Fantasy football: Where to draft San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy

San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy has been way better than anyone has expected. After bursting onto the scene in the 2nd half of the 2022 season as a 7th-round pick and leading the team to NFC Championship Game, he was even better in 2023, leading them to the Super Bowl. He was an MVP candidate. Below, we look at Brock Purdy’s 2024 fantasy football average draft position (ADP) and where you should draft him.

Entering 2024, the question is whether he can maintain his insanely high statistical production and whether he and the 49ers can finally get over the hump and win a title. With one of the best sets of weapons on offense in the NFL, he is an intriguing option for your fantasy team. He is expected to take another big step in his development and ideally will be a star, becoming a top-10 or top-5 QB in the league. The dual-threat signal-caller is intriguing in terms of fantasy value.

Where should you draft Purdy?

His ADP suggests a lack of belief in his ability to replicate his 2023 success. That said, it means you can get incredible value for him.

He still has RB Christian McCaffrey , WRs Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk , and tight end George Kittle . And assuming he comes back to play from his holdout, OL Trent Williams is arguably the best tackle in football.

So he has the potential to give you high-end quarterback play, especially as your QB2.

As there is fear he will regress, you can get him late on average, even though he has gone as high as the No. 2 overall pick in some drafts.

The 8th round seems crazy for a 30-plus TD passer with some rushing upside as well. But anywhere from the 6th round and later, he gives you great value.
