Lean: add Brock Purdy for Kyler Murray

Brock Purdy leads by 6.7 FP this week, 43.6 FP across the remaining schedule and does not meaningfully trail in the Weeks 15–18 forecast total. The projected outlook supports the swap if your roster can spare Kyler Murray. These are player forecast totals, not extra starter points or playoff-odds gains for your team. Kyler Murray is questionable; an injury designation alone is not a reason to drop him.

THE HOLD, NOT JUST THE CLAIM

What comes after this week?

The Drop / Add assessment uses the immediate and future FF outlook together. Totals describe the player, not extra points for your roster. Weeks 15–18 are a calendar view; your league’s playoff weeks may differ. Green highlights the higher displayed projection when both outlooks are known; ties and incomplete comparisons stay neutral.
