Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) said he feels good and is good to go for training camp in a few weeks. He does not expect to start camp on the Physically Unable to Perform list and plans to be full-go on Day 1. "The rehab process has gone really well. Knock on wood. We havent had any setbacks. OTAs went about as well as I could have hoped for and now for training camp hopefully well be full go with team drills and all that stuff," Garoppolo said. The signal-caller tore his ACL on Sept. 23 and missed the rest of the season. He's been good in limited chances in his career and has a lot of upside in an improving San Francisco offense. Fantasy owners will remain cautious, though, and he's best selected as a fine fantasy backup with intriguing upside.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) remains on track to be ready for training camp and continues to take part in individual and 7-on-7 drills in offseason practices. There are still high expectations on Garoppolo, who has never played in more than six games in any of his five NFL seasons to this point. He started just three games in 2018 before tearing his ACL and being lost for the season. When healthy, though, Garoppolo has shown that he can put up big numbers with a head coach that has built impressive offenses in the past. Garoppolo doesn't have any truly elite wideouts at his disposal in San Fran, though, and he'll mostly be a rising QB2 with upside for fantasy owners.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) took part in individual 7-on-7 drills on Tuesday in organized team activities but didn't take part in team drills. Head coach Kyle Shanahan said that Garoppolo won't be cleared for full team workouts until training camp because the team doesn't want to risk having defenders around the QB's legs. Garoppolo has impressed the coaches and teammates with how well he's moving while wearing a titanium knee brace. The QB tore his ACL on Sept. 23 and missed the final 13 games of last season. He hasn't dealt with swelling in "a long time." Garoppolo has been pleased with his ability to push the ball down the field and is also making strides in the weight room. He'll have QB1 upside if he's fully healthy in 2019, but fantasy owners should probably play it safe and take him as a QB2 with upside.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (knee) has resumed throwing and doing dropbacks as he recovers from a torn ACL early last season, and he's hoping to take part in seven-on-seven drills when organized team activities start next month. The ultimate goal is being fully cleared for training camp in late July. It's almost certain that Garoppolo will wear a brace on his knee this year, and he doesn't think it'll impact his mobility. The 27-year-old looks to have the tools to be a solid QB1, but he's also never played in more than six games in a season in his five years in the NFL, so fantasy owners need to be cognizant not to overspend on his talent.
