Outlook Brock Purdy

High-End Weapon Upgrades Make Brock Purdy an Exceptional Late-Round Draft Value

Purdy enters the season commanding a revamped San Francisco offense. He distributes to an elite supporting cast featuring newly acquired Mike Evans, George Kittle, and Christian McCaffrey. Our models project Purdy to compile a highly efficient campaign, projecting 4,018 passing yards and 27 touchdowns.

His draft market price is remarkably stable, settling at an ADP of 104 after briefly spiking in June. At this double-digit round valuation, our projections view him as an exceptional value target in standard formats, letting managers secure a highly efficient signal-caller without paying premium draft capital.

Rostered in 98% of leagues, Purdy is a trusted weekly option. Although his limited rushing upside caps his absolute ceiling, his efficiency in Kyle Shanahan's system provides a safe weekly floor. He is a premier target for managers who prefer waiting on the quarterback position.

Outlook Jonathan Taylor

Secure First-Round Status and Dominant Workload Solidify Indianapolis' Lead Back as a Fantasy Anchor

Taylor remains the undisputed lead back in Indianapolis, comfortably sitting atop a backfield ahead of backup DJ Giddens. Although the coaching staff has expressed a desire to manage his workload, our projections show him handling 297 carries. This massive volume ensures he will remain a weekly foundational piece in all fantasy lineups.

Recent contract discussions have led to a quiet summer "hold-in," but Taylor's long-term commitment to the franchise keeps his outlook positive. While some touchdown regression is possible after massive scoring seasons, our models still forecast a robust 12 rushing touchdowns.

In the draft market, Taylor's stock has remained incredibly stable, locked in at a premium ADP of 7.0 over the last month. At this price, our data views him as a highly secure first-round anchor in 1.0 PPR formats, offering both a reliable floor and elite upside.
