The San Francisco 49ers (3-0) will host the Jacksonville Jaguars (2-1) in Week 4. Here’s the latest fantasy football news and advice to help you with your lineups this week and moving forward, specifically regarding QB Brock Purdy.
Is Brock Purdy Playing in Week 4?
Purdy (shoulder/toe) is questionable for Sunday’s game against the Jaguars but is in line to start and play throughout the game.
We’ll continue to monitor the 49ers’ injury report leading up to kickoff for any changes. You can also visit and bookmark our Fantasy News Tracker for the latest updates.
Should You Start or Sit Brock Purdy in Week 4?
The nagging toe injury cost Brock Purdy another game, but all signs point to a Week 4 return.
San Francisco escaped with a win in Week 3, but the Mac Jones experience was a little more uneven (one touchdown and one interception) than it was the week prior in New Orleans (three touchdowns and zero picks).
We are reminded seemingly every week that rushing production as much as anything is what fuels production at the QB position. Purdy ran for 17 yards in the season opener and looked comfortable in space in 2024, but there are obvious reasons to worry about his potential on that front in the short term.
I think he’s worth holding onto, especially as the second half of the season approaches and this team (maybe, hopefully) trends toward full strength, but I’m not tempted to roll the dice this week, assuming he suits up.
Purdy sits comfortably outside of my top 15 at the position ahead of Week 4.
