For our next addition to our Buy-Hold-Sell chart, we looked into Brock Purdy. As a relatively unknown player when the San Francisco 49ers chose him with the last pick of the 2022 NFL Draft, he exploded onto the scene with a 5-0 record to finish the 2022 season. During these 5 games, he completed 67.1% of his passes for 1,374 yards, 13 touchdowns, and only 4 interceptions. These numbers are particularly impressive given his extremely low draft capital.
A significant argument against Brock Purdy’s fantasy value is the belief that he is a “system quarterback,” succeeding primarily due to Kyle Shanahan’s offensive mastery. While Shanahan’s offensive system is undoubtedly well-designed, it’s important to consider that Purdy has executed it flawlessly. Even if Purdy benefits from the system, that’s not a reason to devalue him. There was a time when Tom Brady, too, was labeled a system quarterback, and we know how that story turned out.
At just 24 years old, Brock Purdy is still extremely young with considerable room for growth. Furthermore, with two more years left on his rookie contract, he offers great value. In relation to fantasy football, this makes him a very appealing long-term investment. The combination of his age, previous performances, and current fantasy price makes him a medium-risk, high-reward scenario.
In Superflex leagues, Brock Purdy is currently valued around the 1.05 mark. Given his impressive rookie season and better fantasy finish in 2023 than even Patrick Mahomes, this is an absolute steal. If you can acquire him at this price or lower, he’s a must-buy. His rookie production already demonstrated that he could perform under pressure and in high-stakes games, making him a valuable long-term asset for any fantasy roster.
Buying Brock Purdy is an extremely smart move, especially if you are in need of a quarterback. His stellar performance in 2022 and 2023, coupled with his age and the affordability in fantasy leagues, makes him a high-potential, medium-risk investment. Whether or not you buy into the “system quarterback” narrative, the results on the field speak for themselves. If you can acquire him at the market value of 1.05 or lower in Superflex leagues, you are looking at a potentially game-changing addition to your fantasy team.
