San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy suffered a stinger on the team's final offensive play during Saturday's Week 18 loss against the Seattle Seahawks, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan (via Ian Rapoport of NFL.com). Purdy took a hit while throwing an incomplete pass late in the fourth quarter. He remained down on the field and received medical attention for a brief period of time, but he was able to stand up and walk off the field under his own power. After the loss, Shanahan said that Purdy was okay and could have gone back into the game if San Francisco got the ball back. This bodes well for Purdy's status heading into Wild Card Weekend. Barring a setback, we expect him to suit up. The 49ers' first-round opponent will be decided when games go final on Sunday in Week 18. San Francisco will be either the No. 5 or No. 6 seed.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy enters Week 18 on an absolute heater. Over his last three games, the 26-year-old has thrown for 893 yards, 11 touchdowns, and two interceptions. However, Purdy will face a difficult matchup in Week 18 against the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle enters the week ranked first among NFL defenses in yards per pass attempt allowed (6.1) and ninth in passing touchdowns allowed (20). Making matters even tougher, Purdy could be without star left tackle Trent Williams (hamstring), whose status for Week 18 is unclear due to a hamstring injury. Still, the 49ers offense is firing on all cylinders, as the team is averaging 42.3 points per game over its last three contests. Purdy will also get back star tight end George Kittle, who missed Week 17 due to an ankle injury. Fantasy managers should have some reason to be concerned about the matchup for Purdy in Week 18. However, given how well he has played lately, Purdy remains a solid fantasy QB1 against Seattle.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has turned in four top-12 finishes in five games since returning from a six-week absence due to turf toe. Purdy stepped things up since the 49ers' Week 14 bye, putting up 295 passing yards in consecutive games and a total of eight touchdowns. Purdy has a great chance of keeping his hot streak alive in Week 17 against the Chicago Bears. The Bears have given up the seventh-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks and are tied with two other teams for the third-most passing touchdowns allowed. Tight end George Kittle (ankle) will be a game-time decision, but deep threat Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) is trending towards playing. Purdy projects as a QB1 given his recent track record and favorable matchup, making him a worthy starter in the fantasy championship round.

San Francisco starting quarterback Brock Purdy tore up the Indianapolis Colts' defense on Monday Night Football to put a bow on Week 16, and now enters Week 17 ranking as a mid-tier QB1 in the final weekend for some fantasy managers in the fantasy playoffs. Week 16 was his best game of the season; he dominated in primetime, finishing with five touchdown passes and 295 yards, finishing as the QB1 in fantasy for the week. His rapport with all pass catchers, Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle (ankle), and Jauan Jennings, was all on display. He even hit Demarcus Robinson on a touchdown pass as well. Since his return from the toe injury in Week 11, Purdy has scored 17 or more fantasy points in four of his last five starts and has finished as the QB10 or better in three of those five. With another decent matchup on Sunday against the Chicago Bears, Purdy should be fired up into starting lineups confidently as we look forward to Week 17.
Dec 26, 2025 9:30 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy came through in a big way for those relying on him for a Monday night miracle to advance to the fantasy football championship round. Purdy went 25-for-34 for 295 yards, five touchdowns, and one interception in the 49ers' 48-27 win over the Colts. Two of his touchdown throws went to running back Christian McCaffrey, with tight end George Kittle and wide receivers Jauan Jennings and Demarcus Robinson each getting one. Once again, Purdy concentrated the majority of his attempts on McCaffrey, Kittle, and Jennings, though Kendrick Bourne worked in for five targets with Ricky Pearsall (knee, ankle) out. Purdy and the 49ers host the Chicago Bears in Week 17. It will be a welcome matchup for Purdy, as the Bears have allowed the eighth-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks this season.
Dec 23, 2025 1:47 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is in line for another strong showing in Week 16 when he takes on the Indianapolis Colts on Monday night. The Colts' defense will be a tougher test than he saw against Tennessee last week, but there is room for optimism. Indianapolis has allowed the third most passing yards this season, and over their last four games, they have given up an average of 286.5 yards per game. Purdy may be missing a weapon if Ricky Pearsall (knee/ankle) is held out, but he will have the trio of Christian McCaffrey, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle at his disposal. Purdy projects as a QB1 for the semifinal round of the fantasy football playoffs and can be plugged into starting lineups.
Dec 20, 2025 6:02 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy's season-long numbers don't jump off the page, as he's completed 67.9% of his pass attempts for 1,442 yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions across six starts. However, the 25-year-old is coming off one of his best performances of the season, throwing for 295 yards and three touchdowns in a Week 15 win over the Tennessee Titans. Purdy also rushed for a season-high 44 yards against Tennessee, which may be an indication he's finally regaining full health after missing nearly two full months in the middle of the year with a lingering toe injury. The 49ers travel to Indianapolis to face the Colts in Week 16 before returning home to host the Chicago Bears in Week 17. Purdy has solid fantasy QB1 upside for the final weeks of the season, particularly if he continues to weaponize his rushing ability.
