Brock Purdy vs Daniel Jones: Who Should You Start?
Deciding between Brock Purdy and Daniel Jones is a common lineup dilemma for fantasy managers. The San Francisco 49ers quarterback put up 20.8 PPG in 2025 over 9 games; Daniel Jones of the Indianapolis Colts averaged 18.0 in 13. A 2.8-point margin that could shift on any given week.
The per-game difference of 2.8 points favors Brock Purdy, though savvy managers know that gap can shrink or widen depending on the weekly slate. Defensive matchup, recent scoring trends, and health status all shift the calculus from one quarterback to the other.
Both lean on arm talent and offensive scheme as traditional pocket passers. Brock Purdy threw for 2167 yards and 20 touchdowns, while Daniel Jones posted 3101 yards and 19 scores. Volume, red zone efficiency, and game script are the key week-to-week differentiators when neither carries rushing upside.
One scheduling note: Brock Purdy is off Week 9 and Daniel Jones Week 14. If these two are on your roster, you will need a fill-in quarterback for both weeks. DraftCall flags bye conflicts so you can plan ahead rather than panic on waivers.
