Who Should I Start? Brock Purdy or Bo Nix

Friday, October 17, 5:29 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has been ruled out yet again and will not suit up for a Week 7 Sunday night clash against the Atlanta Falcons, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. Purdy initially suffered a turf-toe injury in Week 1 and missed Weeks 2 and 3 before returning to aggravate his toe in Week 4. The 25-year-old has not played since then and will miss his fifth game in the last six weeks. Former New England Patriots QB Mac Jones will take over yet again and will be looking to bounce back from last week's loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. It remains to be seen if Purdy will be able to do enough in practice next week to make his return for a Week 8 game against the Houston Texans. With Purdy out at least one more week, Jones checks in once again as a low-end QB2 play against a much-improved Falcons defense.

Denver Broncos quarterback Bo Nix completed 19 of 30 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Broncos held on for a 13-11 victory against the New York Jets on Sunday in London. The second-year quarterback also added 24 rushing yards on five carries in a game thoroughly dominated by defense. Nix's overall numbers weren't remarkable, but he also didn't commit a turnover as the Denver defense held New York to just 82 total yards and recorded nine sacks. The Broncos have a favorable schedule coming up, with Nix set to take on a Dallas Cowboys defense currently ranked 32nd in net yards per attempt in Week 7.
