BALLER MOVE: Start in 12+ Team Leagues
POSITIONAL VALUE: QB1
ANALYSIS: San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy has been playing some really good football lately. Last week against the Buccaneers, he was 21-for-25 for 333 yards and three touchdowns in the 27-14 win. It was the second game in a row that Purdy has thrown three touchdowns, with the other coming in Week 10 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
It was also the fourth game in a row in which Purdy has completed at least 70% of his passes. He's completed 65% or better in all but one game this year, which happened against an elite Cleveland Browns pass defense.
This week, Purdy and the 49ers take on the Seattle Seahawks. Seattle's defense has been decent against the pass this season, allowing the 18th-most fantasy points per game to opposing quarterbacks, so this isn't necessarily a game that's set up for his success.
Still, Purdy's recent play makes him a low-end QB1 play on Thursday. It's understandable if you want to be risk-averse and play someone with a better matchup, but Purdy is currently playing the best football of his NFL career. He should have another strong game on Thanksgiving Day.
