Brock Purdy, the San Francisco 49ers quarterback, has averaged nearly 17 fantasy points per game this season, making him the QB12 in fantasy football. Despite facing numerous obstacles, Purdy has shown resilience, posting 20 or more fantasy points in four of his past seven games. His rushing ability adds to his fantasy appeal, averaging 3.9 fantasy points per game from rushing alone, placing him in the second tier of mobile quarterbacks. This skill set could be particularly advantageous against the Detroit Lions, who have allowed the third-most rushing yards per game to opposing QBs. The Lions’ defense has also been struggling, allowing seven passing touchdowns in their last four games, setting up a favorable scenario for Purdy in a high-scoring game.**Alexander Mattison: Raiders’ RB2 with Opportunity**Alexander Mattison, now with the Las Vegas Raiders, has stepped into a lead role due to injuries to Zamir White and Sincere McCormick. In games where he has been the primary back, Mattison has averaged 19.5 opportunities and 13.6 fantasy points per contest. His next challenge is against the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed 17 rushing touchdowns to running backs this season, including three in their most recent game.**Terry McLaurin: Commanders’ WR5 with Consistent Performance**Washington Commanders’ wide receiver Terry McLaurin has been a consistent performer, ranking as the WR5 overall in fantasy football. He has achieved 15 or more fantasy points in nine of his last ten games, with a total of 11 such games in 2024, second only to Justin Jefferson. Facing the Atlanta Falcons, who have allowed the highest completion percentage in the NFL, McLaurin is poised for another strong outing.**Alec Pierce: Colts’ Deep Threat**Indianapolis Colts’ wide receiver Alec Pierce, if he clears concussion protocol, could capitalize on his deep-threat capabilities against the New York Giants. Pierce leads the league in deep targets with 29 and averages 22.2 yards per reception. The Giants’ defense has been particularly vulnerable to deep passes, allowing a 62% completion rate on such plays.**Chig Okonkwo: Titans’ TE with Rising Stock**Tennessee Titans’ tight end Chig Okonkwo has seen an increase in targets and snap share with Mason Rudolph at quarterback. He has a 19% target share and a 70% snap share in recent games, compared to lower figures earlier in the season. Facing the Jacksonville Jaguars, who have been lenient against tight ends, Okonkwo has a chance to continue his upward trend in fantasy production.
