Brock Purdy News
Friday, October 2, 11:36 PM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed just 15 passes (out of 27 attempts) in Week 3, but he passed for a season-high 297 yards and four touchdowns in the team's 36-30 win over the Cardinals. Purdy is now up to 789 yards on the season, has a 72.3% completion percentage, and a league-leading nine passing touchdowns. Purdy may be without Mike Evans (ribs) in San Francisco's upcoming matchup with the Broncos, as the wide receiver is managing a rib injury sustained last weekend and will be a game-time decision on Sunday. Even without Evans, Purdy should remain an effective fantasy option, as he will still have Deebo Samuel Sr., George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey at his disposal. Last week, Denver surrendered 390 passing yards and two touchdowns to Matt Stafford. Purdy is the overall QB2 after three weeks and projects as a top-five option in Week 4.

Caleb Williams News
Monday, October 5, 4:42 PM
Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring) will not practice this week, head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN. The head coach still believes that Williams is operating on a "week-to-week" timeline as he recovers from a Grade 2 right-hamstring strain that he suffered in the Week 2 loss to the division-rival Minnesota Vikings. Johnson said that Williams is doing well attacking his rehab, but he will miss a third straight game this weekend in a big divisional tilt in Week 5 at Lambeau Field against the division-rival Green Bay Packers. The Bears already announced that backup Tyson Bagent will make the start this weekend in Green Bay after leading the team to victory over the New York Jets this past Sunday. Fantasy managers must remain patient with the former first overall pick from USC, but he will need to return to the practice field in some form next week if he is to have any chance of returning for a Week 6 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
