Mike is a 3-time graduate of Castleton University in Castleton, Vermont with full concentrations in mathematics & statistics. He has dabbled in a little bit of everything (poker tournament winner, nationally ranked in pinball, rolled several 300s in bowling) but when it comes to time spent and money gambled, fantasy football reigns supreme.

Summer is the best time to evaluate dynasty assets and their place in the dynasty market. In this brand-new series, we will bring you a riser, faller, and longshot from each NFL team. We’ll cover dynasty values, potential trades, and overall team outlooks.
Let’s jump into the San Francisco 49ers!
I have to get my homerism out of the way first. I’m a huge 49er fan, and I've watched every game religiously since the 1989 Super Bowl. I’ve seen every quarterback from Joe Montana to Steve Young, Jeff Garcia, Alex Smith, Colin Kaepernick, and Jimmy Garoppolo.
I am here to tell you, definitively, that Brock Purdy is the best quarterback I’ve seen in a 49er uniform since Steve Young was under center. That doesn’t mean I think he’s as good as Young, just that I think he’s already surpassed everyone else since that time. If you’re not a believer, please keep reading before you make up your mind.
