Anyone else totally boned by Purdy?
I needed 7 points and got 4, so no championship for me.
Edit: Glad I’m not alone. 🥲

I needed 5 from Aiyuk and was sweating bullets when he was blocking the entire game. Darnold comes in, and I am now in the championship. Took out the #1 seed 😤
wellthatsdope
Drove me crazy how they only used him for blocking for the first 3 quarters lol.

Darnold-Aiyuk stack saves the day!

I gave up on the third quarter and turned it off. Down 7 with a quarter to go I figured it was done. My phone started buzzing and lo and behold—onto the finals. Thank you, Sam Darnold 🙏🏼

Bro I was so zoned in on him and his usage was fucking egregious. People acting like he is a sell high are insane. As long as he doesn't end up with an absolute shit QB, his situation has to improve. He is one of the better WRs in the league. I love his hustle and commitment to blocking though. Roster a real ass nikka like that any day.
SnideSnail
Yep bog passes right before Purdy went down. I think one for 22 and one for 33
Too_Much_Soccer
I need Aiyuk to outscore purdy by 8. Was the most insane fantasy football moment of all time
hewhopoops
Two brothers in my league played eachother. One had Purdy and the other Deebo. With a 2% chance of winning the Deebo owner ended up coming back and winning by .02 points.

Get your popcorn ready for stat corrections.

4 points is generous for that performance. Young dude had a rough Christmas
theman1519
Yeah in my league he got 2.9, I needed 5 to go the finals
Heinousdude
Semi-Finals: I started CMC, Aiyuk, and Kittle while my opponent started Purdy and Deebo. Projections had us 50/50 at game start. Gave me my repeat championship berth so I’m not too displeased with Purdy’s performance
Joy_In_Mudville
I was in the exact same scenario as your victim, but with a 51 point lead. Still wasn't enough. Ah well.
x_is_for_box
Yes, my opponent.
Purdy put up -2 in my league, I won by 1.3 lol let’s gooo!
Opponent also had Tucker and I had Deebo so it’s not like he could’ve benched Purdy and won. He was down by a bit heading in.

Wish darnold went in sooner since he actually throws to aiyuk
Hughys55
Wait you mean the wr 16 in half point? That’s pretty god damn good for being a number 2 receiver on a team
Mexican_Furious
Aiyuk looks more like the #1 tbh
TumbleweedDirect9846
There were multiple times last night where aiyuk was wide open for a first down and Purdy just threw it to deebo behind the first down line and it just failed
RiveredSet
went 12-2 this season, just sat in a middle seat on a 3 hour flight and watched purdy lose me the semifinals throwing pick after pick
[deleted]
Well he made my 30 + Purdy vs McCaffrey way more interesting than it should have been.
Sweggyp69
Last week Terry mclaurin scoring 20 pts in garbage time and purdy’s game fucked me. Lost by 5 pts then this week I scored most points in league. Could be going to the championship but instead finishing in 5th
BestKeptSecret611
I had it happen in two leagues. Both I lost by just 5-10 points, with Henry, Barkley and others each putting up nothingburgers. In another one, I had 5 guys combine for 14 points. Any one of them reach their projections, shit, any two reach half of their projections, and I'm on my way to the championship round. Instead, I'm losing in the 5th place game 285-230. I had myself a weekend, putting up that many points. He had Pickens and Nacua combining for 179.

Is fantasy football so random that even quarterbacks can have bad games?
GinNJuicyFruit
100% yes. This is why when people victory lap just to have it blow up at the most important time of year, we all get a good laugh.
Herbiejameshancock
OP going through downvoting everyone who won’t hold his hand and wipe his tears. This is sport, sport is random. Should have acquired and then started Amari Cooper
MidnightWizard11
Homie got me to semis (and probably Got a lot of teams there directly or indirectly) and just poops the bed in what I was hoping would be a back and forth affair
BestKeptSecret611
I got the shit down-voted out of me because I suggested playing an alternative to Purdy because he was about to lose the MVP race on Monday Night Football against Lamar Jackson and the Baltimore Ravens. I have Stafford on my team with Purdy. I made my choice with the utmost confidence that all those down-voters didn't make.
calartnick
Guy in my league has Purdy and OBJ going against Gus Edwards. Brutal loss for them.
hiphopanonymousse
I was up 13 with Purdy and Aiyuk vs CMC. I can’t believe I survived that
cyclon3warning
I had Purdy and Howell. Lost by 8 pts
Mexican_Furious
God I love rebuilding so much sometimes. Being unable to lose by 2 because Purdy had a terrible game when Amari drops 50 on you earlier is pretty nice.

Lance woulda won that game
BestKeptSecret611
Put down the glass pipe, man. It's gotta be burning your hand by now.

