Brock Purdy: 2026 Fantasy Outlook
Brock Purdy finished QB24 in 2025 while playing 9 games. At QB12 and pick 103.5, availability belongs in the decision; the old games-played total is not an injury forecast. Our published board ranks him #101, near consensus: draft at price, around pick 103.
Why this draft target?
- Our season projection is 19.1 PPR points per game. The model labels his risk low and upside high.
- His latest recorded season (2025) finished at QB24. The table below shows the full 3-season sample rather than treating one finish as a forecast.
The verdict compares consensus ADP with the published board, not the raw model. A difference within two picks or 5% of ADP, whichever is larger, is fair price. Target pick also accounts for acquisition timing; it is not a guarantee of availability.
Where the market has him
Our published board has him at 101, 2.5 places higher than consensus ADP. Across 16 ranking sources the spread is 15.5 places — a long way apart.
The acquisition target is pick 103, round 11 in a 10-team league. Board rank orders player value; the target pick also accounts for market price. It is a guide, not a guarantee that the player will still be available. The replacement-level quarterback we measure him against is Jalen Hurts, which is the honest comparison: the question is never whether he is good, it is how much better he is than the player you could have instead.

The track record
Across 3 drafted seasons in our sample, Brock Purdy finished at or above his positional draft price 1 time. He returned a severe bust in 1 of them. He played 13 games or fewer in 1 of those seasons — the availability line that separates hits from disasters more sharply than price does.
| Season | Drafted as | Finished | PPG | Games | Outcome |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | QB10 | QB24 | 20.8 | 9 | Severe bust |
| 2024 | QB11 | QB14 | 18.6 | 15 | — |
| 2023 | QB20 | QB6 | 19.2 | 16 | — |
Positional draft rank against final positional finish on PPR total points. A severe bust is a finish outside the top 18 quarterbacks.
Risk and upside
Our model tiers him low for risk and high for upside. Across the 2026 board those two scores are essentially uncorrelated, so a low-risk label is not a low-ceiling label.
Why the model says low risk: Low risk profile: weekly/market volatility (68.6) with injury-supported risk (54.2) as the secondary driver.
