Purdy has rattled off five straight top-12 finishes over his past five games, and that’s been done with a happy helping of work in the ground game (29 rush attempts, 159 yards, 4 TDs in that span). However, Purdy appears to have picked up a shoulder injury as HC Kyle Shanahan alluded to earlier in the week. They’re calling it soreness heading into Week 12, and after not speaking to the press like he normally does and has all season, there’s speculation about Purdy’s status for this weekend’s game being up in the air. Shanahan did say that Purdy was able to work a little bit more yesterday than he did on Wednesday, which could mean he’s trending in the right direction – though today’s injury report will be the most telling about what fantasy managers can expect going into the weekend. If Purdy would miss, the entire 49ers offense would receive a significant downgrade – especially the likes of WR Deebo Samuel, Jauan Jennings, and co. Christian McCaffrey will likely remain unaffected by the QB change, as his role is too good to be affected by a change under center. In the event Purdy is sidelined, QB Brandon Allen is the backup for San Francisco and would be worth a look off the waiver wire in the deepest superflex and 2QB leagues.
