Fantasy Impact
It was reported that the 49ers were torn between Lance and Mac Jones, but they'll opt for the bigger and more athletic of the two. Lance will hope to fit in Kyle Shanahan's well as a strong and big-armed quarterback with the ability to run the ball and move the pocket. The North Dakota State product measures in at 6'4" and 226 pounds. He was only able to play in one game in 2020 before his school shut down the football program due to COVID-19 concerns. There's speculation that he will sit early in his career to help with his development, but fantasy managers should be excited about his rushing upside once he gets his opportunity as a starter.
