49ers HC Kyle Shanahan said Wednesday that QB Josh Dobbs will start this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. QB Brock Purdy will miss the game with his right elbow injury, and San Francisco evidently saw enough of QB Brandon Allen earlier this year. Dobbs has flashed some fantasy upside in the past, most recently last year with the Cardinals and Vikings, finishing as a top-12 fantasy QB in six of his 12 full games. With rushing ability, a nice group of weapons, and a strong offensive scheme, Dobbs is an interesting play this week in superflex leagues and DFS.
49ers QB Brock Purdy suffered a right elbow contusion with nerve inflammation in the Monday night loss to the Lions, HC Kyle Shanahan said. Purdy will likely miss this weekend's finale vs. the Cardinals but isn't expected to have any long-term issues.
49ers QB Brock Purdy injured his right elbow late in Monday night's loss to the Lions. HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that the team believes it's a nerve issue but that Purdy is scheduled for more tests on Tuesday. Shanahan was non-committal on Purdy's availability for this weekend's finale vs. the Cardinals. Considering San Francisco has nothing to play for, there's a good chance it's QB Josh Dobbs at the controls on Sunday. In a good scheme with plenty of weapons and rushing ability, Dobbs would be in play as a QB2 and in DFS.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that 49ers RB Isaac Guerendo is "unlikely to play" Sunday at Miami because of his hamstring injury.
49ers QB Brock Purdy resurrected his season by completing 20-of-25 for 325 yards and two TDs against one of the best pass defenses in the league. He mostly focused on WR Jauan Jennings and TE George Kittle who combined for 241 yards, catching 13 of 14 targets.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. HC Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy is no longer rehabbing the shoulder. It shouldn't be an issue going forward. Purdy gets a tough Bears pass defense this weekend, though, and will be without RB Christian McCaffrey and potentially LT Trent Williams. That leaves him in low-end QB1 territory in the Week 14 Rankings.
49ers QB Brock Purdy only threw for 94 yards in the 49ers loss against the Bills. He also turned the ball over on a fumble. Purdy was not comfortable in the pocket and could not get anything going in the passing game.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is active for tonight’s game vs. the Bills. He had a good week by all accounts, progressing to a full practice on Friday. There’s still elevated risk to using Purdy in fantasy lineups with the throwing shoulder issue, though. And the spot is tough against the Bills’ ninth-ranked QB defense in wintery Buffalo. Purdy is not a recommended QB1 play – but his return is good news for San Francisco’s skill-position players. QB Brandon Allen is inactive as the emergency third QB tonight, leaving QB Josh Dobbs as the backup.
ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that 49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is expected to start tonight's game vs. the Bills. Purdy progressed to a full practice on Friday and has not experienced any setbacks since, per Schefter. Purdy's return is excellent news for San Francisco's offense. But we'd try not to use Purdy in 1-QB leagues with the shoulder issue and a tough matchup against the Bills in what's expected to be a cold and potentially snowy game. The 49ers are still implied for only 19.25 points.
49ers QB Brock Purdy (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday night's game vs. the Bills. But he put in a full practice on Friday, and HC Kyle Shanahan said afterward that Purdy is on track to play. “Lots of things can happen between now and then, but right now he's playing,” Shanahan said. We'll look for further updates on Purdy's status. But between the injury to his throwing shoulder and the matchup with Buffalo's ninth-ranked QB defense, Purdy is not a recommended QB1 play this week. San Francisco is currently implied for only 19.25 points -- tied for fifth fewest on the week.
