McFarland Urges Bucky Irving Start for Week 2 as Brock Purdy Carries 30.1-Point Team Total

Summary
Week 2 lineup advice from Dwain McFarland puts Bucky Irving in the must-start tier while elevating Brock Purdy as a strong quarterback play beyond his usual draft-day standing.
Purdy scored 22.1 fantasy points in Week 1 and now draws support from a model that gives San Francisco the NFL's highest implied total at 30.1 points.
McFarland ranks Purdy as his QB6, ahead of Joe Burrow and Justin Herbert, citing a No. 3 median projection, top-four ceiling and added rushing value after 29 yards last week.
The column focuses on fringe starters rather than obvious every-week plays, using projections, usage trends, injuries, depth-chart changes and matchup context to flag Week 2 upgrades and downgrades.
