49ers Won't Play Trey Lance "Just To Get Him Snaps"
3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said the team "isn't going to play QB Trey Lance just to get him snaps." The first-round quarterback did not enter Week 2's 17-11 win over the Philadelphia Eagles. Lance appeared in Week 1, he completed his only pass attempt for a five-yard touchdown and rushed three times for two yards in Sunday's 41-33 win over the Lions. Shanahan reportedly insists Lance doesn't enter games with a set number of plays that feature Jimmy Garoppolo's backup. "No, I never have a plan that," said Shanahan. "Hey, I'm going to use him, or I'm not going to use him. It's always an option throughout the game. It's been two games, and I've never had him in the openers, and I've never had him as a designated time. I plan on doing that week-to-week and whenever I feel like putting him in. You saw when I did in Week 1, and I never got that urge in Week 2." The 49ers are 2-0, and there is no rush for San Francisco to bench Garoppolo at the moment, making Lance a high-upside bench stash in fantasy leagues.
