Brock Purdy A QB1 In Week 10 At Tampa Bay
3 days agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will be in Tampa for a Week 10 showdown against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The last time we saw Purdy, he earned a Week 8 30-24 victory over the Dallas Cowboys at home. The former Iowa State Cyclone looked sharp in that game, posting 26.3 fantasy points. Purdy has a juicy matchup coming out of the bye, as Tampa Bay's defense is ranked dead-last in QB fantasy points allowed in Yahoo default scoring. Though Purdy will be without Brandon Aiyuk (knee) for the remainder of the year, there are no other excuses for San Francisco's passing attack to stall in this one, as Christian McCaffrey (Achilles), Deebo Samuel (rib/oblique), and Jauan Jennings (hip) are all likely to play. The Bucs are leading the NFL in rushing touchdowns allowed to quarterbacks -- part of why they've been such a friendly matchup -- and Purdy has been on a bit of a ground-game heater. He's averaging 26.3 yards per game this season, nearly triple 2023's mark, and has rushed for three touchdowns in his last two games. However, McCaffrey's return is likely to stymie that trend. Regardless, Purdy is a solid fantasy starter in Week 10.
