Brock Purdy Has An Elite Fantasy Floor In 2024
In Brock Purdy’s second season, he proved that his rookie season was not a fluke. He finished fifth in passing yards (4.280) and third in passing TDs (31), which gave him the QB 6 finish in fantasy. Purdy can run the ball, but he does not do it with much frequency.
This does not really hurt his value, as he may have one of the best arsenals around him out of any quarterback in the league with Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, Christian McCaffery, and George Kittle. The 49ers also drafted Ricky Pearsall in the first round, which could add some more variety to the team. The talent of these players doesn’t force Purdy to always make the tough throws to make big plays, as they are one of the best YAC teams in the leagues.
Although a lot of his yards do come from YAC, he is also highly capable of throwing the ball deep. Purdy finished 2023 with the highest completion percentage of passes over 20 yards through the air (53.8 percent).
Due to the offense surrounding him and the skill set he has already shown, it would not surprise if Purdy reaches or exceeds those numbers in the upcoming season. Even if he does take somewhat of a step back, the 49ers-powered offense will allow plenty of touchdown opportunities for Purdy, which gives him a great floor in 6-point passing touchdown leagues.
Our consensus projections for the 2024 season are 372 completions, 4623 yards, 33 touchdowns, 9 interceptions through the air, 38 carries for 140 yards, and 2 rushing touchdowns.
