Huddle Up: Purdy's status for Week 12 is uncertain at this point, so fantasy players will need to keep an eye on the situation. He can be a starting option in fantasy leagues if he is able to play.

Huddle Up: Purdy is dealing with soreness in his shoulder but probably will be able to play this week as long as he does not suffer a setback. He is coming off his worst game of the season but has posted at least two total touchdowns in each of the last five games. He can be considered a starting option in fantasy leagues if active.

Huddle Up: Purdy probably will miss some practice time this week, but it does not appear to be dealing with serious injury. He was held to a season-low 159 passing yards in the last game, but his running ability helps his fantasy value. He will be facing a good Green Bay Packers defense in Week 12 but could be a possible low-end No. 1 quarterback in some deeper leagues.

Huddle Up: Purdy had the benefit of Christian McCaffrey returning to the offense. While CMC didn't tear it up on the ground, he had six receptions out of the backfield, making life easier for Purdy. That's a huge development going forward, as long as McCaffrey can stay healthy. Purdy could be back in the low-end QB1 conversation heading into Week 11 against the Seattle Seahawks.

Huddle Up: Purdy has thrown one touchdown or less in six of his eight games this season, but Tampa Bay's secondary has been vulnerable. Throw in the expected return of Christian McCaffery, and Purdy could be headed for a QB1 performance in Week 10.

Huddle Up: Purdy has displayed an ability to do some damage with his legs this season, as his 210 yards on the ground through eight games are more than he had through his first 25 career outings. The 24-year-old has accounted for at least two scores in three straight and is proving he can produce without the entirety of a healthy supporting cast available. San Francisco heads on a bye before paying a visit to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and their awful secondary in Week 10. Purdy should be a solid QB1 option for that game.

Huddle Up: Purdy was error prone, but he also lost Deebo Samuel early due to illness, and Brandon Aiyuk exited the game with a serious knee injury, leaving Purdy to work with Ronnie Bell, Chris Conley, Jacob Cowing and Ricky Pearsall as his receiver corps. Purdy could be in for a big downgrade in terms of fantasy production, at least until Christian McCaffrey can make it back and give him another reliable pass catcher.

Huddle Up: Over the first five games of the season, Purdy racked up the yards (1,374; fourth-most in the NFL) but threw for more than one touchdown in a game just once. It underscores the tenuous nature of his value to fantasy owners since he doesn't offer much with his legs. When he throws for multiple scores, like he did Thursday night, Purdy is a possible midrange/low-end QB1. When he doesn't, he falls in the QB2 area. That will continue to be the case as the season wears on, so you'll want to pick your spots with Purdy based on matchups and hope he delivers. Looking ahead to Week 7, he gets a Super Bowl rematch with the Chiefs, a team he threw for 255 yards and 1 TD against back in February.

Huddle Up: Purdy has thrown for one or fewer touchdowns in four of his five games, he has just one 300-yard game and four interceptions. He has put up numbers closer to a QB2 for fantasy purposes. To be fair, he has had some injury issues with George Kittle, Deebo Samuel and Christian McCaffrey missing time.
