49ers Passing Game
Jimmy Garoppolo’s first full season in offensive mastermind Kyle Shanahan’s system was a categorical success, improving Jimmy G’s career win-loss record to 21-5 with a Super Bowl berth. Albeit propped up by Shanahan’s wizardly knack for creating his receivers space and his quarterbacks defined reads, Jimmy G efficiently finished No. 3 in yards per attempt (8.4), No. 7 in TD Rate (5.7%), and No. 8 in passer rating (102.0). San Francisco’s dominance on defense, in the running game, and from a game-script standpoint severely cut Garoppolo’s volume, however, and his fantasy result was QB14. Jimmy G won’t come close to leading the NFL in pass attempts anytime soon, but I love him as an undervalued late-round stab facing the league’s friendliest Weeks 1-6 QB schedule (vs. ARZ, @ NYJ, @ NYG, vs. PHI, vs. MIA, vs. LAR). The 49ers are very likely to throw more this season after trading DeForest Buckner, losing all-world DBs coach Joe Woods to the Browns, and now headed for mean reversion after their defensive blowup year. Along with Buffalo’s Josh Allen, Garoppolo is one of my favorite longshot NFL Most Valuable Player bets.
