@ Seattle Seahawks Saturday 8:00 PM ET FOX
Brock Purdy, ranked #5 in HeyTC AI Rankings, leads the 12-5 49ers into a high-stakes divisional-round showdown at Seattle, where the NFC's No. 1 seed Seahawks await after Purdy's Niners gutted out a wild-card thriller over the Eagles—overcoming two picks and a fumble to sling the game-winning TD to McCaffrey despite the brutal loss of TE George Kittle to a torn Achilles. Fully healthy now after shaking off a nagging toe injury and flu-game heroics that powered a 6-1 finish (19 total TDs), Purdy's toeing the line against a Seahawks D that torched him for a career-worst 22.8 QBR and pick in Week 18's 127-yard dud. This rivalry clash matters huge—win and San Francisco crashes the NFC title party; falter and the "Mr. Irrelevant" legend risks an early exit, but with his $265M contract on the line, expect Purdy's grit to flip the script in this short-week Seattle slaughterfest.

Should I Keep Brock Purdy?

HEYTC AI
KEEP 8/10 Confidence (High)

Brock 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.

Career Trajectory: Stable

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.

Team Situation

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.

Long-term Factors
  • 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.
