Fantasy returns
Purdy led the game’s listed PPR performances with 25.3 points, followed by McCaffrey at 22.7 and Bowers at 22.3. Bowers’ receiving volume and touchdown delivered a strong return despite the lopsided loss. Watkins produced 18.6 PPR points from four targets, while San Francisco’s defense scored 19.0. Jeanty’s receiving workload did little to offset his limited rushing output; he finished with 7.0 PPR points.
