Brock Purdy’s touchdown efficiency and George Kittle’s finishing power carried San Francisco, while Jacoby Brissett kept Arizona aggressive through a high-volume comeback script.
This game · verified box score
Explore the game dataBrock Purdy turned a restrained passing workload into a decisive fantasy line, pairing four passing touchdowns with clean decision-making and useful rushing production.
Jacoby Brissett’s volume fed Michael Wilson and Trey McBride, with Wilson emerging as the game’s most heavily targeted receiver and Brissett adding a rushing score.
George Kittle dominated San Francisco’s scoring work, turning his target share into two touchdowns and an elite per-route fantasy return.
San Francisco did not need a high-count aerial script from Purdy. He completed 15 passes on 27 attempts for 297 passing yards and four passing touchdowns, without an interception. That combination produced 31.28 PPR fantasy points, far beyond his 16.07 expected PPR. The fantasy lesson is not merely the final line: Purdy’s touchdown conversion supplied the ceiling, while his 34 rushing yards offered a valuable secondary layer. His earlier two-game sample had averaged 24.79 PPR fantasy points, so this was another strong outcome, albeit in a two-game rather than a full three-game historical sample.

San Francisco did not need a high-count aerial script from Purdy. He completed 15 passes on 27 attempts for 297 passing yards and four passing touchdowns, without an interception.

Kittle was the central receiver in the red-zone story, collecting six receptions for 82 receiving yards and two receiving touchdowns on seven targets. He ran 25 routes and produced 3.28 yards per route, a commanding return on a compact passing tree. Christian McCaffrey supplied the steadier all-purpose foundation: 15 carries for 75 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown, plus four receptions for 41 receiving yards. McCaffrey played 83% of offensive snaps, while Kittle played 85% of offensive snaps, leaving both as clear centerpieces even in an offense that made its passing production count efficiently.
The complementary work behind Kittle was volatile but meaningful. Deebo Samuel Sr. posted 80 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown, while adding two carries for 14 rushing yards. Jordan Watkins made the most of a small role with two receptions for 60 receiving yards on eight routes. Mike Evans had three receptions for 34 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown on six targets, but only played 33% of offensive snaps. Those outputs show that San Francisco’s touchdown ecosystem extended beyond the primary stars, though the underlying workloads remained uneven.
Verified route counts. Route volume alone does not establish a future role.
Brissett answered San Francisco’s efficiency with volume and poise. He completed 38 passes on 52 attempts for 280 passing yards and two passing touchdowns, without throwing an interception. Brissett also had four carries and a rushing touchdown, reaching 25.6 PPR fantasy points. He played 100% of offensive snaps and his 82% catchable throw rate supports the broader picture of a functional, sustained passing game. His prior two-game sample had averaged 11.49 PPR fantasy points, making this a major step up in outcome rather than a full three-game trend.
Expected points describe the value of the opportunities received. Both figures use full-PPR scoring.
Michael Wilson was Arizona’s defining volume winner. His 17 targets became 11 receptions, 89 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown; he ran 53 routes and played 93% of offensive snaps. That workload dwarfed his prior two-game average of seven targets and establishes a much stronger single-game role signal than the box score alone. McBride remained heavily involved as the middle-of-field stabilizer, with nine receptions for 75 receiving yards on 11 targets across 49 routes. Marvin Harrison Jr. was quieter in target volume, but his five targets carried 85 receiving air yards, preserving an explosive-play element despite three receptions for 40 receiving yards.
Jeremiyah Love controlled Arizona’s rushing work with 21 carries for 90 rushing yards, adding five receptions for 19 receiving yards and a receiving touchdown. He played 64% of offensive snaps, while Tyler Allgeier handled two carries and played 36% of offensive snaps, confirming a clear workload edge for Love in this game. Chad Ryland made three field goals on three attempts, with a 49-yard longest field goal, and made all three extra-point attempts. Eddy Pineiro made one field goal on one attempt, with a 57-yard longest field goal, but made three extra points on five attempts. SF D/ST recorded two sacks and allowed 30 points; ARI D/ST recovered one opponent fumble and allowed 36 points.
