Tyler Shough's Fantasy Success Comes With Some Red Flags

Wednesday, November 11, 6:54 AM

New Orleans Saints quarterback Tyler Shough has thrived this season on pure volume and opportunity rather than efficiency and playing great football. This season, Shough is second in the NFL in dropbacks per game, however 18th in expected points added per dropback. While volume remains king in fantasy, it does set up a higher-risk, higher-reward player to put into your lineup any given week. Additionally, the Saints have now played in two overtime games this season, giving them two additional quarters to build volume. All this to say, Shough is the QB9 in fantasy points per game this season and should remain a staple in your lineup, but fantasy managers may want to proactively plan for a backup if volume dips and efficiency doesn't improve.

Brock Purdy News

Brock Purdy Rebounds in Rout of Raiders

Sunday, November 8, 9:05 PM

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy completed 17 of 25 passes for 232 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 38-17 home win over the Las Vegas Raiders. He added 40 yards and a touchdown on seven carries and threw one interception. It was the Iowa State product's second rushing score of the campaign, and first game with multiple touchdown passes since Week 5. The highlight of his day was a 37-yard dot to wide receiver Jordan Watkins for a touchdown late in the third quarter. Purdy rebounded nicely from a loss to the Falcons preceding the team's bye, in which he threw two picks to just one TD pass. It's his only blemish in what's been a stellar campaign thus far, even with the bevy of injuries to his cast of weapons. Purdy and the 49ers offense will face another beatable matchup their next time out when they travel to take on the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium.
