Brock Purdy, QB (SF)

Delivers despite taking loss

Purdy completed 22 of 30 pass attempts for 292 yards and three touchdowns while rushing 10 times for 41 yards in Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Rams.

Purdy lost a fumble late in the contest after being hit by a blind-side rush from Rams linebacker Byron Young in the fourth quarter of Sunday's narrow loss. The star quarterback played well despite the late turnover, providing fantasy managers with his best output through three weeks. Purdy and the 49ers will return home to Santa Clara to take on another 1-2 team, the New England Patriots, next Sunday at 4:05 pm PST.
