• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Produces two TDs in win

  8D ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy completed 16 of 29 passes for 168 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-8 win over the Browns. He added four rushing yards and a TD on two carries. High winds in Cleveland made passing difficult, but Purdy was able to connect with Jauan Jennings for a seven-yard score in the fourth quarter after the QB ran in a two-yard touchdown of his own in the third. The rushing score was Purdy's first in three starts since returning from a toe injury and is the best sign yet that he's fully healthy. He'll get a bye to rest up next week before the 49ers host the Titans in Week 15.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: QBs to Sit

  12D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Purdy had a rough game in Week 12 against Carolina with 193 passing yards, one touchdown and three interceptions, along with 16 rushing yards, and he scored just 9.3 Fantasy points. Now, he has to face the Browns on the road, and Cleveland is No. 7 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks. Only three quarterbacks this season have scored at least 20 Fantasy points against the Browns, who have 28 sacks and seven interceptions in their past five games. Purdy is only worth starting in Superflex and two-quarterback leagues.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Off his mark on MNF

  14D ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy completed 23 of 32 pass attempts for 193 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions while rushing six times for 16 yards in Monday's 20-9 win over the Panthers. Purdy had a first half he would like to forget after getting picked off by Carolina's secondary on three consecutive possessions. The trio of turnovers followed an impressive 15-play, 72-yard opening drive that culminated in a touchdown strike to WR Jauan Jennings. Head coach Kyle Shanahan gave his signal-caller a vote of confidence heading into halftime, telling ESPN's Lisa Salters that he felt Purdy played well outside of missing his mark on two of the three interceptions. The Iowa State product took better care of the ball in the second half, leading a couple of scoring drives to finish off the Panthers in the primetime victory. Monday's shoddy results coupled with a brutal upcoming matchup against Cleveland's defense Sunday should suppress Purdy's fantasy value Week 13.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: QBs to Start

  18D ago • By Jamey Eisenberg

  Purdy looked great in his return from a six-game absence with a toe injury in Week 11 at Arizona with 25.3 Fantasy points on 19-of-26 passing for 200 yards and three touchdowns. He's now scored at least 20.8 Fantasy points in all three starts that he's made this season, and he should have another solid outing against the Panthers. Carolina is No. 11 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing quarterbacks, but Drake Maye, Tua Tagovailoa, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen all scored at least 26.1 Fantasy points against the Panthers. Purdy should follow suit, and he has top-10 upside in all leagues.

• 49ers' Brock Purdy: Healthy stat line in return

  22D ago • By RotoWire

  Purdy (toe) completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 200 yards and three touchdowns while losing seven yards on his only carry in Sunday's 41-22 win over the Cardinals. Purdy made a triumphant return from a turf toe injury that cost the signal-caller six weeks of action, tossing a trio of touchdowns with no turnovers in a decisive victory over a division opponent. The 25-year-old connected in the end zone with top weapons Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle (twice) as San Francisco's offense looked as healthy as it has since Week 1. Purdy had thrown as many touchdowns (four) as interceptions over his previous two starts this season, neither of which he exited at full strength. Assuming that he escaped Sunday's win with a clean bill of health, fantasy managers can feel comfortable again starting Purdy against the Panthers on Monday Night Football in Week 12.
