C.J. Beathard

Beathard is 0.2 point behind Patrick Mahomes as the QB13 in two games since replacing Jimmy Garoppolo. He's now averaging 15.9 fantasy points in eight career starts, matching Russell Wilson's 2018 mark. Playing at Green Bay could lead to high-volume, garbage-time heroics, but the Packers are second in passing defense with help from the schedule and game situations. Although Beathard isn't a trustworthy option, he might be a viable QB2 who shouldn't immediately get slotted at the end of the rankings.

C.J. Beathard completed 34-of-54 pass attempts for 349 yards, two touchdowns, and two interceptions as the 49ers lost to the Cardinals in Week 5.

Fantasy Impact

He also lost two fumbles and was sacked four times. Beathard's passing yards total make it look like a better performance, but that was all garbage time. The 24-year-old is a shy away fantasy asset in Week 6 versus the Packers.
