Brock Purdy has played 1,435 snaps with Williams, and the 49ers have averaged a whopping 0.18 expected points added (EPA) per play on those snaps. In the 147 snaps Purdy has taken without Williams, that EPA per play drops to 0.00 -- just an average offense.
Still, he has shown he's willing to miss game checks when he's dissatisfied with his environment. The penalty for holding out from games is much as it was in 2019.
While having Aiyuk on the field for the Week 1 contest against the New York Jets is a significant relief, Williams' absence would be a major concern, especially given the 49ers' Super Bowl aspirations.
