Brock Purdy to Miss his Fourth Game of the Year in Week 6

Friday, October 10, 5:39 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (toe) has officially been ruled out for Week 6 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sunday, according to David Lombardi of The Athletic. Purdy was unable to practice all week, although he was seen working on side fields with trainers. The 25-year-old will now miss his second straight game (fourth overall this year) after aggravating a turf-toe injury in Week 4. The Niners have been mum on when Purdy might be able to return to the starting role under center, with his next chance at doing so coming in Week 7 versus the Atlanta Falcons. Backup Mac Jones (knee, oblique) is listed as questionable with multiple injuries this weekend, but he's expected to make his fourth start of the year. Jones has been battling a knee injury since early in the year, but despite that, he's managed to play effectively and efficiently with Purdy out. Fantasy managers shouldn't be expecting a second straight 300-yard game from Jones, but he'll be in play as a low-end QB2 streamer in superflex leagues.

Caleb Williams Poised for Big Outing in MNF Showdown vs. Commanders

Saturday, October 11, 12:07 PM

Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams will look to continue his strong sophomore campaign coming out of the bye week. Through his first four games, the No. 1 overall pick has completed 81 of 130 passes for 927 yards and eight touchdowns with just two interceptions, ranking as the QB6 during that stretch. Under new head coach Ben Johnson, Williams has started to showcase his full potential, helping Chicago ride a two-game win streak into Week 6. The 2024 first-overall pick will face the second-overall pick in Jayden Daniels on Monday Night Football, in what should be an exciting primetime matchup. The Commanders' defense has struggled to contain opposing quarterbacks, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points to the position and surrendering 20+ point outings to Geno Smith, Michael Penix Jr., and Jordan Love. With a favorable matchup and the potential for a shootout, Williams remains a locked-in QB1 for Week 6.
