Brock Purdy toe injury makes Week 2 a long shot, nudging SF toward a plan that could hinge on run-game reliability and a possible No.3 QB. Moody’s kicking struggles surface again as the 49ers reassess scoring chances, while Ji’Ayir Brown’s growing role provides defensive upside. The piece also references front-office turnover that coincides with Moody’s exit, and Shanahan’s Week 2 preview against the Saints.

Fantasy impact centers on Purdy’s status and SF’s ability to manufacture points without him. If Purdy sits, the offense tilts to safer passes and a heavier ground game, pushing the catch-cowardice of Debo/Kittle toward efficiency rather than explosiveness. Brown’s emergence could boost SF’s defensive value as the team navigates its Week 2 challenge against New Orleans.
