        Brock Purdy Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

        Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

        49ers QBs Brock Purdy (toe) is out for Sunday night’s game vs. the Falcons. He was limited in practice all week, potentially setting him up for a Week 8 return. QB Mac Jones gets another start this weekend. He ranks 17th among QBs in fantasy points per game and has finished top-15 in three of four starts. But he gets a surprising Falcons defense that ranks third in adjusted fantasy points allowed to QBs.

        49ers QBs Brock Purdy (toe) and Mac Jones (knee, oblique) were limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said that Purdy was more limited than Jones. We're tentatively projecting Jones to get another start vs. the Falcons on Sunday night, but we'll continue to keep you updated on the situation.

        ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WR Ricky Pearsall (knee) have a "chance" to return for next weekend's game against the Falcons. Both guys missed all three practices this week and were ruled out on Friday. We'll keep tabs on their progress this coming week.

        The injury-ravaged 49ers officially ruled QB Brock Purdy out for San Francisco's Week 6 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Purdy did some work on the side at practice on Friday, but was never close to returning. Mac Jones will be under center once again for the Niners.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) did not practice on Wednesday. He suffered a setback in Week 4 and seems unlikely to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. The Niners have no reason to rush Purdy back with how well QB Mac Jones is playing. It looks like Jones will again be without Ricky Pearsall, George Kittle, and potentially Jauan Jennings this week, which is keeping him outside the top 12 in our QB Rankings. But he has enough upside to be in consideration as a spot starter in 1-QB fantasy leagues.

        49ers QB Mac Jones completed 33 of 49 passes (67%) for 342 yards (7.0 YPA), two TDs, and 0 INTs in Thursday night's overtime win over the Rams. More impressive: He did it without Ricky Pearsall, Jauan Jennings, Brandon Aiyuk, or George Kittle. Jones fed RB Christian McCaffrey eight times for 82 yards and a score. But he also hooked up with WR Kendrick Bourne for 10 completions and 142 yards. Jones' other TD went to TE Jake Tonges, who finished with seven grabs for 41 yards. Jones' timing and ball placement were on point all night. And he stood tall in the pocket amidst countless big hits from a strong Rams pass rush. It was an impressive showing.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a setback with his toe injury last week, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Purdy wasn't close to playing vs. the Rams on Thursday night, per Rapoport, and "could miss additional games." We'll keep tabs on Purdy's status when the 49ers get back to work next week. QB Mac Jones has played well enough so far that the 49ers can be cautious with Purdy (although they evidently weren't cautious enough the first time around). San Francisco's bye is not until Week 14.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) and WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and Jauan Jennings (ankle, ribs) have all been ruled out for Thursday night's game against the Rams. It doesn't sound like any of their injuries are serious, but the short week did them no favors. We'll see if they can make it back for Week 6. QB Mac Jones makes another start vs. the Rams this week. He played well in Week 2 and 3 starts, completing 66% of his passes at 7.0 yards per attempt with 4 TDs vs. 1 INT. He'll be working with a rag tag group of pass catchers on Thursday night, though. The WR corps figures to be led by Kendrick Bourne, Demarcus Robinson, and Skyy Moore, while Jake Tonges again leads the TE room. We'd try not to mess with any of these guys in Week 5 fantasy lineups. RB Christian McCaffrey will be very busy yet again.

        49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe) did not practice on Tuesday. "I feel a lot better compared to the Week 1 game," Purdy said. "Toe is just a little sore from the game, but nowhere near as bad as after Seattle (in Week 1)." Purdy did not say whether he expects to play vs. the Rams on Thursday night, though. We'll see if he practices tomorrow and how he's listed on the final injury report. WRs Ricky Pearsall (knee) and WR Jauan Jennings (ankle, rib) also missed Wednesday's practice.

        49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that QB Brock Purdy is dealing with soreness in the toe he injured earlier this season. Purdy reportedly felt fine during the Week 4 loss to the Jaguars but called Shanahan complaining of soreness on Sunday night. The situation is complicated by the fact that the Niners play the Rams this Thursday night. "Hopefully we'll find out more later today, but any time guys are sore and hurting on a Monday, you usually don't stress too much about it," Shanahan said. "But anytime you have a Thursday game, it's a totally different element. So, I'm concerned with anybody who's not totally healthy at this moment, but we'll have to get more information on that later today to really have a clue of what to speculate." We'll keep you updated on Purdy's status. If he can't play on Thursday night, San Francisco would go back to QB Mac Jones, who's battling his own knee injury.

        After missing 2 games, Brock Purdy returned to action, throwing for 309 yards with 2 TDs and 2 INTs in San Francisco's 26-21 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. He also had 13 rushing yards on 2 carries.

        Turnovers ultimately unraveled the Niners. In addition to a pair of interceptions, Purdy lost one of the two fumbles that the Jaguars recovered.
