The Rundown

Brock Purdy graded as the second-most accurate quarterback in the NFL last season, and a top-six fantasy quarterback per game — in just nine games, because injuries cost him the rest. He's the thirteenth quarterback off the board, and San Francisco just handed him Mike Evans. The Muffed 2026 preview.

The 2025 season was excellent when he played and too short: nine games, nineteen-seven a game, QB6 per game, on twenty touchdowns against ten picks — though the missed time left him QB23 in total. The signature was a three-touchdown, two-rushing-score, thirty-seven point game against Chicago in Week 17. And the efficiency was elite: his completion percentage over expected ranked second in the league. The talent and the accuracy are real.

The arc is steady, ascending production: eleven-eight as a rookie starter, then eighteen-five, seventeen-eight, and nineteen-seven. Every healthy season has been a solid-to-strong QB1 line.

What the data says: he's more pocket passer than runner, so he lacks the elite rushing floor — that's the structural caution. But the accuracy is genuinely top-tier, the per-game production has been QB1-level every healthy year, and the price is built on a nine-game injury sample, not the player.

[[SITUATION]]

The situation, per the reports, is a clear upgrade: San Francisco signed Mike Evans to be Purdy's number-one outside receiver, joining a healthy Kittle, Aiyuk, and McCaffrey. A top-two-accuracy quarterback with that supporting cast, at QB13, is the kind of price that comes only from a missed-games season.

The price: pick ninety-five, the thirteenth quarterback. Verdict: LEAN — underpriced. The second-best accuracy in football, a QB6 per-game rate, a loaded receiving corps with Evans added, priced QB13 on injury discount. The counter: he's a pocket passer without a rushing floor, last year's injuries are a real flag, and quarterback is a position you can wait on. But the per-game production and the efficiency say this price is too low if he's healthy.

September watch: his health, the whole discount; and the chemistry with Mike Evans, the ceiling-raiser. Your guys, every week. Next preview's queued.

The Bottom Line

LEAN: UNDERPRICED — the NFL's second-most accurate passer and a QB6 per-game rate over an injury-shortened nine games, now with Mike Evans added, priced QB13. The injury discount is the opportunity.
