Brock Purdy Shines in Return, Leads 49ers to Dominant Victory

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Brock Purdy made an effective return from turf toe, his first action since Week 4, throwing for 200 yards and three touchdowns in Sunday's lopsided win over the Cardinals. He completed 19 of 26 passes, including 10 of 15 for 123 yards and two scores in the first half, connecting with George Kittle for two touchdowns and Christian McCaffrey for another. Praised by teammates for his poise and infectious joy, Purdy's return saw the 49ers score 41 points, their most since Week 14 of 2023, and he avoided turnovers after having two interceptions in each of his first two outings. He is considered a top-12 fantasy option for Week 12 against Carolina and beyond.
