ANALYSIS: The San Francisco 49ers barely edged the Las Vegas Raiders on the road but they did enough to earn their 12th W of the season having already clinched their division and now looking at topping the whole conference with another win next weekend.
Brock Purdy led Frisco to victory at Las Vegas and is coming off his second-best game of the year since becoming a starter having scored only 18.1 FP and entering the QB1-realm for the third time this season when starting.
Purdy finished with a solid 22-of-35 completions for 284 (season-high) yards... and 2 TDs against just one interception. This was an extraordinary game put together by the rookie in helping his team win their ninth consecutive game of the year coming from behind, and it just added one more reason for fantasy GMs out there to bet on him for W18 and longer (for those of you into DFS contests) if Jimmy Garoppolo remains out.
Purdy has scored at least 15.3 FP in each of his five starts this season. He has never completed fewer than 15 passes in a single game, nor fallen from reaching 185 passing yards. He's thrown 2 passing TDs every time he's started while only getting picked three times over five games, never more than once in a single one.
