Brock Purdy's five-year, $265 million extension with the San Francisco 49ers solidifies his role as the franchise quarterback through 2030. This financial commitment underscores the team's confidence in Purdy's abilities and provides a stable foundation for his 2025 fantasy outlook.
2025 Fantasy Projections: Purdy is projected to throw for 4,258.1 passing yards and 25 touchdowns, with 12.7 interceptions. His dual-threat capability is highlighted by an expected 323 rushing yards and 5 rushing touchdowns.
Team Dynamics: The departure of WR Deebo Samuel and Brandon Aiyuk's uncertain status due to knee surgery could impact Purdy's passing options. However, he still has a strong supporting cast with RB Christian McCaffrey, TE George Kittle, and WRs Jauan Jennings and Ricky Pearsall.
Strategic Implications: Kyle Shanahan's quarterback-friendly system, combined with Purdy's efficiency (8.5 yards per attempt in 2024), suggests continued strong production. The 49ers' 8th easiest schedule for quarterbacks in 2025 further enhances Purdy's potential value.
Fantasy Draft Strategy: Ranked as QB14 in FantasyPros ECR, Purdy offers a stable option with upside due to his contract security and dual-threat potential. Fantasy managers should consider him a value pick, especially if chemistry with his reconfigured receiving corps develops positively during training camp.
