Brock Purdy 2024 Outlook: A Low-End QB1 Option
6 months agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy continues to be one of the biggest sleepers at the position in fantasy drafts this year. Despite finishing as the QB6 last season, Purdy is usually the 12th quarterback selected in drafts in 2024. That makes him a nice value pick in the middle rounds of one quarterback leagues. Last season, Purdy was one of the most consistent fantasy options and averaged 18 fantasy points per game. He also scored above 20 points in nine of 17 starts while throwing for 4,280 yards and 31 touchdowns on the year. Fantasy managers, though, don't appear to be buying the hype from the 49ers quarterback. However, he is certainly worth a shot in all formats. He has a solid receiving core consisting of Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Those weapons mixed with Kyle Shanahan's scheme has allowed the young quarterback to succeed. Even though he won't provide a ton of stats on the ground -- 144 rush yards in 2023 -- his passing upside in San Francisco's offense makes him a low-end QB1 option in fantasy this season.
