Yahoo Sports NFL on Brock Purdy

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 matches his career average of 104.0; despite lower yards per attempt due to Kyle Shanahan's short-passing game plan against the Rams, Purdy finished 12th in EPA per dropback and fourth in passing success rate. Against Miami's rookie-heavy secondary (439 rookie snaps, most in the league), Purdy should see more aggressive downfield opportunities and comfortable time to throw, as the Dolphins' pass rush generated pressure only 29% of the time against Kirk Cousins.