Some Christmas crack never hurt anyone
Jalenoh
The Ravens defense is legit just that good. Nobody else has made the niners look mortal. Hope Kyle Hamilton is okay.
JoeyRedmayne
Browns.
HUT_HUT_HIKE
Browns and Bengals shut them down as well. 49ers and other top NFC teams have feasted against the NFC and then get smacked in the mouth when they play the AFC.
armchairgm97
14-0 team in my season ran the table, got a buy and got blown out in the semis today by 40+. He had every elite skill player on the Niners besides Deebo.

AbroadForeign7012
Had Purdy against Lamar CMC and Ayiuk up about 50, needed 8 from Purdy to win and make finals
Jtang6031
Lost a redraft league but hung on in dynasty…
Least_Exercise783
no that would be Breece Hall who did the honors
Melodic-Competition2
Go cyclones either way!
cristo1838
I just needed Purdy to outscore Flowers to make the final. Wasn’t even close..
Tdog504
I was up 30 against Purdy and Mccaffery!
merxcury
I needed 7 too. I absolutely hate him now. :)
ossirhc
Dak did that to me last week..
L0ARD
Had purdy + Aiyuk and needed only a couple of points.. didn't end well
Sw3d3n90
Knocked out the first seed in our league where we penalize INTs heavily. Purdy delivered a -5.6.

SnooPickles5984
I had Purdy and went against Amari Cooper. Was sweating bullets with SF near the goal line at the end of that game as my opponent also had CMC. Somehow hung onto a 228 to 217 victory.
BoneSawIsReady_
I needed 39 pts to win. Tall task I know, but cmc got 25 and -8 from Purdy hurt big time.
Geee_Arrr
Yup. Had Purdy and Aiyuk and only needed 20 to win
murpower_38
I had Purdy and a 16 point lead. Opponent had CMC. What a horrible game
PlsSaySikeM8
Damn near my whole team underperformed outside of CMC. Top scoring team all year just to go out in semis.
almikez
Lost by 2 with purdy going against aiyuk and cmc up about 30 or whatever the math was
JnDConstruction1984
Fuck purdy I didn’t play him but him getting benched let darnold force feed aiyuk who did nothing all game. Lost by 5.
[deleted]
Even though I had a terrible fantasy week for all my dynasty leagues, I may actually win my work redraft league (2 week championship) because my opponent started Purdy. Bragging rights alone at work will make this a successful fantasy year for me. Thanks Purdy!
batmang8
Why would you start purdy against Balt? Poor decision
aketchum339
I'd be in the finals if I had benched him for Joe Flacco...
[deleted]
Feeling Purdy boned
Cbone06
I needed about 25 from CMC and he got me 25.10 to clinch it.
aruss15
Needed .12 more out of Deebo and CMC. Purdy’s awfulness ruined me ugh
SuckaFreeRIP
Naw I won in spite of him. Dropped 175
bwoold1
No, because CmC, CD, Devonte, Kyren, Breece, and Justin muthafuckin Tucker picked up the extra slack for him. Looking forward to activating Fields from the bench for the championship.
TeamEffort
[deleted]
You played him against the Ravens.
doug2487
Shoot, I already was down from playing against Amari Cooper. This was just icing on the cake at that point
chrisnavillus
He almost made it possible for Lamar to take me down in 2 semifinals but somehow held on to win both and keep the championship dream alive in 2 leagues.
Onslaught7676
Now how many people would have been in this position w/o Purdy?!
jimcroce21
12 team superflex. Started tlaw and purdy. Because fuq flacco. Still can't forgive his lone postseason heroics and what he did to my niners. Lucked out a win on the strength of Mike Evans, sun god, kittle (1.5 te ppr).
rossco7777
yup same exact scenario, needed 6 got 4 lol. lost by 1.5
[deleted]
He’ll bounce back for week 16
Live_Substance_8519
yup. needed purdy/aiyuk/deebo to combine for 60. they did not.
Technopool
If cooper had just scored less than 40 I would have made it.
Indy-Gator
I almost lost because of Purdy…squeezed out a 3 point victory
Spagx
Needed 2 points from Davante Adams.. apparently that was too much to ask for.
[deleted]
Had the #1 seed on the ropes with two goose eggs from his D linemen and the 1 point from Adams.
I guess it’s not my year 😒
wnstanfield
Needed Purdy and 49ers D to outscore CMC by 10. Was a long shot but def possible! Neither really showed up 😅
AlGuMa27
Needed 10 and got 4. Also he screwed me doubly because in my other league I had deebo and was up 7 while the other guy had Kittle. Lost that by 1 point
Yep, the guy I was playing. I needed a miracle and Purdy delivered it - on to the finals! 💪
