Brock Purdy

Purdy might be the QB19 in fantasy, but that doesn't mean that he's playing bad football. Actually, it's quite the opposite. Among 34 qualifying quarterbacks, Purdy is fifth in yards per attempt, sixth in CPOE, and 12th in hero throw rate. Purdy could put up solid QB1 numbers this week. The Rams have allowed the highest yards per attempt, the ninth-most passing yards per game, and the third-highest passer rating. Purdy should have all day to throw against the Rams, which also have the 12th-lowest pressure rate.

Brock Purdy completed 28 of 36 passes for 319 yards, tossing one touchdown and one interception in the Niners’ loss versus the Vikings. He also added two rushes for 12 yards.

Fantasy Impact

Purdy’s 319 passing yards is the fourth-highest total of his career, but he still couldn’t secure the win for his 49ers. Without superstar Christian McCaffrey in the lineup, the 49ers could experience a lower ceiling for their overall offensive output. Purdy remains a low-end QB1 option for his next matchup against the Rams.
