Jimmy Garoppolo To Start Against Dolphins
4 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said that quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (ankle) will start in Week 5 against the Dolphins. Garoppolo will return to the fold after missing two games with a high ankle sprain. With running back Raheem Mostert also likely to be back, the signal-caller should have all of his weapons around him in a nice matchup with Miami. The Dolphins Defense has allowed the fourth-most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks through four weeks of the season, so Garoppolo should return to easy sledding, even if Miami cornerback Byron Jones is back in the fold in their secondary. The Niners probably won't need to air it out to win this one, but Garoppolo will return as a strong midrange QB2 option.
