Should I Keep Brock Purdy?
HEYTC AIBrock Purdy profiles as a high‑end QB1/2 in dynasty after an efficient but volume‑capped 2025, with strong accuracy and supporting cast but modest yardage totals limiting his ceiling. His age, efficiency and organizational stability make him a safe multi‑year starter, though he is more of a quality anchor than a true league‑winning fantasy cheat code.
Brock Purdy Fantasy Projections & Matchup Analysis
Comfortably keep Purdy at any mid‑round or later cost, especially in Superflex or 2QB formats. In 1QB leagues, he is worth keeping at a discount (double‑digit rounds or modest salary), but if his keeper cost is equivalent to top‑5 QB draft capital or early single‑digit rounds, you can justify letting him go and streaming or targeting cheaper upside QBs instead.
The 49ers went 12-5 in 2025 and secured a Wild Card berth, continuing their run as a playoff contender with a well‑established coaching staff and offensive core. That level of organizational and roster stability strongly supports Purdy’s long‑term fantasy outlook, even if the offense continues to lean balanced and occasionally caps his weekly volume.
- Strong efficiency in 2025: 69.4% completion rate, 100.5 rating and a top‑2 QBR despite only 2,167 passing yards and 20 TDs, indicating high‑level play even on modest volume.
- Toe injury in Week 1 cost time but he still returned to produce multiple spike weeks down the stretch (e.g., 295 yards and 5 TDs vs. IND, 303 yards and 3 TDs vs. CHI), reinforcing ceiling games are there in this offense.
- Elite surrounding talent and scheme remain in place, with Christian McCaffrey, Trent Williams and Kyle Juszczyk all earning All‑Pro honors in 2025 and the 49ers continuing to field a playoff team, supporting sustained offensive efficiency.
