If Purdy Misses Time
Next man up: Mac Jones
Mac Jones is next on the 49ers depth chart at quarterback. In superflex leagues he's worth a speculative bench spot for Purdy managers; in 1QB leagues he's a waiver add only if Purdy misses time.
Who else it affects
A quarterback change matters most for Christian McCaffrey and Mike Evans, his two most-targeted pass catchers this season.
