Brock Purdy seen as undervalued quarterback in fantasy football

Summary

Brock Purdy, who started his NFL career as Mr. Irrelevant in the 2022 draft, is considered a misvalued quarterback in fantasy leagues, typically ranked mid-tier QB1/QB2. Despite this, his performance metrics are strong, with an average of 19.2 fantasy points per game in 2023, suggesting he should be valued higher. Analysts attribute his low draft position, around 80-90, to perceptions of being a 'system quarterback' and concerns over his ability to rush. Purdy benefits from playing in a highly supportive system with elite teammates like Christian McCaffrey and George Kittle. Injury concerns, however, remain a significant factor in evaluating his fantasy potential.
