Brock Purdy Fantasy Overview

After capping off the opening drive with a TD to TE George Kittle, Brock Purdy failed to register another in the 49ers' win over the Commanders. But he still completed 21 of 29 attempts for 264 yards while adding another 28 rushing yards to finish as a back-end QB1 in Week 6.

49ers GM John Lynch conceded on Thursday morning that WR Mike Evans (ribs) is iffy for this weekend's game vs. the Broncos. "He is old school in his mindset and he doesn’t want to miss," Lynch said. "Mike will make every attempt and we’ll see where that goes." We'll keep you updated on Evans' status over the next few days, but fantasy managers should be making other plans for Week 4. Evans' absence would leave the Niners down to Deebo Samuel, Jacob Cowing, and Jordan Watkins as the healthy WRs on the active roster. WR KhaDarel Hodge missed Wednesday's practice with a knee injury. WRs Brandin Cooks and Dante Pettis are on the practice squad. TE George Kittle and RB Christian McCaffrey could play even bigger roles than usual against Denver.

Purdy completed 15 of his 27 pass attempts for 297 yards and 4 TDs without throwing an INT in the 49ers win over the Cardinals. He also added 34 rushing yards on 2 carries on his way to a QB1 overall ranked Week 3 pending Sunday- and Monday Night Football.

49ers TE George Kittle bounced back from a quiet Week 1 with 4 catches, 80 yards, and a TD against Miami. He caught all 4 of his targets, taking advantage of what could prove to be his most favorable matchup of the season.
