NFL Media analyst Dan Parr has released his 2026 fantasy football quarterback rankings, and the San Francisco 49ers’ signal‑caller Brock Purdy finds himself positioned ninth overall. He sits in Tier 3 of the list, trailing only Dak Prescott among the group.
Purdy’s consistency is underscored by three consecutive seasons among the top ten quarterbacks in fantasy points per game, and a 2025 campaign that, despite eight missed contests due to a turf toe injury, still placed him fifth in the metric.
In the nine games he did play, he threw for 2,167 yards, 20 touchdowns and ten interceptions, while adding three rushing scores that boosted his fantasy appeal.
Projecting a full 17‑game schedule yields an estimated 4,093 passing yards, 38 touchdowns and nearly six rushing touchdowns, though the same projection also forecasts a career‑high 19 interceptions.
A New Chapter for the 49ers
The offseason saw the 49ers augment their receiving arsenal with the additions of veteran Mike Evans and slot specialist Christian Kirk, a move that could open up more downfield opportunities for Purdy.
Health Remains the Key
If the quarterback stays healthy and benefits from the upgraded corps, analysts expect him to climb higher in future rankings, turning a solid ninth‑place projection into a potential top‑five contender.
