Jimmy Garoppolo The Starter When Healthy
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) is the team's starter over Nick Mullens when he's healthy. Garoppolo missed last week and Mullens threw for over 300 yards and a touchdown against the winless Giants, but the Niners are making it clear that Jimmy G is the starter when he's ready to return. He missed Wednesday's practice, though, making it likely that Mullens will get another start in Week 4 against the Eagles and their shaky secondary. Garoppolo can be a decent QB2 streamer in the right matchups, but it'll help if he gets some of his offensive weapons back from injury. Mullens will be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues if he gets another start this Sunday.
