Despite three straight top-10 fantasy QB seasons, Brock Purdy will once again be drafted outside the QB1 range, making him a safer QB punt with upside as seen in 2025.PositiveProjectionAug 24, 2026
Brock Purdy holds the NFL career record in yards per attempt (ahead of Tom Brady and Joe Montana), and the Kyle Shanahan system is built to sustain his efficiency. His 21+ PPG in 2025 was not driven by luck: he played zero games versus a bottom-five fantasy QB defense and had the lowest percentage of QB yards coming after the catch, indicating his production is scheme-dependent and repeatable.NegativeProjectionAug 21, 2026
Purdy and the 49ers starting offense had a 10-play drive to start preseason Week 2, with Deebo Samuel Sr. and Demarcus Robinson opening in 2-WR sets while De'Zhaun Stribling played in 3-WR sets.NegativeProjectionAug 18, 2026
Purdy is the quarterback for the 49ers, a consistently efficient offense that throws plenty of touchdowns, which supports De'Zhaun Stribling's breakout potential.PositiveProjectionAug 17, 2026

Purdy is highlighted as excellent late-round quarterback value, available well outside the top-100 picks in round 12 (pick 140). He has finished as a top-12 fantasy quarterback multiple times in the past. The source emphasizes that unless you're in a superflex league, don't feel compelled to draft quarterbacks ahead of ADP, as names like Purdy, Bo Nix, Jared Goff, and Kyler Murray offer strong value in the late rounds.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026
Purdy has averaged top-12 fantasy stats for three straight campaigns, including the second-most at the position (22.7 FPPG) during an injury-shortened 2025 season. He was the hottest fantasy quarterback down the stretch last year, averaging 28.3 points per game over the final five weeks of the fantasy calendar—more than any other passer. Purdy has proven himself as a reliable fantasy starter with a surprising ceiling despite injury concerns in San Francisco.PositiveProjectionAug 10, 2026

Brock Purdy receives a yellow light at his Yahoo ADP, indicating the source has mixed or cautious views on his current draft position among top-12 QB options—neither a clear buy nor a clear fade.PositiveValueAug 6, 2026
Purdy is one of the closest QBs to his projected finish at 99th ADP vs. 100th projected overall, making him a nice value target.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Purdy was headed for a monster year last season but was screened by injury. Mapping his nine games to a full season yields 4,093 passing yards and 37 touchdown passes; he was fifth in QB points per start. The source puts a star next to his current QB14 price as a great value in a deep QB pool.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Brock Purdy had a pair of top-three weekly QB scoring outings in 2025, demonstrating that late-round QB picks can match elite production on a weekly basis; Purdy's multiple ceiling games support the late-round QB strategy's viability despite not being drafted as a premium option.PositiveProjectionAug 5, 2026
Purdy is cited as QB13 with 4 weeks with a top-12 finish in 2025. The source uses him as an example of a Late-Round QB strategy option, showing that elite QBs outside the top 12 can still deliver QB1 weeks and support the strategy of waiting on QB.NegativeProjectionAug 4, 2026
49ers QB at ADP 98.9 has lost all three top wide receivers from last season (Jauan Jennings, Kendrick Bourne, Ricky Pearsall) and is currently down a slew of 2026 starters due to injuries (Pearsall season-ending, Mike Evans quad strain, Christian Kirk calf strain). Source questions whether Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle are enough to carry Purdy and passing game if WRs remain unavailable, and wonders whether injury issues will affect Purdy's fantasy outlook.PositiveValueAug 4, 2026
The source identifies Purdy as one of the best values in the 73rd to 120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues) for QB. Purdy has been a top-12 option in his career and leads an offense that is first in projected points per the live betting markets, offering significant upside.PositiveProjectionAug 4, 2026
Purdy is mentioned twice in the value analysis: first as one of the young dual-threat QBs in the 73rd-120th overall range (Round 7-10 in 12-team leagues) who have been top-12 options in their careers and added the best receiver of their careers to the offense (Mike Evans). He's also listed among Matthew Stafford, Jared Goff and Jordan Love as QBs leading offenses that are first, fourth and eighth in projected points per live betting markets, making him a value option in that range.NegativeProjectionAug 3, 2026
The 49ers' injury issues on offense—including losses of Pearsall and Kittle, quad strain for Evans, and hamstring tightness for Stribling—have analysts questioning Purdy as a proactive late-round QB pick; the team's failure to stay healthy and aging skill player roster compound the concern.NegativeRoleAug 3, 2026
Purdy is the 49ers' quarterback and will be throwing to Jake Tonges, who could be a solid red-zone target alongside Mike Evans and Christian McCaffrey.PositiveValueAug 3, 2026
Purdy falls even further in ADP than Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen, with scramble rates and passing efficiency that make him an arbitrage play. The source highlights him as part of a tier of QBs that allows drafters to add more strength to their roster elsewhere before focusing on positions that only require a single weekly starter.PositiveProjectionJul 29, 2026
Purdy is a particularly interesting late-round selection after injuries cost him time in 2025. Despite the missed games, he has been a top-12 fantasy QB on a per-game basis for three consecutive seasons and now gets Mike Evans added to his arsenal. Pairing him with Trevor Lawrence (Round 10) creates a cost-effective QB room with elite upside, as both finished as top-six QBs in fppg last year and were among the hottest quarterbacks down the stretch.PositiveProjectionJul 28, 2026
Pianowski tiers Purdy at $14 salary in Legitimate Building Blocks tier. Purdy would be a little higher if his supporting cast were a little younger — primary weapons Christian McCaffrey, Mike Evans and George Kittle are all 30-something, and we can't be sure Kittle will be September-ready. But Purdy's efficiency has always leapt off the page since turning pro, and Pianowski could see a breakout coming from third-year wideout Ricky Pearsall.PositiveProjectionNo date
