2024 Fantasy Outlook
A surgically repaired elbow had Purdy questionable entering last season, but he ultimately backed up his out-of-nowhere rookie campaign with another top-tier season, using the same formula that first led him to prominence -- intermediate throws that produce plenty of yards after the catch, combined with occasional precision strikes downfield. Purdy targeted receivers in the range of 10-19 yards on 27.9 percent of his attempts, second most in the league. His receivers’ work after the catch accounted for a league-high 29.8 percent of his yards on intermediate throws as he led the league with 1,615 YAC in that range. Just 8.3 percent of Purdy’s attempts went beyond 20 yards, but he completed a league-high 53.8 percent of those and had a 6:0 TD:INT ratio. All of that helped him lead the league in YPA at 9.6 -- the most since Kurt Warner in 2000 (9.9) and seventh most in NFL history -- while finishing fifth in passing yards (4,280) and third in TD passes (31). Supported by Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and now first-round pick Ricky Pearsall, Purdy's yards after catch and big plays downfield should continue to pile up. The 24-year-old doesn’t run much, which limits his fantasy ceiling, but the combination of coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense and an arm that is stronger than perhaps perceived gives Purdy enough magic for another top-10 fantasy season.

Limited, but barely throws Wednesday
Purdy (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant at Wednesday's practice, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
ANALYSIS
Inman relays that Purdy attempted just two passes during the portion of practice that was open to the media, so the quarterback's limited listing may not have constituted much in the way of reps. More specifically, Purdy was seen throwing a short toss to Kyle Juszczyk during running back drills and another such throw to a member of the equipment staff, which was similar to last Wednesday, when he also went down as a limited participant on the official injury report. It's unclear how much on-field work San Francisco will log the rest of the week around the Thanksgiving holiday, but it's likely that Friday's practice will be key for Purdy's chances to miss just one game as a result of right shoulder soreness. The 49ers will travel to Buffalo for a Sunday night game this week.

Josh Allen and the Bills should have a few things going for them Sunday, and they wind up on the winning side in Joe Bartel's NFL Week 13 picks and predictions.
If you're looking for one last fantasy football draft before the season is over, joining a Guillotine League is a great option. Here's a peak at what your draft might look like.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
The last pick in the 2022 draft, Purdy’s remarkable run to relevance last season ended with an elbow injury in the NFC championship. Before that, though, he seemingly had proven enough to earn the starting job for this season. In the last six regular-season games (five starts), Purdy threw 13 TDs and three interceptions as the 49ers went 6-0. He was highly accurate (7th in on-target percentage), but that was partly because he didn’t stretch the field -- his average target depth was just 6.9 yards and a mere 5.3 percent of his attempts surpassed 20 yards, third lowest among QBs with at least 170 attempts. He benefited from the 49ers’ league-high 6.6 YAC average -- a number that won't necessarily regress given the 49ers' excellent collection of skill players and history of YAC-heavy offenses under Kyle Shanahan. If Purdy goes downfield more, all the better. Shanahan said in May that Purdy is expected to be ready for training camp after having UCL surgery in March. That seems optimistic, so it's possible Trey Lance or Sam Darnold ends up starting Week 1. In Lance's case, there's a chance he doesn't give the starting job back if he gets it, considering he was the third overall pick in 2021 and is actually a few months younger than Purdy.

Ruled out for Week 12
Purdy, who's been dealing with shoulder soreness, has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 12 matchup against the Packers, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Purdy was ruled out Friday afternoon before the team departed to Wisconsin. The third-year signal-caller had been limited in Wednesday's practice with what was believed at the time to just be some transient soreness, but Purdy surprisingly regressed Thursday despite only doing light throwing. "This is something that we didn't think would happen early in the week," head coach Kyle Shanahan said. "We were fully preparing for Brock to go and got a little surprised about this yesterday."
