PositiveProjectionOct 6, 2026
Brock Purdy is a top-seven QB with a favorable schedule through Week 10, though Hartitz ranks him lower this week due to a difficult matchup against Mike McDonald's Seahawks defense. Despite his incredible play and moving from a QB12 ADP to QB2 in PPG, Hartitz prefers starting Jared Goff over him this week.NegativeUsageSep 28, 2026
Purdy had a 45-yard touchdown run called back by a holding penalty on George Kittle downfield. However, he compensated two plays later with a touchdown pass to Kittle, so the fantasy point total was not significantly impacted despite losing the rushing TD.PositiveProjectionSep 26, 2026
Ian Hartitz argues that Brock Purdy is undervalued, noting he is the QB2 in fantasy points per game since Week 10 of last season, trailing only Josh Allen.

Additionally, Purdy holds the record for career yards per attempt and passer rating in the Super Bowl era among QBs with at least 500 attempts, proving his elite efficiency regardless of the system. His performance has remained high even when playmakers like Deebo Samuel and Trent Williams were sidelined, debunking narratives that he is merely a product of his supporting cast.PositiveProjectionSep 22, 2026

QB falling into late-round draft stages (rounds 12-13) and explicitly targeted by JJ Zachariason as a late-round option. Zachariason states he is comfortable going with just one quarterback if he can get Purdy this late, handling bye week management later.

Brock Purdy lasted until round 10 in Hartitz's mock draft, demonstrating strong ADP value for a starting quarterback. Hartitz adheres to his rule of not taking a QB before round 10 and selected Purdy at that stage. In a separate 104-pick mock, Hartitz paired Purdy with Christian McCaffrey in a QB-RB stack, noting 'if you're going to do one, I should probably be with those guys,' indicating strong conviction on the pairing and Purdy's value.PositiveValueAug 12, 2026
JJ Zachariason targets Brock Purdy as a late-round quarterback value, describing him as 'a bit of a teardrop' (a late-round value pick). Zachariason selects Purdy at pick 110, stating 'Sign me up there,' and feels comfortable with the selection because of his Mike Evans stack. He draws the line on quarterback selection around Lamar Jackson, with Purdy and Dak Prescott being his last two acceptable options, indicating he prefers waiting on the position and securing Purdy at his late ADP rather than reaching early.PositiveValueAug 5, 2026

Ian Hartitz ranks Brock Purdy as the QB4, arguing he is playing as well as any quarterback in the league and deserves MVP consideration. Purdy leads the league in EPA per play by a massive margin—the gap between him and the QB2 (Dak Prescott) is equivalent to the gap between Prescott and the QB14. Despite injury concerns to teammates like Mike Evans and Trent Williams, Hartitz maintains Purdy as a top-five play against the Broncos.PositiveValueNo date

Purdy is the top QB choice if taking a quarterback in the draft, as he's been top 10 in points per game each of the last three years with a strong surrounding core including Mike Evans, George Kittle, Christian McCaffrey, and Ricky Pearsall in Kyle Shanahan's offense.PositiveValueNo date
Brock Purdy is ranked QB10 in Ian Hartitz's rankings. Over his first four years in the league, he has posted QB11, QB7, QB13, and most recently QB4 in fantasy points per game, showing a strong finish to last season. Despite concerns about the 49ers' offensive weapons (Debo Samuel, Trent Williams, Ricky Pearsall, and George Kittle all dealing with injuries or availability issues), Purdy's efficiency in the system—ranked number one in the Super Bowl era in yards per attempt, passer rating, and pass success rate—makes him a value play. Hartitz argues that even if Purdy is a system QB, it's the best and most efficient system ever deployed, and fantasy scoring doesn't reward style points, making the discount in ADP attractive.
