Brock Purdy's Stats, Metrics, Game Logs, Projections & Rankings

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game, according to Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to his status during the weekend, as he could be a game-time decision. Last weekend, Brandon Allen got the starting nod and went 17-for-29 with 199 yards, a score, and an interception. Purdy has enjoyed another strong fantasy campaign, averaging 23.4 PPR points through ten games. If Purdy can play, fantasy managers should view him as a low-end QB1, as he will face a tough Buffalo defense in a potentially unfavorable weather setting. If Allen gets the nod for the second-straight week, he would be viewed as a low-end QB2.UPDATE: Purdy practiced in full on Friday, and head coach Kyle Shanahan expects him to play on Sunday. "Lots of things can happen between now and then," but as of now, the Niners expect him to be active against Buffalo.

According to Matt Barrows of The Athletic, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) remained a limited participant during Thursday's practice. Fantasy managers should pay close attention to Friday's injury report as it will likely clarify his availability heading into Sunday's game against the Buffalo Bills. Purdy could not suit up last weekend and ceded starting duties to Brandon Allen. Purdy has enjoyed another excellent fantasy season as he has averaged a solid 23.4 PPR points per game. If Purdy can suit up, he should be considered a solid QB1 in all formats. If not, Allen is best to fade and should only be deployed in deep Superflex formats facing a tough Buffalo defense.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) will be limited in the team's first practice of the week on Wednesday. Purdy was unable to play in the Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers due to right-shoulder soreness, but he did feel good while doing some light throwing on Monday. It's a good sign that he's practicing early in the week, although he may need to upgrade to a full practice later this week to avoid a questionable designation for the Sunday night contest against the Buffalo Bills. Backup Brandon Allen couldn't get much going in a spot start last Sunday, going 17-for-29 for 199 yards with a touchdown and interception. All of San Fran's offensive skill players would benefit from Purdy's return. If Purdy is more of a game-time decision this week, it will make life very difficult for fantasy managers with the Niners not playing until Sunday night. Check back later in the week for more on Purdy's status.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) did some "light throwing" on Monday and that everything was good. Purdy sat out of the Week 12 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday due to a right-shoulder injury that remains somewhat of a mystery. It's good news that the 24-year-old had a successful throwing session to start the week, but his status for the Week 13 contest versus the Buffalo Bills on Sunday is very much up in the air as of now. If Purdy is unable to go by the weekend, Brandon Allen would likely make a second straight start after going just 17-for-29 for 199 yards, one TD and one interception in the loss to Green Bay. Everyone in San Fran's offense struggled in Week 12 with Allen under center, outside of tight end George Kittle. Any fantasy managers invested in the 49ers' offensive weapons is hoping Purdy returns against Buffalo.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy (shoulder) has been ruled out for Week 12, but the team believes he'll be able to play next weekend against the Buffalo Bills. Purdy's progress was inconsistent earlier this week, and the team did think he'd be able to suit up against the Green Bay Packers before ruling him out. Fantasy managers should expect all Niners playmakers to take a step back in terms of fantasy production. Meanwhile, interim starter Brandon Alle will rank as a low-end QB2.
