dolphins generating pressure only 29% of the time against Cousins last week.
