Jimmy Garoppolo QB San Francisco 49ers
Injuries and opportunity play a significant role throughout the fantasy season. Oftentimes the right pick ups in season can make the difference in a championship season. With that being said, if Trey Lance was your QB1 then you need to stop what you are doing and go pick up Jimmy Garoppolo right now. Finish this article once you have made the move.
The 2021-2022 season looked like Jimmy G’s last season as a 49er as the team looked to their QB of the future, Trey Lance. Speculation all offseason was where Garoppolo would be traded. In the end he stayed with the 49ers on a team friendly deal to be their backup. Now he will be their starting QB for the rest of the season with Lance’s ankle injury.
Garoppolo threw for over 3800 yards and 20 touchdowns last season. There is no reason to expect that he cannot replicate those numbers again this year. If you are in a two QB league or a large league then Garoppolo will be a valuable second quarterback. The Niners are fortunate he stayed in San Francisco and Garoppolo has a prove it year to try and earn a big contract.
Jimmy Garoppolo is this week’s Fantasy Zombie.
