Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

Former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo is set to sign with the Las Vegas Raiders on a three-year, $67.5 million deal. Las Vegas released Derek Carr this offseason and were rumored to be interested in reuniting former Patriots offensive coordinator and current Raiders' head coach Josh McDaniels with Garoppolo for 2023. Jimmy G worked with McDaniels as Tom Brady's backup from 2014-2017 before he was traded to the 49ers. Garoppolo posted 16 touchdowns and four interceptions in 10 games before suffering a season-ending foot injury in Week 13. With Trey Lance and Brock Purdy on the roster, he had no place in the Niners' QB depth chart. Garoppolo will have plenty of weapons to work with in Davante Adams, Hunter Renfrow, Darren Waller, and Josh Jacobs. He should be viewed as a mid-tier QB2 for fantasy.

The Las Vegas Raiders are expected to be in on San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo as the QB market settles, according to a source. There is some mutual interest on both sides thanks to the familiarity with some old friends, most importantly head coach Josh McDaniels. Jarrett Stidham just signed a two-year deal with the Denver Broncos, so Chase Garbers is the only signal-caller currently on Las Vegas' current roster. If Aaron Rodgers is traded to the New York Jets, Jimmy G could become a favorite to land in the desert with the Raiders. The 31-year-old has never been considered a high-upside QB1, but he could have some sneaky good performances in Vegas as the starter under center if he signs with them in free agency.

There's a push within the Houston Texans building to sign San Francisco 49ers impending free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo this offseason and play him in 2023 while drafting a QB at some point in the first round with the plan to sit him for a year, according to sources. The Texans have picks at No. 2 overall and 12 in the first round with more than $40 million in salary cap space right now. Houston hired Bobby Slowik from the 49ers to be their new offensive coordinator, so it makes sense. However, Garoppolo will be able to choose his next team on the free-agent market, and he could generate plenty of interest from a handful of teams. If the Texans do sign Jimmy G, it would likely be on a heavily incentivized deal due to his lengthy injury history.
