Yes, but
Despite the high Market Confidence, Purdy's market pricing hasn't shifted recently. This could suggest the disagreement is a standing one, not necessarily active repricing before the game.
What we're watching
Monitor Purdy's performance against the Seahawks; a strong outing could force a re-evaluation from consensus experts.
The bottom line
MarketBall's adjusted ranking for Brock Purdy positions him as a top-tier fantasy QB, a valuation far exceeding expert consensus ahead of today's game.
