Trey Lance Fantasy Football Outlook (2022)

The Trey Lance era has finally begin after reports surfaced that the 49ers have decided to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo... even if he remains on the roster.

Garoppolo's shoulder surgery is the only reason he hasn't been traded. Once he is deemed healthy, I'd presume he gets moved to a QB-needy team or to a roster that sustains an injury at the position.

Lance only started two games but showed off the rushing that excited fantasy managers during draft season. The 49ers' first-year signal-caller averaged 22.4 expected fantasy points and 60 rushing yards per game.

Got league-winning upside as a late-round quarterback.
