Brock Purdy Posts Best Fantasy Day Of Season In Week 17 Loss

Brock Purdy Posts Best Fantasy Day Of Season In Week 17 Loss

a month ago

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy had an excellent game -- at least for fantasy purposes-- during a 40-34 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday night. He was 27-of-35 for 377 yards and three touchdowns through the air, adding three carries for 12 yards and another touchdown on the ground. Purdy, who celebrated his 25th birthday this week, spread it around, tossing touchdowns to rookie receiver Ricky Pearsall, fullback Kyle Jusczcyk, and receiver Deebo Samuel Sr. on pop-pass reverse. Purdy's season-best, 30-plus point performance in fantasy included two crucial second-half interceptions that threw a wet blanket on his real-life football night. Adding injury to insult, Purdy was forced out of the game with a right elbow injury in San Francisco's final garbage-time drive before backup Joshua Dobbs ran in the Niners' fifth touchdown of the night. Purdy -- if healthy -- will close out his third NFL season in a meaningless game in Arizona on Sunday.
