Brock Purdy, QB, San Francisco 49ers (vs. TEN)
Whenever you start a quarterback on a run first offense, there’s always the risk that the running backs steal all the touchdowns. If that happens, so be it. Still, we can’t discount the tremendous opportunity in front of Brock Purdy this week.
The San Francisco 49ers are well rested coming off their bye. As a reward, they get a home date with a Tennessee Titans defense that just gave up 364 yards and four total touchdowns to Shedeur Sanders.
The Titans allow the ninth-most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks. Yes, it is very likely that this game is over after three quarters, limiting what Purdy needs to do in the fourth. But the 49ers still have to get to the point where the game is decided. They are probably good four at least four touchdowns in this one. Christian McCaffrey can’t run for all of them, right?
Jared Goff, QB, Detroit Lions (at LAR)
It’s always risky recommending Jared Goff on the road. However, I do think the Road Goff/Home Goff splits are a bit misconstrued. It’s really more of an issue with Dome Goff and Outside Goff. That won’t be an issue this week.
The Detroit Lions are coming off a strong win against the Dallas Cowboys. They scored 44 points. Yet, Goff only managed one touchdown pass thanks to Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery hogging the other four. That is scoring randomness and something we cannot account for
The Los Angeles Rams have a great defense. However, they are much more vulnerable through the air than on the ground. Plus, they are likely to force the Lions into negative game script, something the Cowboys could not do. The hope here is that we get a good old fashioned shootout.
Goff has thrown a touchdown in every game this season, giving him a solid floor. Given how stout the Rams are against the run, hopefully, the Lions lean on the pass when they get closer to the goal line, putting Goff firmly in the QB1 ranks.
Justin Herbert | LAC (at KC)
Justin Herbert doesn’t know how to go half speed, and that’s why he’s always on our radar. Less than a week after getting surgery on his non-throwing left hand, he took seven sacks and ran 10 times to get his team a big win over the Eagles on Monday night.
There are some hold-your-breath moments, and a game with 12 completions is never going to land him inside the top 12 at the position, but he certainly wasn’t scared.
All of his passing production essentially came on dumpoffs to running backs: Kimani Vidal picked up 60 yards on a little crossing route, and Omarion Hampton scored their only touchdown of the night on a nice design in close.
If there’s a week to go this direction, it’s next in Dallas. The Chiefs have held seven of their past nine opponents under their season average in QB PPG, and I expect that trend to reach eight of 10.
Herbert is a gamer, and maybe he can eliminate the big bad Chiefs this week. That’s possible, but I find it unlikely that he does it with a big fantasy total next to his name.
Jordan Love | GB (at DEN)
Would you blindly back a “hot” three-point shooter?
Without any context, I hope not.
Jordan Love is a good quarterback and might well be enough to get the Packers where they want to go, but seven scores on 55 attempts over the past two weeks is a heater that isn’t going to be sustained for any extended period of time.
He put himself in a tough spot in the first drive of the win over the Bears, taking a sack to put Green Bay behind the chains and then throwing a pick as he tried to make up for the first mistake. That was his first INT in over a month: he’s largely shown growth on that front this season, and that’s what the team wants.
This is a Josh Jacobs-based offense that can pass. That’s probably optimal for on-field success, but for us, it’s prohibitive. Love has just four top-10 finishes this season and has failed to clear 30 pass attempts in each of his past four games. He needs the type of unsustainable efficiency we’ve seen of late just to threaten lineups, and this matchup is pretty clearly an issue to sustaining success at a league-average level, never mind the crazy recent rates.
Denver Defensive Rankings
- Touchdown Pass Rate: 1st
- Completion Percentage: 3rd
- Yards Per Pass: 4th
- Blitz Rate: 6th
- Pressure rate: 7th
I’m not comfortable starting Love anywhere this week, but let me be clear: DO NOT drop him. The Packers draw the Bears and Ravens in Weeks 16-17, matchups I anticipate having a top-8 grade for Love in.
