Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers incumbent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo said he wants to help rookie quarterback Trey Lance with his transition to the NFL after the team took him at No. 3 overall in the first round of last week's draft. Garoppolo entered the league with the New England Patriots and learned behind future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. "I try to use my own personal experiences and just what I went through, what helped me, what challenged me as a young player," Garoppolo said. "I'm going to use those tools that helped me and try to help Trey out." Jimmy G is 24-9 in his time with the 49ers, but he's been injured in two of his three seasons. Garoppolo is expected to enter the 2021 season as the starter under center, but another injury or poor performance could thrust Lance into the spotlight at some point in his rookie season. There is no definitive plan or timetable for Lance to take the starting job next season.

Multiple teams are expected to contact the San Francisco 49ers on Thursday to ask about the availability of quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, according to sources. However, the chances of him being traded are "remote," according to one source. The 49ers don't currently have plans to trade Garoppolo unless the value of a proposed deal overwhelms them. San Francisco is fully expected to take their QB of the future with the third overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft on Thursday, which will leave the future of Jimmy G in a Niners uniform in question if he isn't traded. The consensus is that the team will take Alabama signal-caller Mac Jones at No. 3 overall, and he could be ready to start immediately. There's a chance that Garoppolo is used as a bridge QB, but either way, it's pretty clear that Garoppolo isn't the future in San Francisco after several injury plagued seasons.

San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo remains in the team's plans as the starter under center. Lynch said that there wasn't any doubt that Garoppolo would be the team's starter in 2021 if he's healthy. There have been questions as to whether the Niners would go in a different direction at the position since Garoppolo has only had one fully healthy season after the team traded for him. In that one healthy season, he led the 49ers to the Super Bowl in 2019. The team is 22-8 with him and 6-17 without him. The 29-year-old signal-caller was more of a product of a creative offense under head coach Kyle Shanahan than anything in 2019, though, and he'll be an unattractive QB2 coming off another injury-marred season in 2021 fantasy drafts.
