Jimmy Garoppolo Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 22 of 30 pass attempts for 189 yards and a touchdown while carrying 11 times for 20 yards and a rushing touchdown during Sunday's 17-11 Week 2 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Garoppolo played a clean, turnover-free game and didn't get sacked once against a talented Eagles defensive front. He took all of the meaningful snaps and delivered a poised performance in a hostile environment. Garoppolo has a low ceiling but a safe floor as a mid-range QB2 in SuperFlex leagues, with Trey Lance appearing as a non-factor for the immediate future.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 17 of 25 pass attempts for 314 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's 41-33 win over the Detroit Lions. The 49ers' offensive line provided a clean pocket for the majority of the game, which allowed Garoppolo to connect with Deebo Samuel on a monstrous 79-yard touchdown pass in the third quarter. Trey Lance threw a five-yard touchdown pass early on but Garoppolo earned the vast majority of snaps under center. He could be a decent QB2 in Super Flex leagues against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 2.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo will kick off his fifth season with the team, as Trey Lance looms in the background. The 29-year-old has a great matchup on Sunday, as he faces the third-worst pass defense from a season ago. Although the matchup seems great on paper, the former New England Patriot is not a reliable option for fantasy managers. In what should be a run-heavy game script for the 49ers, Garoppolo could potentially have his passing volume be extremely limited. The offense could look to exploit the run defense of their opposition with a heavy dose of Raheem Mostert and Trey Sermon. Garoppolo should only be started in deep or two-QB formats this week.
