  Brock Purdy Camp Update — August 31: His Protection Changed Shape

  The week redrew the line in front of Purdy: rookie Carver Willis looks like the regular-season left guard, the team traded a seventh-round pick for interior lineman Jarrett Patterson, and Aaron Donald ended a two-year retirement to rejoin the Week One opponent. His target group is set, minus Christian Kirk.

  Brock Purdy Camp Update — August 23: Four of Six in His Preseason Debut

  Purdy made his preseason debut with a four-of-six opening drive in the forty-one to seventeen win over the Chargers, bookended by a joint practice he graded poorly himself and a Saturday session with a sixty-five-yard touchdown throw. Around him, the target room moved in both directions at once.

  Brock Purdy Camp Update — August 16: 21-of-27 With Three Touchdowns

  Purdy went twenty-one of twenty-seven with three scores in the joint practice against Tennessee, the healthy version June's case required. The complication is around him: the pass-catching room keeps losing bodies.

  Brock Purdy 2026 Season Preview — the second-most accurate passer in football, at QB13

  Purdy finished as the QB23 across nine games in 2025, averaging 19.7 half-PPR points per game — a per-game rate that would have ranked solidly inside the top ten had he stayed healthy. The central issue is durability: he has been available just 72.1% of games since 2021, meaning the season was shaped less by what he did on the field and more by how often he wasn't on it, which is exactly the kind of input that has shown little consistency year to year.

  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 fourteenth 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, 19-seven a game, QB6 per game, on 20 touchdowns against 10 picks — though the missed time left him QB23 in total. The signature was a three-touchdown, two-rushing-score, 37 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: 11-eight as a rookie starter, then 18-five, 17-eight, and 19-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.

  The situation, per the reports, needs the honest version, because the supporting cast changed twice: San Francisco did sign Mike Evans to be the number-one outside receiver — but George Kittle tore his Achilles in the January wild-card win and will miss training camp, with the September tenth opener in Australia "a chance" by his own telling, not a plan; and Brandon Aiyuk hasn't played since October 2024, with the reporting now expecting a release rather than a return. So the cast is Evans, a healthy McCaffrey, and depth. Purdy's own column is clean: the turf toe healed without surgery, he says it "feels great," and he spent June organizing player-run throwing sessions. A top-two-accuracy quarterback with a proven alpha added, at QB14, is the kind of price that only comes from a missed-games season.

  The price: pick 98, the fourteenth quarterback. Verdict: LEAN — underpriced. The second-best accuracy in football, a QB6 per-game rate, McCaffrey and now Evans to throw to, priced QB14 on injury discount. The counter: he's a pocket passer without a rushing floor, last year's nine-game season is a real flag, and the pass-catching room is thinner than its reputation until Kittle's back. 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; the chemistry with Mike Evans, the ceiling-raiser; and Kittle's return timeline, the depth variable. If he's one of your guys, this show exists for your whole roster — every player, every week, all season.

  Brock Purdy finished 2025 as the number 23 quarterback in total PPR scoring and the number 6 quarterback in PPR per game. That gap tells the whole story: when Purdy played, he was a high-end fantasy quarterback. When he didn't, he was a roster spot collecting dust. He suited up just nine times, and the 49ers leaned on Mac Jones for the bulk of the season. The frustrating part? Down the stretch, Purdy was cooking — and that late-season run was some of the best quarterback play in the league on a per-game basis.

  Now let's dig into the numbers, because the efficiency profile is loud. Purdy completed 69.4 percent of his passes for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 10 interceptions across those nine games. His completion percentage over expected was plus 5.1 — second-best among qualified passers in the entire league. Adjusted net yards per attempt: 7.0, ninth among qualified starters. This wasn't a checkdown merchant padding a completion rate. He averaged 19.7 PPR points per game, but the consistency picture splits clean down the middle — this was boom-or-bust, not a steady floor. Through Week 13, he had exactly one game above 20. Then from Week 15 on, he ripped off 26.2, 30.9, and 36.9 against the Titans, Colts, and Bears — three straight smashes powered by multi-touchdown games and a rushing contribution that quietly added 147 yards and 3 scores. The floor games were ugly: 7.3 against Carolina on three picks, 5.2 in the Week 18 Seattle loss. But the ceiling, when it showed up, was league-winning.

  The play that captures Purdy's season best came in Week 17 against the Bears — fourth quarter, 2:23 left, second and 10 from the Chicago 38, San Francisco trailing 38 to 35. Purdy dropped a 38-yard touchdown on Jauan Jennings down the middle, 21 yards in the air, a walk-off dagger in a 42 to 38 win. Same game he'd thrown a pick-six on the opening drive. Ceiling and floor in the same afternoon — and when Purdy was right, he was a top-six fantasy quarterback by per-game scoring. The body just wouldn't let him prove it across a full season.
