BALLER MOVE: Add in 14+ Team Leagues
ROSTERED IN: 20% of Leagues
ANALYSIS: Who would have thought Brock Purdy has this much production inside of him? In the four games he's started, Purdy has not dropped below the 15-FP line and has put up numbers on all fronts barring pass completions. Yes, that hurts the team as a whole in terms of receptions, but Purdy has kept his scores as clean and high as possible.

GAIN ACCESSPurdy is coming off his second-best performance of the year thanks to completing 15 passes (22 attempts) for 234 yards and a couple of touchdowns against just one interception. He reached 17 FP against Washington, his second-highest tally after he put up a 21.7-FP score facing Tampa Bay in Week 14.
The sudden starter has now thrown 2 TDs in each of the four games he's started while only getting picked twice (once in Week 13, once last Saturday) and adding one rushing touchdown to his season stat line (in Week 14 hosting the Bucs).
Purdy's 17.6 FPPG in the last month of play would rank top-14 on the season as a whole. It's not hard to see him keeping it up for two more weeks and into the postseason (when Jimmy G is expected back) considering he's a low-volume, low-yardage, no-risks-taken passer keeping it safe on a weekly basis.
The ceiling is not incredible with Purdy but you can do much worse than streaming the freshest Niners starter to cap the year in deeper formats.

It's generally more forgiving in fantasy football to whiff on your wide receiver picks in the draft, because you can find more value on the waiver wire.

Week 12 Waiver Wire Pickups - Devin Singletary, Bhayshul Tuten, Chris Rodriguez Jr. Fantasy Football Outlooks
The running back position is one of major scarcity in fantasy football. Even though it's so tough to find startable running backs after the draft, though, things do change over the course of the season. We often see players take bigger shares of their backfield work or simply take over starting jobs in their backfields, […]
