QB Battle: Brock Purdy vs Sam Darnold

The passing read centers on Sam Darnold and Brock Purdy. If the game stays tight, attempts usually hold; if it tilts, the trailing side’s dropbacks typically climb.

Efficiency favors Sam Darnold — the YPA gap is meaningful here (7.63 vs 8.49). That often points to cleaner throws or more explosive completions.

Team	QB	Pos	Comp/Att	Comp%	Yards	YPA	Pass TD
SEA	Sam Darnold	QB	323/477	68.0%	4048	8.49	25
SF	Brock Purdy	QB	197/284	69.0%	2167	7.63	20

Rushing Matchup: Christian McCaffrey vs Zach Charbonnet

If the rushing attempts are similar, touchdowns and efficiency tend to be the separator. If attempts aren’t similar, the carry gap is often your best hint at who controls tempo.

From a usage standpoint, Christian McCaffrey is in the better spot — the attempt edge is the clearest story in this rushing line.

Team	RB	Pos	Att	Yards	YPC	Rush TD
SEA	Zach Charbonnet	RB	184	730	3.97	12
SF	Christian McCaffrey	RB	311	1202	3.86	10

Christian McCaffrey and Jaxon Smith-Njigba: Receiving Snapshot

If targets are close, yards per target and touchdowns usually become the separator. If targets are not close, the higher-volume option often has the steadier receiving floor.

If you’re choosing who’s more likely to stay featured, it’s Jaxon Smith-Njigba — targets separate this matchup more than efficiency does.