Dec 19, 2025 10:22 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy led his team to a 37-24 win over the Tennessee Titans in Week 15, completing 23 of 30 pass attempts for 295 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions. Purdy also rushed for 44 yards on seven attempts. Across six games played this season, the 25-year-old has thrown for 1,442 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and seven interceptions. Purdy has battled multiple injuries so far in 2025, but he seems to be hitting his stride down the stretch of the season. Purdy has completed at least 70% of his pass attempts in three out of his last four starts, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 record and an average of 31 points per game over that stretch. The 49ers will travel to Indianapolis to take on the Colts in Week 16.
Dec 14, 2025 9:51 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is looking to bounce back after a few lackluster games. Purdy has been held to under 200 passing yards with three interceptions over his last two contests. The 25-year-old hasn't been an ideal fantasy option lately, but could be on the upswing. Purdy heads into a favorable matchup against the Tennessee Titans in Week 15. A defense that gave up over 350 passing yards to Shedeur Sanders last week. The Titans are currently allowing the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. All signs are pointing to Purdy having a bounce-back performance this weekend. He should be put in the QB1 conversation for this weekend.
Dec 13, 2025 6:53 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy is back in the QB1 conversation in Week 15. On Sunday, Purdy and the Niners face the Titans, who have allowed 22.4 fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks in 2025. Last week, Tennessee got torched by rookie Shedeur Sanders to the tune of 364 yards and three touchdowns through the air, and another 29 yards with an additional score on the ground. The Titans have given up multiple passing touchdowns in six of their last seven games and averaged 265 passing yards allowed during the same stretch. This is promising for Purdy, who has averaged just 187 passing yards per game since returning in Week 11 from a six-game absence managing turf toe. Purdy is a solid option in two-QB formats and is a good pivot from similar quarterbacks with more imposing matchups in Week 15.
Dec 13, 2025 5:06 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy went 16-for-29 for 168 yards and one touchdown in the team's 26-8 win over the Cleveland Browns in Week 13. Purdy's production reached season lows in completions, completion rate, and passing yards, but it was enough to finish as a top-12 quarterback in fantasy. Despite Purdy's mediocre stat line, it was an improvement over his performance against the Panthers, when he threw three interceptions and completed just one pass of 10 air yards or more. Against Cleveland, Purdy managed to complete six of his 11 such pass attempts, including a 30-yard bomb to George Kittle that set up a chip-shot field goal for Matt Gay at the end of the first half. San Francisco is on bye in Week 14, but it has favorable matchups in the fantasy football playoffs with meetings against the Titans in Week 15 and the Bears in Week 17.
Dec 2, 2025 11:35 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) got the win last Monday against the Panthers but delivered a dud to fantasy football managers. Purdy struggled outside of the short game, delivering just eight passes beyond 10 yards with a result of completion and three interceptions. Purdy insisted in postgame comments that his bout of turf toe was not to blame for his performance, and that his struggles were timing errors. Purdy did practice in full all week and carries no designation for what could be a challenging matchup in Week 13 against the Browns. The Browns, led by pass rusher Myles Garrett, have allowed the fourth-fewest fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks. Strong winds, snow, and rain are in the forecast for Sunday, making Purdy's job all the more challenging. Purdy projects as a low-end QB2 in Week 13.
Nov 29, 2025 3:33 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) went 23-for-32 for 193 yards, one touchdown, and three interceptions in Monday's 20-9 win over the Carolina Panthers. He also had 16 rushing yards on six carries. Purdy struggled to connect with his receivers on intermediate and deep routes, completing just one of his eight attempts of 10 yards or more. All three of his interceptions came on shots 20 yards downfield or longer. In postgame comments, Purdy insisted his picks had nothing to do with the turf toe injury that has cost him eight games this season. The 49ers will travel to Cleveland in Week 13 to face the Browns, whose defense has allowed the third-fewest passing yards and owns the highest sack rate in the league. Purdy projects as a QB2 against that stout defense in what will be a cold-weather game.
Nov 25, 2025 10:47 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) put forth a solid effort in his return to action in Week 11 after missing the previous six games. In what was just his third start of the season, Purdy threw for just 200 yards but did so with a tidy 73.1% completion percentage and completed three touchdown passes with no turnovers. Purdy finished as the overall QB6 in the 49ers' win over the Cardinals and will be in the mix for another top-10 performance when San Francisco squares off against the Carolina Panthers on Monday night in Week 12. The Panthers rank in the bottom five in the league in sack rate and pressure rate, so Purdy should have plenty of time to pick apart their secondary, which has allowed the sixth-most passing yards over the last four weeks. Fantasy football managers can plug Purdy into starting lineups with confidence in Week 12.
