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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 13, 2025 6:17 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will have an "aggressive practice" on Wednesday with the goal of starting on Sunday against the Arizona Cardinals, according to David Lombardi of the San Francisco Standard. Purdy hasn't played in a game since aggravating his turf-toe injury during a Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has been a limited participant in practice recently, but he looks to be on track to make his return in Week 11 if all goes according to plan. Star running back Christian McCaffrey said Wednesday that "he looks like Brock," and noted that Purdy is running and throwing well at practice. Purdy's status will be closely monitored this week, and if he is able to return, he will rank as a low-end QB1 on Sunday against the Cardinals.
Nov 12, 2025 4:57 PM EST
The San Francisco 49ers are still in wait-and-see mode with quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) as they head into a Week 11 divisional matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Purdy has not played since aggravating his turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but he's been practicing on a limited basis, and head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Monday that the team is looking for the 25-year-old signal-caller to increase his activity this week. The 49ers "want three aggressive practices [from him], and we want to hear from him and make sure he feels good after them, too." The Niners are hoping Purdy can finally return to face the Arizona Cardinals in Week 11, but he'll only be cleared if he can upgrade to a full practice and avoid any setbacks. When Purdy returns to the starting role under center, he'll have immediate low-end QB1 upside, but fantasy managers will also be wary of any potential rust from his long layoff.
Nov 10, 2025 6:08 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will "have a chance" to play in next week's contest against the Arizona Cardinals, head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media. The 25-year-old has been sidelined for most of this season, playing just two of the Niners' 10 games so far. Mac Jones is playing above .500 in his absence, but he lost to the Rams on Sunday and now has six turnovers over his last four games. The return of Purdy should elevate the 49ers' offense while continuing to support strong fantasy outings from players like Jauan Jennings, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Meanwhile, Purdy himself should rank as a low-end QB1 in fantasy football.
Nov 9, 2025 8:30 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is inactive for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Los Angeles Rams. He had been listed as questionable but was not expected to play after being a limited participant in practice last week. The team is hopeful that Purdy can return in Week 11 following a six-game absence. So far, he has appeared in just two games this season. Mac Jones will earn another start in his absence on Sunday.
Nov 9, 2025 2:23 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is getting a lot closer to returning, and the team is hopeful that he can start in Week 11 against the Arizona Cardinals, according to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN. The 49ers will decide before their matchup on Sunday against the Rams if Purdy will be active as the team's No. 2 quarterback behind Mac Jones, a promising sign in his recovery. Purdy came back in Week 4 against the Jaguars, but ultimately made the turf toe injury worse and has since missed five consecutive games. The 25-year-old hasn't registered a full practice since Week 4, but it looks like he is getting close to returning as San Francisco's QB1. Jones has filled in admirably in Purdy's absence, but he will move back to being the backup quarterback once Purdy is ready to go.
Nov 8, 2025 1:04 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is officially listed as questionable for the Week 10 game this Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, according to Cam Inman of the Bay Area News Group. Inman also reports that Mac Jones will make his eighth start of the year, so if Purdy is active this weekend, it will be in a backup role. The 25-year-old Purdy has yet to practice in full since aggravating a turf-toe injury back in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars, so he won't be given the starting gig back just yet. Purdy is getting closer to playing just his third game of the year, but it's unclear if he'll be back to face the division-rival Arizona Cardinals in Week 11. Fantasy managers who have been stashing him this entire time may be running out of patience, but it's been made clear he's the Niners' starter under center when he's past his turf-toe injury. In his two games played this year, Purdy has gone 48-for-73 passing for 586 yards, four touchdowns, and four interceptions.
Nov 7, 2025 5:44 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said on Thursday that quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) is "getting closer to returning," according to Clayton Holloway of NFL Network. The 49ers will decide on Friday whether or not Purdy will play on Sunday against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. "Yeah, pretty confident we'll see him this year," Shanahan said when asked if he's confident that Purdy will play again this season. The 25-year-old was limited in practice again on Thursday. He will need to upgrade to a full practice on Friday to play this weekend for the first time since aggravating a turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. Purdy has only played in two games in 2025, so there will certainly be a rust factor to think about in fantasy if he's able to return this Sunday against a formidable Rams defense. It seems as though the Niners are leaning toward giving Mac Jones his eighth start of the year.
