Isaac Guerendo is correctly valued at his ADP of 254 as the consensus #291 overall player.

As our consensus #11 QB, Brock Purdy is a reasonable choice for a late-round quarterback strategy. Purdy is projected to earn 29.4 of his 291 fantasy points by rushing.

As the consensus #170 overall player, Elijah Mitchell is a reasonable pick at his ADP of 199. At a projected workload of 6.1 carries and 0.7 receptions per game, Mitchell has limited potential.

He's second on San Francisco's depth chart, behind Elijah Mitchell. San Francisco has the 16th-best running back schedule.

Ranked as the #11 QB, Trey Lance is a reasonable starter, but not one worth spending an early draft pick on. Lance is projected to earn 95.6 of his 315 fantasy points by rushing. That level of involvement in the 49ers' running game adds significant fantasy value. Projected for a 1.9 touchdown-to-interception ratio, he doesn't carry much interception risk.
