Brock Purdy Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

According to ESPN’s Nick Wagoner, the 49ers are still unsure when WR Brandon Aiyuk will return. Aiyuk suffered a multi-ligament knee injury back in Week 7 of the 2024 campaign. With WR Deebo Samuel now in Washington, there are plenty of targets available in San Francisco.

49ers WR Jauan Jennings wants a new contract or a trade, a source tells ESPN's Adam Schefter. Jennings is scheduled to make $7.5 million this season, the second of the two-year, $15.4 million deal he signed in May of 2024. Jennings responded to that deal by posting career highs across the board last year: 77 catches, 975 yards, and six TDs.

NBC Sports Bay Area's Matt Maiocco hears that "it's not out of the question" that 49ers WR Brandon Aiyuk (knee) is ready for Week 1. Aiyuk is working his way back from October's torn ACL and MCL. He won't be ready for the start of training camp, and the expectation has been that he'll open the season on the PUP list, missing at least the first four games. But Maiocco hears that Aiyuk is "ahead of schedule" and "doing really well."

The 49ers signed QB Brock Purdy to a five-year extension as he enters the final year of his rookie contract. This $265 million contract places him fifth among QBs in total value and just inside the top-10 in yearly value.

The 49ers have agreed to trade WR Deebo Samuel to the Commanders for a fifth-round pick, according to multiple reports.

49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that QB Josh Dobbs will start this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. QB Brock Purdy will miss the game with his right elbow injury, and San Francisco evidently saw enough of QB Brandon Allen earlier this year. Dobbs has flashed some fantasy upside in the past, most recently last year with the Cardinals and Vikings, finishing as a top-12 fantasy QB in six of his 12 full games. With rushing ability, a nice group of weapons, and a strong offensive scheme, Dobbs is an interesting play this week in superflex leagues and DFS.

49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a right elbow contusion with nerve inflammation in the Monday night loss to the Lions, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Purdy will likely miss this weekend's finale vs. the Cardinals but isn't expected to have any long-term issues.

49ers QB Brock Purdy injured his right elbow late in Monday night's loss to the Lions. HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that the team believes it's a nerve issue but that Purdy is scheduled for more tests on Tuesday. Shanahan was non-committal on Purdy's availability for this weekend's finale vs. the Cardinals. Considering San Francisco has nothing to play for, there's a good chance it's QB Josh Dobbs at the controls on Sunday. In a good scheme with plenty of weapons and rushing ability, Dobbs would be in play as a QB2 and in DFS.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is "unlikely to play" Sunday at Miami because of his hamstring injury.

49ers QB Brock Purdy resurrected his season by completing 20-of-25 for 325 yards and two TDs against one of the best pass defenses in the league. He mostly focused on WR Jauan Jennings and TE George Kittle who combined for 241 yards, catching 13 of 14 targets.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy is no longer rehabbing the shoulder. It shouldn't be an issue going forward. Purdy gets a tough Bears pass defense this weekend, though, and will be without RB Christian McCaffrey and potentially LT Trent Williams. That leaves him in low-end QB1 territory in the Week 14 Rankings.

49ers QB Brock Purdy only threw for 94 yards in the 49ers loss against the Bills. He also turned the ball over on a fumble. Purdy was not comfortable in the pocket and could not get anything going in the passing game.

49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He had a good week by all accounts, progressing to a full practice on Friday. There’s still elevated risk to using Purdy in fantasy lineups with the throwing shoulder issue, though. And the spot is tough against the Bills’ ninth-ranked QB defense in wintery Buffalo. Purdy is not a recommended QB1 play – but his return is good news for San Francisco’s skill-position players. QB Brandon Allen is inactive as the emergency third QB tonight, leaving QB Josh Dobbs as the backup.
