San Francisco’s first loss of the year came with four turnovers, a stagnant ground game, and a lack of big plays, as Jacksonville escaped 26-21. Purdy posted 309 yards with two touchdowns but also two picks, and the run game stalled (3.3 yards per carry, no rushing TD), leaving the offense one-dimensional and vulnerable on a short week. The defense couldn’t bend without Nick Bosa, while Etienne and Lawrence controlled the tempo with efficient, if not flashy, production.

Silver linings exist, though: Purdy still has arm talent, McCaffrey remains a top receiving option, and young backs like James or Arendo could spark the offense. On the other sideline, Lloyd’s ball-hawking efforts and the Jaguars’ balanced approach signal potential for fantasy relevance. Managers should watch for tweaks in backfield usage and a rekindled passing rhythm moving forward.
