Brock Purdy vs Jalen Hurts
Jalen Hurts holds a 11.4% edge in Superflex dynasty value.Updated 9/22/2026
THE CASE FOR PURDY
Purdy gives you elite efficiency and weekly stability in a top-tier Shanahan ecosystem with premium weapons, keeping his floor high even without rushing juice. He's 1.4 years younger and typically cheaper to acquire, making him a strong way to buy into a QB1/2 profile without paying the absolute ceiling. If you believe the 49ers keep the supporting cast intact and Purdy’s extension cements long-term security, he can outproduce his price in the next 2–3 years.
THE CASE FOR HURTS
Hurts’ rushing and goal-line role create a higher weekly ceiling and a safer fantasy floor than most pocket passers, especially in spike-week playoff formats. Philadelphia’s offense and supporting cast keep him insulated, and his multi-touchdown paths don’t require perfect passing efficiency. The 18.8% market premium is largely paying for that rushing-driven difference-maker profile that can swing matchups by itself.
VERDICT BY TEAM SITUATION
Hurts if you’re pushing for a title and need week-winning upside; Purdy is fine if the savings upgrades another starter.
Purdy if you want to minimize cost and spread value across the roster; Hurts only if you’re confident you can build around an expensive cornerstone.
Lean Hurts, but the gap is only justified if the extra cost doesn’t prevent you from improving a second starting spot.
