Should You Start or Sit Brock Purdy in Week 11?
Brock Purdy celebrated the return of Christian McCaffrey by giving fantasy managers their fourth top-10 finish from him this season. He’s averaged over nine yards per pass in each of San Francisco’s past four wins, and with them favored to win this week, it’s plenty reasonable to project another ultra-efficient effort from their QB.
This team may be missing Brandon Aiyuk, but Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall seem capable of picking up that slack. McCaffrey adds a dimension to this offense that few have access to, and with Purdy showcasing an increased willingness to scramble, this is the profile of a top-10 QB the rest of the way.
As for this matchup, we saw Purdy light them up for 255 yards and three touchdowns on just 28 passes in Week 6. The Seahawks defense is one that I trust against below-average offenses and target otherwise.
Per our Offensive+ metric, the 49ers are a top-10 offense thus far despite being bitten by the injury bug. With this team trending near full strength, I’m confident in their projection this week, and that results in Purdy being ranked as a starter, with confidence, for me.
