"Matchups matter, and Purdy and his buddies play the Tennessee Titans this week, then the reeling Indianapolis Colts. That should be enough to persuade fantasy managers to slide Purdy into their lineups. The Titans are bad, and they have been lit up recently by Shedeur Sanders, Davis Mills and others. There's more. The 49ers didn't play in Week 14. While we/many mocked the NFL for having teams serve bye weeks in December, during our fantasy playoffs! (how dare they!), the aftermath of this is important."
"Purdy rested, too. He lacks the flashy statistics this season as he battled a sprained left shoulder and then a toe injury, missing more than half the games. Purdy threw three touchdown passes in Week 11 against Arizona, then threw three interceptions the following Monday night against the tougher-than-people-realize Carolina Panthers. He scored 17.12 points in Week 13 against a strong Cleveland Browns defense."
Each NFL week produces new surprises that affect fantasy decisions. Brock Purdy emerges as a viable top-10 fantasy quarterback candidate this month because the 49ers face the Tennessee Titans and Indianapolis Colts, two favorable matchups. The Titans have recently allowed strong performances to opposing quarterbacks. The 49ers had a Week 14 bye, giving Christian McCaffrey, George Kittle and Purdy additional rest. Purdy's season has been hampered by a sprained left shoulder and a toe injury that cost him more than half the games, and his performances have been inconsistent.
