The 49ers expect Mac Jones to be on the team in 2026.
While the 49ers were bounced out of the Divisional Round by the Seahawks, they are in good position at quarterback heading into 2026. After losing Brock Purdy for 8 games, Mac Jones kept the team afloat and in playoff contention.
Jones filled in admirably and was a delightful value in superflex leagues where he was a QB15 or better 5 times. While Kyle Shanahan may want Jones to be on the team next season, expect the phone to be ringing. Some teams who may show interest include the Vikings, Dolphins, New York Jets, and more. The 49ers are in a good spot and have leverage for trade compensation. Dynasty superflex managers have an asset that is still likely to mature as the offseason wears on. Stay tuned!

The San Francisco 49ers get dominated by division rival Seattle Seahawks 41-6 in their NFC Divisional Playoff matchup.
San Francisco 49ers offense struggled mightily, managing just 6 points in their 41-6 defeat against Seattle Seahawks and failing to establish consistent momentum when it mattered most. Brock Purdy finished with only 140 passing yards, completing 15 of his 27 pass attempts. He also threw an interception and was sacked twice. Christian McCaffrey and offense struggled as well on the ground not getting much production. McCaffrey rushed for just 35 yards on 11 carries.
As the season comes to an end for the 49ers, they will enter the offseason facing questions about consistency in high pressure games and how to get over the hump to make another Super Bowl appearance.

The San Francisco 49ers overcome injuries to take down the defending Super Bowl Champions in the Philadelphia Eagles.
Despite all the injuries and multiple mistakes, Brock Purdy was able to will the Niners to a wild card playoff win against the defending NFL champion Philadelphia Eagles. Purdy finished the game completing 18/31 passes for 262 passing yards with 2 interception and 2 Touchdowns. Wide reciever Demarcus Robinson was the unlikely playmaker for the Niners with 6 receptions for 111 yards and a touchdown. In a sad scene, superstar tight end George Kittle tore his achilles, putting his status in question for the start of the 2026 season.
The Niners are still a potent offense even when they struggle and are ravaged with injuries. Christian McCaffrey is still a force to be reckoned with especially with his injury history. All of the Niners offensive weapons are targets when healthy, head coach Kyle Shanahan is too good at scheming to not partake.

The San Francisco 49ers outlasted the Chicago Bears 42-38 in a Week 17 shootout that delivered massive fantasy production on both sides. Brock Purdy put together a strong championship week performance, throwing for over 300 yards and three touchdowns. He added two more scores with his legs.

Through the air, Purdy’s leading receiver was Ricky Pearsall, who returned from injury and made an immediate impact, finishing with five receptions for 85 yards.

Kyle Shanahan announced Brock Purdy will start at QB for the 49ers this Sunday; joining him is WR Ricky Pearsall
During the taping of “49ers Game Plan” on the NBC Bay Area affiliate, San Francisco head coach Kyle Shanahan announced informally that starting QB Brock Purdy would be back under center for the 49ers on Sunday. The team travels to Arizona for a divisional showdown with new starter Jacoby Brissett and the Cardinals.
The timing could not be better for San Fran (6-4), which has slipped to third in the NFC West behind the Seahawks and Rams (both 7-2), who will play one another in Los Angeles at the same time on Sunday. The team hopes that, as well as Mac Jones has played in his stead, their starter in Purdy is irreplaceable. Shanahan maintains there was “zero controversy” at the position. The team has brought their starter along slowly (he did not even dress as backup last week), suggesting that Sir Brocks-a-Lot should be all systems go.
Improving matters is that presumptive breakout No. 1 wide receiver Ricky Pearsall will also return to the field after an extended absence. He joins wideout Jauan Jennings and tight end George Kittle, who have each made their way back into the fold already.
Fantasy lowdown: If Purdy has been dropped in fantasy leagues, it won’t take long for him to be rostered in full again. The matchup with Arizona, which is ranked fifth against quarterbacks, isn’t the greatest to walk back into. However, a glance at the 49ers’ schedule suggests that they will be battling for the playoffs when their fantasy schedule wraps up against weak passing defenses, including Tennessee, Indianapolis, and Chicago, in weeks 15, 16, and 17, following a well-timed Week 14 bye.
