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 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.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice, but HC Kyle Shanahan sounded optimistic about his availability for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars. "I think [the toe] is feeling better each day and if that continues he should be good on Sunday," Shanahan said. We'll get another update on Purdy on Friday afternoon.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (left shoulder, toe) was limited in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said Purdy is "progressing good with his toe, he’s better today than he was on Sunday." We're tentatively expecting him back for this weekend's game vs. the Jaguars but will keep you updated on his status over the next few days. Purdy's mobility could be limited coming off that toe injury, though, and his pass-catching corps is banged-up. That has Purdy outside the top 12 in our Week 4 QB rankings.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) is inactive for today’s game vs. the Cardinals. He got in three limited practices this week, so we’re tentatively expecting him back for Week 4. QB Mac Jones gets another start today after throwing for 279 yards and three scores last week.
ESPN's Adam Schefter is reporting that 49ers QB Brock Purdy is not expected to start Sunday's game, setting up Mac Jones to make his second consecutive start.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) remained limited in Thursday's practice, "although he appeared to be doing a bit more than he did previously," according to The Athletic's Vic Tafur. Purdy said afterward that he's happy with the progress he's making and is "day to day." He added, "(I’ve) definitely got to see come game time how I feel. Obviously I want to play every game, dude. … If you ask me, I’d love to (play), but I’m trying to be smart with my body.” We'll see how Purdy's listed on Friday's final injury report and monitor his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, left shoulder) got in a limited practice on Wednesday. HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that Purdy "has a chance" to play vs. the Cardinals this weekend. We'll keep you updated on his status over the next few days. Purdy would be a shaky Week 3 fantasy bet unless he gets in a full practice on Thursday or Friday. QB Mac Jones was serviceable in relief last week, completing 67% of his passes at 7.2 yards per attempt with 3 TDs and 0 INTs.
A source told ESPN's Adam Schefter that 49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) "progressed a lot this week." The team is still "not optimistic" that Purdy will be able to play Week 3, per Schefter, "but it’s not out of the question." Purdy notably avoided short-term IR, which means the 49ers expect him to miss fewer than four games. We'll keep an eye on his status this coming week. We're tentatively projecting QB Mac Jones to start the Week 3 meeting vs. Arizona, with Purdy the favorite to be back for Week 4.
HC Kyle Shanahan has officially ruled QB Brock Purdy out for San Francisco's Week 2 trip to New Orleans. San Francisco will start Mac Jones in Purdy's place.
49ers QB Brock Purdy is expected to miss two to five games with a turf toe variant, per NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. He suffered the injury in the second quarter of Week 1 vs. Seattle. Mac Jones will start in his place this week.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (toe, shoulder) is a "long shot" to play vs. the Saints this weekend, HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday. Shanahan added that Purdy could be looking at a multi-week absence. SI's Grant Cohn hears that the team is expecting Purdy to miss two games. His absence will leave QB Mac Jones under center.
Niners QB Brock Purdy came away from Sunday's win over the Seahawks with an injury to his left shoulder and a toe injury, according to multiple reports. The toe issue is reportedly more significant than the shoulder. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Purdy's "uncertain" for Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Niners HC Kyle Shanahan told reporters Monday that all the team's "ACL guys" -- in the words of The Athletic's Matt Barrows -- are on track to return around Week 6. That includes WR Brandon Aiyuk, of course.
