The second season under center for San Francisco 49ers QB Brock Purdy came up just short of a storybook ending after failing to take home the Lombardi Trophy at Super Bowl 58.
Despite losing to the Kansas City Chiefs on the game’s biggest stage, Purdy has undoubtedly established himself as the 49ers’ future at the quarterback position, which has seen his dynasty value skyrocket heading into the 2024 NFL season.
How should dynasty managers value Purdy after an outstanding 2023 campaign in one of the league’s most explosive offenses?
Brock Purdy’s Dynasty Outlook
Much to the dismay of the Trey Lance truthers of the fantasy football world, Purdy’s impressive five-game run at the end of his rookie season turned out to be a preview of things to come for the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft.
In his first full season under center, Purdy put together an MVP-caliber season with 4,280 passing yards, 31 TDs, and 11 INTs.
He took this loaded 49ers offense to another level by leading the league in multiple categories that speak to his aggressiveness when pushing the ball down the field. He finished first in the league in yards per attempt (9.6), air yards per attempt (5.5), and passing attempts where the ball traveled 20+ yards (72).
This is particularly impressive when you consider the Niners averaged the third-fewest passing attempts per game this year — only ahead of the Baltimore Ravens and Tennessee Titans.
Purdy is the unquestioned starting quarterback of a loaded 49ers offense that features elite playmakers like Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and Brandon Aiyuk, which gives him a great fantasy outlook for 2024 and potentially beyond.

The dynasty trade value for Purdy is going to differ drastically depending on what your league format looks like.
In one-QB leagues, Purdy is certainly a nice option under center but probably doesn’t warrant a first-round rookie pick to acquire with the depth of options at the position.
In Superflex leagues, Purdy is well worth a first-round rookie pick, if not quite a bit more given his excellent production so early in his career and how well he is set up to succeed in this San Francisco offense in the coming years.

Now, some skeptics remain regarding Purdy. Personally, I am a believer. His excellence through his first year and a half as a starter, through his command of the offense, pocket presence, and ability to throw with anticipation into tight windows down the field, all translate to sustained success in the NFL.
If you are looking to offload Purdy in a Superflex league to cash out while his value is at an all-time high, then you obviously want to seek out someone who values him like the Niners franchise QB and believes he is the real deal.

If you can get two rookie first-round picks for Purdy in a Superflex format, then I would definitely consider taking the deal depending on where those picks land. If someone pushes the chips to the center with three first-rounders for Purdy, then I would be willing to part ways with his long-term upside at that price point.
