Brock Purdy News
Sunday, October 25, 8:20 PM
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed 27 of his 40 pass attempts for 288 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Atlanta Falcons. He also rushed for five yards and took two sacks. Purdy had just two turnovers through the first six weeks of the season, so seeing him get picked off twice in one game was an anomaly. The 26-year-old ultimately finished with his worst fantasy outing of the season, and he is no longer among the top three quarterbacks in total scoring this year. We do expect him to bounce back going forward, especially as the receiving corps around him finally starts to get a little bit healthier. The Niners' Week 8 bye will be a great opportunity for the receivers to get healthy and for Purdy to shake off Sunday's dud outing.

Jayden Daniels News
Friday, October 30, 9:18 PM
Washington Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels is fresh off the team's Week 7 bye and faces an enticing Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday Night Football. Since returning from his elbow injury in Week 5, Daniels has been electric for fantasy purposes, averaging 26.6 fantasy points across two games and ranking as the QB3 since coming back. The third-year quarterback displayed the dual-threat dynamism in each game that makes him a weekly fantasy difference maker, first rushing for 103 yards and two touchdowns against the Giants in Week 5 before throwing for 300 yards and two scores through the air against the 49ers in Week 6. Daniels will now be without his No. 1 wide receiver, Terry McLaurin (knee), for the rest of the season, but he is still primed for another strong fantasy day against the Eagles in Week 8. Philadelphia has allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season and owns the league's lowest sack rate. The Eagles held Daniels in check for much of the game back in Week 1, but he still managed a decent fantasy day with 17.7 points, and this Eagles' defense has been trending in the wrong direction since then. Daniels ranks as RotoBaller's QB6 for Week 8.
