Joshua Dobbs Fantasy Overview

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.

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.
