ANALYSIS: Some things never change. For example, the NFL always comes back at the end of every summer, the San Francisco 49ers play football, and Jimmy Garoppolo turns into an under-the-radar QB1/QB2 without mistake. That's right, folks. For all of the Trey Lance hype (perhaps merited, we don't really know yet), Garoppolo keeps starting games and performing to phenomenal levels of play. Can't say you weren't warned!

Garoppolo has started all games from Week 2 on and only once has he dropped below the 14.0-FP line (Week 3 at Denver). Other than that, Jimmy G has been his usual (good-not-great) self: two top-24 finishes and two more weeks inside the top-12 players at his position.

Jimmy J is actually coming off his best game of the year to date with an 18.9 FP outing at Atlanta in which he posted season-high marks on all fronts: 29-of-41 completions for 296 total yards, two touchdowns (and two interceptions) and no fumbles.

This game came after a W5 matchup at Carolina in which Garoppolo was also good for 253 yards and 2 TDs on 18 completions throwing no interceptions at all for a total of 17.0 FP. If Jimmy can keep up with the 20+ completions and 30+ pass attempts, that'd be gold right there.

Whether you're part of a slightly deeper league (say, 14 or 16 teams) or just streaming the position/dealing with injuries from your QB1, definitely consider picking Garoppolo off waivers while he's still there. That won't last for long, so pounce when you have the chance. Jimmy is a lock for a top-20 finish with upside to enter the top 15 and a borderline QB1 if San Francisco's skill-position players deliver.
