Nick Mullens Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens had a rough outing in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. He completed 18 of 21 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown and had a total of three turnovers: two interceptions and a lost fumble. He was benched for C.J. Beathard in the fourth quarter of the game. It was disappointing to see Mullens struggle so much after he excelled in Week 3, throwing for 343 yards without committing a turnover, but his tenure under center was going to be short regardless as the team's starter Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) could be back as soon as next week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens appears likely to make his second straight start for the team this week as Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) continues to nurse the ankle sprain he suffered in Week 2. The 49ers face off against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday night this week. While the Eagles as a whole have been abysmal this year, their pass defense still ranks among the top 10 of the league, allowing just 224.3 passing yards per game. Mullens threw for 343 yards and a touchdown against the New York Giants in Week 3 and he'll have star tight end George Kittle(knee) back this week. Still, the 49ers will likely feature a run-heavy attack against the Eagles, and Mullens could wind up disappointing fantasy owners with just 200 yards and a touchdown on the day. He's a low-end QB2 option this week.

San Francisco 49ers quarterback Nick Mullens had a phenomenal game filling in for starter Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) against the New York Giants in Week 3. Mullens completed 25 of 36 passes for 343 yards and a touchdown. He didn't commit any turnovers in the game. The Giants are one of of the most favorable matchups in the league, but it was still surprising to see Mullens manage well over 300 passing yards in the game. The 49ers face the Eagles in Week 4. We'll see if Garoppolo will be able to return for the game or if Mullens will be out there again.
