Who Should I Start? Brock Purdy or Bo Nix

Monday, November 10, 6:08 PM

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.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix had a rough outing against their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders, in Thursday's 10-7 win. Nix would end the night completing 16 of 28 pass attempts for only 150 passing yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding five rushes for negative two yards. It was a rough showing for the passing offense as a whole, and the offense often drew boos as it stalled throughout the night. Notably, rough winds were swirling through the stadium throughout the night, but Nix still put up a disappointing performance for those who started him this week. Nix will look to bounce back against division rivals, the Kansas City Chiefs, in Week 11.