Nov 6, 2025 7:23 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) will be limited in the first practice of the week on Thursday, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Purdy has only played in two games this year and not since aggravating a turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. While the 25-year-old signal-caller has made progress, he has yet to upgrade to a full practice, which will be required of him before he's cleared to start again. It puts his status firmly up in the air for another week for the Week 10 divisional clash against the Los Angeles Rams this Sunday. The good news is that the 49ers plan for Purdy to take on more first-team reps in practice this week, which could mean that he's on the cusp of making his return. If Purdy is unable to gain clearance to play against the Rams, Mac Jones will make his eighth start of the year. We should have more clarity on the situation later in the week.
Nov 5, 2025 5:57 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe), still affected by a turf toe injury suffered in Week 1 and reaggravated in Week 4, missed a fifth consecutive game in Week 9. Head coach Kyle Shanahan referred to Purdy's injury as "probably something that doesn't go away all year, regardless of when he comes back," as reported by The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Based on Shanahan's assessment, Purdy will be playing through pain if and when he resumes starting duties. Doing so would limit his mobility and, in turn, potentially affect his effectiveness. Until Purdy can get healthy enough for game action, Mac Jones will remain under center for San Francisco. Jones improved to 5-2 with the 49ers' 34-24 win over the Giants on Sunday. Should his role as interim starter extend to Week 10, he will face a Rams defense he gouged for 342 yards and two touchdowns in Week 5.
Nov 5, 2025 3:09 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has officially been ruled out for the Week 9 contest on Sunday on the road against the New York Giants, the team announced. Purdy came into the weekend with yet another questionable tag after aggravating his turf-toe injury back in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The 25-year-old has made slow and steady progress, but he has not been able to practice in full yet, so the Niners will hold him out for another week. It's been an incredibly frustrating season for fantasy managers who drafted Purdy, as he's played in just two games in 2025 due to his toe injury. The good news is that all signs are pointing toward him potentially returning next Sunday for a big divisional clash against the Los Angeles Rams in Week 10. Purdy has QB1 potential still when he's fully healthy, but using him in fantasy next week if he returns will be a risky prospect given his long layoff and the less-than-stellar matchup.
Nov 2, 2025 11:37 AM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Mac Jones will make another start on Sunday in Week 9 versus the New York Giants, but Brock Purdy (toe) could be available to play, according to head coach Kyle Shanahan. Purdy is officially listed as questionable. The 49ers are not comfortable starting Purdy under center since he has yet to practice in full since aggravating his turf-toe injury in the Week 4 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. However, the 25-year-old has made enough progress that he could actually be active this weekend as an emergency option. It's a good sign that Purdy will be ready to start again in Week 10 against the division-rival Los Angeles Rams, barring a setback during practice next week. Jones has done a commendable job running San Fran's offense this year with Purdy injured, but there's no debate that Purdy will take over the starting job again when he's cleared to start. Jones will only be worth streaming in two-QB superflex leagues against the G-Men this weekend.
Oct 31, 2025 5:17 PM EST
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) remained a limited participant in practice on Thursday, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN. Purdy has been slowly improving from a turf-toe injury that he aggravated in Week 4, but he has yet to upgrade to a full participant in practice, and until he does so, he probably won't be cleared to play this Sunday on the road against the New York Giants in Week 9. The Niners could be targeting a big Week 10 divisional tilt next Sunday, Nov. 9, against the Los Angeles Rams for Purdy to return. The 25-year-old signal-caller has now had eight straight limited practices. Fantasy managers should not plan on having Purdy this weekend, as it looks like another week of backup Mac Jones running the offense. Purdy has been a massive fantasy disappointment so far in 2025, playing in only two games due to his turf-toe injury.
