Who Should I Start? Malik Willis or Brock Purdy

Friday, September 1, 11:18 AM

The Tennessee Titans were very pleased with quarterback Malik Willis' preseason performance and there's still a chance he'll open the season as the backup behind starter Ryan Tannehill and ahead of second-round rookie Will Levis. However, ESPN's Dan Graziano suggests the pick the Titans used on Levis strongly indicates a belief that he can be the team's starter eventually, which would leave Willis as the odd man out. Willis' ability and physical traits made him a highly regarded prospect before the 2022 draft, and there are certainly teams that would be interested in him if the Titans decided to move on. The 24-year-old looked a bit lost in eight games as a rookie, but he appears to have taken a second-year leap and could benefit from a change of scenery. Right now, Willis is only worth stashing in dynasty/keeper formats.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had his best fantasy day of the year in Thursday night's 30-12 victory over the New York Giants. He was 25-for-37 for 310 yards passing, two touchdowns, and no interceptions. The former "Mr. Irrelevant" of the 2022 draft has continued making the moniker itself irrelevant, winning his 11th consecutive game tonight. Purdy handled the absence of receiver Brandon Aiyuk without missing a beat, spreading targets all around, including getting Aiyuk substitutes Jauan Jennings and rookie Ronnie Bell involved. Early in the game, Purdy got away with a couple of risky throw decisions and while New York's defense did a commendable job bringing pressure, he consistently hung in and made tough throws. Purdy will take on the Arizona Cardinals at home in Week 4, where he'll be a worthy play in standard leagues.
