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.

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.
