Brock Purdy is the source's annual favorite sleeper QB and a core part of its QB pairing strategy; he is taken in Round 10 or later and paired with another QB for streaming purposes. Bo Nix is identified as Purdy's perfect partner based on schedule alignment, with outstanding matchups at ideal times in Weeks 2, 6, and 14, plus a favorable Cowboys matchup during Nix's Week 10 bye. Purdy's only weak point in the Nix pairing is Nix facing the Chiefs during Purdy's Week 8 bye.

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.
