Brock Purdy Turning Into A Pumpkin?
1 year agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy failed to lead his team to a comeback victory for the third consecutive game on Sunday in a 31-17 home loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. Purdy completed 22 of 31 attempts for 365 yards passing, one touchdown, and two interceptions. He also scrambled six times for 57 yards, the best rushing day of his career. While today's performance was serviceable for fantasy, it was inadequate for beating a rested Cincinnati team. During San Francisco's three-game losing streak, Purdy has thrown five second-half interceptions, all of which have happened with the 49ers either tied or closely trailing. He would have had a third INT to end San Francisco's last chance to come back but was rescued by a roughing penalty only to lose a fumble the next play. On the bright side, Purdy seems to be developing some game as a runner, which would be a boon to his fantasy value. The 49ers will take a Week 9 bye to regroup before a trip to Jacksonville in Week 10.
