Brock Purdy at Seattle — Poised to keep rolling in a high-stakes divisional battle

Purdy enters Week 5 playing at an MVP caliber, leading San Francisco to a 4-0 start with 11 touchdown passes and zero sacks taken on the year. Despite missing fullback Kyle Juszczyk to a knee sprain, Purdy remains well-protected while distributing the football to proven targets Mike Evans, Deebo Samuel Sr., and George Kittle.

Facing a tough road test in Seattle, our models project him for approximately 249 passing yards, 1.7 passing scores, and 22 rushing yards (18.1 fantasy points). His high-level efficiency and scrambling ability provide a rock-solid floor, meaning fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats.

Outlook Ja'Marr Chase

Ja'Marr Chase Active at Miami — Primed for High-Impact Return

Chase cleared concussion protocol and is active for Week 5 against the winless Dolphins after practicing fully on Friday and completing pregame routines. Operating as Joe Burrow's primary weapon on the outside alongside Tee Higgins, he avoids missed time and steps directly back into his customary target-earning role.

With a 92% start rate, fantasy managers should feel confident slotting him into their lineups across all formats. Our weekly projection lands around four receptions for 47 yards with strong touchdown equity (0.6 TDs), but his explosive skill set gives him legitimate WR1 tournament-winning ceiling if Cincinnati's passing attack hits its stride.
