All Fantasy Footballers insights about Brock Purdy
PositiveProjectionOct 7, 2026
Brock Purdy is ranked second among quarterbacks at the quarter mark of the season, delivering elite production.PositiveProjectionSep 30, 2026
The source believes Purdy will be fantastic; he is the only quarterback in the NFL who has not been sacked one time through three weeks. While his name value doesn't match elite tier like Lamar Jackson, the source suggests showing fantasy points rather than relying on name recognition when evaluating trade value, implying his production justifies keeping him.NegativeValueSep 30, 2026
The source recommends trading away Brock Purdy despite his current performance, arguing he is overperforming and will not finish as QB2 rest of season due to injuries around him at wide receiver; the strategic move is to trade him for assets to fix the rest of the roster, since quarterback can be streamed off waivers. While Purdy is an easy top-10 guy and top-5 is not outrageous, he is far more expendable than his current production suggests, and most managers are unlikely to pay number-two quarterback prices for him.PositiveProjectionSep 28, 2026
Brock Purdy was the number one scoring quarterback this week; hyper efficient with very good snap share percentage. The source notes he is slicing and dicing defenses regardless of receiver availability.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
The 49ers' leading receiver did not have a catch in Week 3; Debo Samuel led the team in receiving with 80 yards, which came via a hook-and-ladder play rather than traditional receiving.PositiveMatchupSep 25, 2026
Brock Purdy is one of the few quarterbacks the source would play over Drake Maye, alongside other waiver-wire pickups.PositiveProjectionSep 24, 2026
The source selects Brock Purdy as a start of the week for the second consecutive week against Arizona; he leads quarterbacks in EPA per play, is an eight-and-a-half point home favorite, and executes with perfect efficiency through surgical processing and ball placement rather than arm strength. Currently at 8.9% touchdown pass rate (above his historical 7% baseline) with room to regress and still perform at an elite level. No Demarcus Robinson, Christian Kirk, or Mike Evans availability is immaterial to his outlook.PositiveValueSep 22, 2026
Brock Purdy is considered a great pickup on the waiver wire, though the source notes that Tyler Shuck is currently performing better for fantasy purposes.PositiveProjectionSep 21, 2026
Brock Purdy had an incredibly efficient game, finishing as a top-five scorer, and is a strong start for next week against the Dolphins.PositiveProjectionSep 17, 2026
The source identifies Brock Purdy as a start of the week for his matchup against the Dolphins, citing his performance since returning from injury in week 11 of last year, where he ranked as the QB3 in fantasy points per game.PositiveValueSep 16, 2026
Brock Purdy is recommended as a waiver wire pickup to replace struggling quarterbacks like Bo Nix, noting he was drafted in 82% of leagues.PositiveProjectionSep 15, 2026
Brock Purdy is a recommended quarterback stream for Week 2. He is described as a highly efficient quarterback in a perfect system with a favorable matchup against Miami.NegativeMatchupSep 9, 2026
In three starts against the Rams, Purdy has averaged only 213 passing yards; source is 'not really, really excited about the 49ers pass catchers in general' for this specific matchup and would prefer Matthew Stafford or Jackson Dart over Purdy.NegativeProjectionJul 25, 2026
The source projects Brock Purdy could throw for 4,400–4,500 yards and 37 touchdowns, a surprisingly high touchdown total. Purdy has maintained a 7% touchdown rate (outlier territory) in three of his four seasons as a starter, aided by Christian McCaffrey's receiving touchdowns and the 49ers' efficient red-zone offense. The source likes him as a late-round quarterback with upside, though injury risk and turnover management remain concerns.PositiveRoleJul 25, 2026
The source believes Purdy could have his best receiving corps yet with the additions of Mike Evans and Ricky Pearsall (if healthy), plus Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk; the 49ers also drafted Dijon Stribling high, and several teams including the Rams had Stribling ranked as the best wide receiver in the draft.NegativeInjuryJul 25, 2026
Injury is a significant concern for Purdy; he has been injured frequently, and the source notes that managing his gunslinger abilities is critical because if he turns the ball over or takes sacks, the 49ers' strong supporting cast may cause the team to pull back on his aggressive play.PositiveProjectionJul 25, 2026
The source projects Brock Purdy could throw for 4,400-4,500 yards and a surprisingly high amount of touchdowns, potentially 37 touchdowns; Purdy has maintained a 7% touchdown rate (outlier territory) in three of his four seasons, aided by Christian McCaffrey's receiving touchdowns and the 49ers' high-efficiency offense.NegativeUsageNo date
