Brock Purdy

Purdy is one of my favorite values at the position. He was the QB24 last season, but he only played eight games—and in those eight games, he was the overall QB2 on a per-game basis at 21.5 points per game. He closed the season on a tear, posting 26.2, 30.9, and 36.9 fantasy points in his final three games. His efficiency metrics were elite: 96th percentile in EPA per dropback and 98th percentile in CPOE among 45 qualified passers. The 49ers lost Jauan Jennings but added Mike Evans and Christian Kirk, and re-signed Deebo Samuel as Ricky Pearsall was lost for the season. George Kittle is recovering from a torn Achilles and the hope is that he'll be ready for Week 1. Christian McCaffrey rounds out a receiving corps that should give Purdy plenty to work with. He’s going off the board as a high-end QB2, and that's a steal for a quarterback who has finished QB6 and QB9 on a per-game basis in his last two healthy seasons and was the QB2 per game last year. Durability is the only real concern, but as a ninth-round pick, it’s easy to back him up with another quality passer in the next few rounds and run with a committee.
