Jacksonville Jaguars quarterback C.J. Beathard went 8-for-10 for 134 yards, a touchdown, and a near-perfect passer rating of 152.1 in Saturday's 31-18 preseason win over the Miami Dolphins. The vet came into camp with a leg up on rookie Nathan Rourke for the QB2 spot behind Trevor Lawrence, but the latter has been applying some pressure with his play through two games. Beathard was the second QB to take over after Lawrence in this one, leading three consecutive scoring drives to close out the first half. The performance was highlighted by a 74-yard touchdown strike to sophomore wide receiver Tim Jones, who broke open on the left side of the field and cruised in untouched for the score. Rourke quarterbacked the entire second half of the game, which saw the Jaguars put up two more touchdowns. Still, the Ohio native finished with a measly 74 passing yards on only six attempts, as Jacksonville opted to go with a more ground-heavy attack. At this point, Beathard has held onto his QB2 position but is still firmly off the fantasy radar unless something happens to Lawrence.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to continue his winning ways when he leads his offense against the New York Giants on Thursday night. Purdy is coming off a competent, if imperfect performance. In Week 2, he was 17-of-25 for 206 yards passing and no touchdowns or interceptions. He also made some inaccurate throws that limited his fantasy day though he did score on a quarterback sneak. The Giants' defense, who are league-worst in points allowed per game, have had most of that damage done on the ground. Their pass defense has been surprisingly competent statistically, ranking 9th in the league in yards per game. However, half of that sample was accumulated in last week's game against Arizona's fill-in quarterback Joshua Dobbs. Purdy is again on the QB1/QB2 border with this week's favorable matchup.
Still trying to decide between Beathard and Purdy? Check on the latest news to make sure both players are active and healthy. Our PPR projections show that C.J. Beathard is projected to score 0.0 points this week while Brock Purdy is projected to score 19.9 points.
