Jimmy Garoppolo

Jimmy Garoppolo was averaging 16.7 fantasy points per game through the first 12 weeks of the 2022 season before breaking his foot in a Week 13 game against the Dolphins. The injury ended Garoppolo's season and ended his time with the 49ers, since he's hitting free agency this spring and won't be re-signed. Jimmy G would be miscast in a high-volume passing offense, and he adds minimal rushing value, so at best he'll be a midrange QB2 in fantasy. Garoppolo is an underrated passer who's completed better than 67% of his passes in each of the last four seasons and has a career YPA of 8.3 yards. But wherever he lands, he probably won't have as strong a supporting cast as he had in San Francisco.

The Raiders and Jimmy Garoppolo are closing in on a deal to reunite the free-agent QB with Josh McDaniels. The deal is reportedly for three years, $67.5 million with $34 million guaranteed.

Fantasy Impact

Garoppolo leaves San Francisco after six seasons and a Super Bowl appearance. The 31-year-old QB broke his foot in Week 13 last season after passing for 2,437 yards, 16 TD, and four interceptions. Garoppolo is an accurate passer, but Las Vegas does not offer him the same level of surrounding talent as San Francisco did, save for Davante Adams. He will head into the fantasy season as a midrange QB2.
