Mac Jones Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

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.

49ers QB Mac Jones (knee, oblique) is active for today’s game vs. the Buccaneers. He’ll be operating at less than 100% after getting beat up in Week 5. And the 49ers are missing WRs Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle. That leaves Jones as just a QB2 in the Week 6 rankings.

49ers QB Mac Jones (knee, oblique) is expected to play vs. the Buccaneers today, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. Jones was limited in practice all week and listed as questionable after taking numerous big hits in the Week 5 win over the Rams. We're not projecting the injuries to impact his play today, but they add some risk to his profile. Jones will also be missing WRs Ricky Pearsall and Brandon Aiyuk and TE George Kittle, leaving him as just a QB2.

49ers QB Mac Jones (knee, oblique) was limited in practice throughout the week and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game vs. the Buccaneers. He took some big hits in the Week 5 win over the Rams but should be ready to start on Sunday. The Niners worked out three QBs on Friday but did not sign any.

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 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.

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.

The forecast for today's Titans-Jaguars game calls for an 85-95% chance of rain throughout the contest. There's lightning in the area, so we could even see this one delayed for a bit. Winds are expected to come in around 10 mph with gusts of 20-30. That's enough to impact some deep passes and kicks. WRs Calvin Ridley and Brian Thomas and TE Chig Okonwko look a bit riskier with this weather, although they can stay in fantasy lineups in most cases. Try to avoid both kickers in this game.
