Brock Purdy A Strong Play In Divisional Round
10 months agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to take care of business at home in Saturday night's Divisional Round contest against the upstart Green Bay Packers. The second-year pro out of Iowa State enjoyed a breakout season in the regular season, finishing as the QB6 in total fantasy points. Green Bay's pass defense was decent in the regular season, finishing as the 12th-toughest defense against quarterbacks in fantasy. Last week in Dallas, they allowed Dak Prescott to post 403 yards passing and three touchdowns, though they did collect two interceptions, and it took Prescott a whopping 60 attempts to get there. Purdy is right up there with the top QB options in DFS and playoff pools this week, though he'll probably have a tough time outproducing Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson, who are more likely to contribute rushing numbers. Low-intensity rain and wind are expected during the game, which could lead to fewer passes, but Purdy hasn't needed large attempt totals this year to do damage.
