• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Late INT taints bounce-back effort

  5H ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy completed 26 of 40 pass attempts for 313 yards, two touchdowns and one interception while adding 26 rushing yards on four attempts in Sunday's 29-17 loss to the Dolphins. Purdy was coming off of his worst showing of the 2024 campaign, so it was a positive sign to see the star quarterback put together an improved fantasy line against Miami. It wasn't all roses for 2022's Mr. Irrelevant, though, as an ugly interception in the fourth quarter killed any hopes for San Francisco to make a comeback. Purdy also led the 49ers with his 26 rushing yards for an injury-riddled squad that was forced to start its fifth-string RB on Sunday. With his team out of playoff contention, Purdy will continue to play out the string in Week 17 against the Lions on Monday Night Football.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Sleeper QBs

  2D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Purdy has played five games this season, coming off a game where the 49ers lost. He didn't play in Week 12 at Green Bay following the Week 11 loss to Seattle, and he didn't lose the Packers game. In four of his five games after a loss, Purdy has scored at least 26.1 Fantasy points, and hopefully that happens again in Week 16 at Miami after the Rams beat the 49ers 12-6 in Week 15. Three of the past five quarterbacks against the Dolphins have scored at least 19.6 Fantasy points, and Purdy should bounce back in Week 16.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Miserable showing in loss

  10D ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy completed 14 of 31 passes for 142 yards with no touchdowns and one interception and rushed once for three yards in the 49ers' 12-6 loss to the Rams on Thursday night. Purdy was able to engineer a short 39-yard drive on the 49ers' second possession that culminated in a field goal, but San Francisco punted the other six times it had the ball in the first half. After another modest 34-yard march that led to three more points to open the second half, Purdy scuffled throughout most of the rest of the contest and also threw an interception on a deep shot to Jauan Jennings with just over five minutes remaining in the game. The Rams would subsequently embark on a marathon 13-play drive that left Purdy with just 11 seconds to try and get the 50 yards necessary for a potential game-winning score, but he threw incomplete and took a sack on the final two plays. Purdy now has thrown for 159 yards or fewer in three of his past four games heading into a Week 16 road trip to face the Dolphins on Sunday, Dec. 22.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Bounces back as expected

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy completed 20 of 25 pass attempts for 325 yards and a pair of touchdowns while rushing five times for 11 yards in Sunday's 38-13 win over the Bears. Purdy did suffer an injury scare in the fourth quarter on a roughing the passer penalty that saw the quarterback's body bend backward in an awkward fashion between two Chicago defenders. The star QB was writhing in pain on the ground following the hit, but he wound up missing just one play before returning to the field, as reported by 49ers' reporter Cam Inman. Aside from the brief injury scare, Purdy was firing on all cylinders against the scuttling Bears, which comes as a relief to fantasy managers following last week's dud against the Bills in the snow. Assuming that there are no lingering effects from getting clotheslined Sunday, Purdy could be in store for another high score in a potential shootout against the Rams on Thursday Night Football in Week 15.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Bust Alert (Start/Sit)

  18D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Purdy played at Buffalo in Week 13, but I hope the shoulder injury that kept him out of Week 12 is OK. I also hope that left tackle Trent Williams (ankle/personal) plays because the 49ers need him to anchor this offensive line. With Christian McCaffrey (knee) and Jordan Mason (ankle) out, the offense should run through Purdy if he's 100 percent, but this is also a tough matchup against the Bears, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Only three quarterbacks have thrown multiple touchdowns against Chicago this season, and Purdy should be considered a low-end starter in all one-quarterback leagues in Week 14.
