Brock Purdy Looks To Continue Winning Ways In Season Opener

Brock Purdy Looks To Continue Winning Ways In Season Opener

one year ago

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy will look to continue his undefeated streak as a starter at the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. In 2022 Purdy rattled off seven straight wins when then-starter Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a foot injury. This year he figures to be a better real-life quarterback than in fantasy, where his ceiling is capped by his lack of rushing skills and mediocre arm strength. Purdy could occasionally run into useful fantasy performances, but he'll mostly be relying on his playmakers to run for touchdowns after the catch. Against an improved Steelers defense, Purdy is worth a shot as a low-end QB2 in superflex formats but there are probably better options in the free-agent pool if you need someone this week in one-quarterback leagues.
