Ruled out for Week 18
Purdy (elbow) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Head coach Kyle Shanahan made it clear earlier in the week that Joshua Dobbs would start the final regular-season game. Purdy banged his right throwing elbow toward the end of a Week 17 loss to the Lions, missing the final few minutes after playing well for most of the night. San Francisco general manager John Lynch said Friday that Purdy's injury isn't anything serious and isn't related to his 2023 elbow surgery, per Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News. Purdy should be fine for the start of the offseason program.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A surgically repaired elbow had Purdy questionable entering last season, but he ultimately backed up his out-of-nowhere rookie campaign with another top-tier season, using the same formula that first led him to prominence -- intermediate throws that produce plenty of yards after the catch, combined with occasional precision strikes downfield. Purdy targeted receivers in the range of 10-19 yards on 27.9 percent of his attempts, second most in the league. His receivers’ work after the catch accounted for a league-high 29.8 percent of his yards on intermediate throws as he led the league with 1,615 YAC in that range. Just 8.3 percent of Purdy’s attempts went beyond 20 yards, but he completed a league-high 53.8 percent of those and had a 6:0 TD:INT ratio. All of that helped him lead the league in YPA at 9.6 -- the most since Kurt Warner in 2000 (9.9) and seventh most in NFL history -- while finishing fifth in passing yards (4,280) and third in TD passes (31). Supported by Christian McCaffrey, Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle and now first-round pick Ricky Pearsall, Purdy's yards after catch and big plays downfield should continue to pile up. The 24-year-old doesn’t run much, which limits his fantasy ceiling, but the combination of coach Kyle Shanahan’s offense and an arm that is stronger than perhaps perceived gives Purdy enough magic for another top-10 fantasy season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might top $55 million per year
Purdy might get more than the $55 million per season that Trevor Lawrence received from the Jaguars in a contract extension from the 49ers, Dan Graziano of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Both the team and the quarterback are motivated to get an extension done, but finding a number that makes sense could be tricky given the way that QB salaries have skyrocketed. San Francisco does have some leverage in negotiations, as the team still has the ability to put the franchise tag on Purdy twice, but it's a tactic the Niners rarely use with their star players. The 25-year-old, who ended the 2024 season dealing with an elbow issue, has one more year remaining on his rookie deal after famously being the final pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.
