Brock Purdy was awesome out of the gate for fantasy as the QB10 last week... Purdy also added five rushing attempts and 29 yards on the ground in Week 1. Purdy's rushing equity is also a nice cherry on top of the fantasy cake... Purdy should post strong QB1 numbers again this week. In Week 1, Miami allowed three passing scores to Kirk Cousins while generating pressure on only 6.5% of his dropbacks.

Purdy's QB10 finish with rushing upside projects to strong QB1 numbers vs. Miami.

Purdy finished as QB10 in Week 1 with strong underlying metrics: sixth-best in passing success rate, second in catchable target rate, and eighth in hero throw rate among 32 qualified passers, though he ranked 23rd in yards per attempt. He added five rushing attempts for 29 yards, providing rushing equity; in four of his nine games started last season, he had at least 20 rushing yards or a rushing score. The source projects strong QB1 numbers this week against Miami, which allowed three passing scores to Kirk Cousins while generating pressure on only 6.5% of his dropbacks, suggesting Purdy will enjoy clean pockets and favorable matchup conditions.