Nov 22, 2025 5:23 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is a full-go at the first practice of the week on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Purdy returned in Week 11 for the first time since aggravating a turf-toe injury in Week 4 and looked good, going 19-for-26 passing for 200 yards and three touchdowns in a blowout win over the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old managed to avoid a setback with his toe and should be a full-go for the Monday night clash against the Carolina Panthers in Week 12. The Panthers' defense has been much-improved from a season ago and hasn't been a great matchup for opposing QBs in 2025, but Purdy should still be viewed as a midrange QB1 in fantasy football now that the Niners' offense is pretty much back to full strength for the first time all year. The one drawback to starting Purdy in fantasy lineups is that he might still be hesitant to run the ball because of his toe injury. He ran just once last week for a loss of seven yards.
Nov 20, 2025 5:12 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy looked good in his return to play in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, completing 19 of 26 passes for 200 yards and three touchdowns. Purdy produced his typical high-efficiency numbers after missing the last six games with a toe injury. The 25-year-old finished as QB6 for the week and looks primed for a strong rest of the season finish with San Francisco continuing to get healthier on offense. Wide receiver Ricky Pearsall also made his return from a multi-game absence in Week 11 against Arizona, and while he recorded just one reception for zero yards, the 2024 first-round pick looked excellent early in the season and developed a real rapport with Purdy. The Iowa State product is surrounded by a strong core of weapons and projects as a solid QB1 for Monday night against the Panthers in Week 12.
Nov 20, 2025 12:14 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy returned to action on Sunday after missing eight of the team's last nine games with a toe injury, and he threw for 200 yards and three touchdowns in a blowout win over the Cardinals. With one game left to be played on Monday night, he is currently the QB4 for the week, after his efficient outing against an above-average Cardinals defense. While Purdy's upcoming schedule features unfavorable passing matchups against the Panthers and Browns before a Week 14 bye, managers who can afford to keep him rostered through that stretch should be handsomely rewarded with fantasy playoff matchups against the Titans, Colts, and Bears. While streaming the quarterback position often means mixing and matching throughout the playoffs to find the best possible matchup, Purdy is one of the few streaming quality quarterbacks that can be trusted from Weeks 15-17, especially as the 49ers offense continues to get healthier.
Nov 17, 2025 3:01 PM EST
In his first game since Week 4, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed 19 of 26 pass attempts for 200 yards, three touchdowns, and zero interceptions in his team's 41-22 win over the Arizona Cardinals. Purdy missed six games due to a toe injury, but he appears to be regaining his health at the perfect time for San Francisco. Across three starts in 2025, Purdy has now thrown for 786 yards, seven touchdowns, and four interceptions. In addition to Purdy, the 49ers also got wide receiver Ricky Pearsall back from a knee injury that has sidelined him from Week 4. The return of both players helped San Francisco put up a season-high 41 points against Arizona. Purdy profiles as a low-end starting quarterback option in single-QB fantasy leagues and a must-start quarterback in two-QB formats heading into a Week 12 matchup against the Carolina Panthers.
Nov 16, 2025 10:01 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has no designation on the team's final injury report ahead of their divisional clash with the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Purdy was listed as questionable in each of the last two weeks before ultimately being scratched from both contests. Sunday's action will be his first time back on the field since Week 4 and just his third start of the season. Purdy's return to action coincides with that of Ricky Pearsall (knee), which means the quarterback will have Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, and George Kittle all on the field for the first time since Week 1. Arizona has played well against opposing quarterbacks this season, but backup quarterback Mac Jones (knee) passed for 284 yards and a touchdown with one interception against the Cardinals back in Week 3. Similar results are within reach for Purdy, who projects as a borderline QB1/QB2 in Week 11.
Nov 15, 2025 4:24 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will return to the starting lineup this Sunday against the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, according to Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports. Shanahan said earlier this week that Purdy would be practicing with the intention of starting this weekend, and it looks like that will happen. It will be just the third start of the year for the 25-year-old signal-caller, and the first since he aggravated his turf-toe injury in Week 4. Purdy is surely an upgrade over Mac Jones under center, although fantasy managers will have to weigh the potential rust factor after Purdy's long layoff. Still, in a plus matchup against Arizona's defense, Purdy should be in play immediately as a low-end QB1 option for fantasy managers who might be hurting at the position in Week 11. He's rostered in 59% of Yahoo leagues right now.
