The Audible: 49ers Preseason Watch List — Is Purdy Weekly‑Start Good, CMC Draft Spot & Injury Concerns

🔥 Description

Our PRESEASON WATCH LIST rolls into San Francisco, where the 49ers enter 2026 with a top‑tier roster, a fantasy‑friendly offense, and the same annual question: can they stay healthy long enough to make another deep run.

The QB spotlight: Is Brock Purdy a weekly fantasy starter. Bloom and Cecil dig into his efficiency, his command of Shanahan’s system, and whether Purdy’s floor and ceiling finally put him into that locked‑in QB1 territory.

Then the fantasy kingpin: Where is the best spot to draft Christian McCaffrey. Bloom breaks down workload expectations, touchdown stability, and how CMC still fits into the elite tier — even as the 49ers try to manage his touches.

And the annual headache: How many concerns should we have about 49ers injuries. Bloom and Cecil explore the early camp dings, the long‑term durability questions, and whether this is just typical Niners noise… or something fantasy GMs need to factor into draft strategy.

San Francisco has star power, fantasy gold, and the same razor‑thin margin for error — and this episode hits every angle.
