Purdy ranks second in touchdown rate since being drafted in 2022 (6.2%), providing elite quarterback support for Evans' touchdown upside in San Francisco.PositiveProjectionJul 18, 2026

Brock Purdy is underestimated and underrated in fantasy football despite his four-year NFL career with great offensive weapons and Kyle Shanahan as playcaller. He represents a good pick and bargain at his current ADP.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026
Brock Purdy is the most underrated quarterback in football. Since 2023, his 18.5 fantasy points per game rank sixth-best among all signal callers; last year, despite injuries to all pass-catchers, he averaged 19.7 fantasy points per contest (QB6). On 200 dropbacks with both George Kittle and Ricky Pearsall off the field, he completed 68.1% of passes, averaged 7.7 yards per attempt, 1.67 passing touchdowns per game and 0.60 fantasy points per dropback. In 2024, with both McCaffrey and Brandon Aiyuk off the field on 525 dropbacks, he completed 66% of passes while averaging 8.5 yards per attempt, 257.6 passing yards per game and 0.51 fantasy points per dropback. Being drafted as QB12 feels too low, especially with the 49ers upgrading from Jauan Jennings to Mike Evans this offseason. Over the past two seasons, Purdy has averaged about four carries and nearly 20 rushing yards per game, and is averaging nearly four rushing fantasy points per game during that stretch. His Week 15-17 stretch last year showed 31.3 FPPG (QB2), 9% scramble rate (QB4), 6% designed rush rate (QB9), and 27.8 rushing yards per game (QB9). He is a very good QB and a mid-range QB1 for fantasy.PositiveProjectionJul 15, 2026
Purdy is perhaps the most underrated quarterback in both real and fantasy football. Since 2023, his 18.5 fantasy points per game rank sixth-best among all signal callers. Last year, despite injuries to all of his pass-catchers, Purdy still averaged 19.7 fantasy points per contest (QB6). Often drafted around QB12, Purdy is viewed as a top-10 option at the position.
