Indiana QB Kurtis Rourke was drafted at Pick 227 of Round 7 by the San Francisco 49ers. Rourke showed promise and a big arm at Ohio University early in his college career before transferring to Indiana. He led the Hoosiers to their first top-ten rankings in some time, but injuries caused a late season collapse for Rourke. He threw for 3042 yards, 29 TDs and five INTs in 2024. He did have the second highest aDOT among Combine QBs at 10.4. He has the arm strength, but his -35 rushing yards this season show the lack of a rushing threat.
Rourke fits HC Kyle Shannahan's offense well.
Though he has a solid arm, the limitations of Rourke can work in the offense because of his ability between the ears.
Rourke's anticipation and intelligence are enough to compete for a back-up job on the 49ers
He won't have fantasy value now and likely never ascends to starting an NFL game.
Rourke would have to show a ton to be fantasy relevant, even in dynasty.
If he does find a way to win the back-up job down the line, he could become interesting if he has to make a spot start.
Keep an eye on camp reports for Rourke.
