49ers' Brock Purdy enjoying "first full offseason"

What It Means

According to those around him, Purdy seems poised to guide the 49ers to another deep playoff run in the 2024 season after putting in his first full offseason of work as the team's starter. The former "Mr. Irrelevant" was the QB3 at best entering his rookie year behind Jimmy Garoppolo and Trey Lance, and then subsequently missed the majority of the 2023 offseason after suffering a brutal elbow injury in the NFC Championship game. Now, he'll enjoy a full offseason of work as the team's undisputed QB1.

Purdy has led to the 49ers to an awe-inspiring 17-4 record in his regular season starts, leading hyper-efficient offenses in point guard fashion. After losing in the NFC Championship in 2022, he took San Francisco to the Super Bowl this past season. Now, their +600 Super Bowl odds are tied with the Chiefs for the shortest in the league for the 2024 season.

Our model projects Purdy to finish as the QB10 in fantasy football this season, with 4,181.9 passing yards to go with 31.2 touchdowns and 11.2 interceptions.
