49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) is not expected to start in Sunday’s Week 17 game vs the Houston Texans, team ‘optimistic’ for a return in Week 18 vs the Carolina Panthers.
Fantasy Impact: With Garoppolo’s torn UCL ligament in his right thumb expected to keep him out for Sunday’s contest, rookie backup Trey Lance would be in line to start not only in real-life NFL football but also as a trendy streaming consideration for fantasy managers looking to add a passing/rushing threat into their lineups. Against the Houston Texans, the former 3rd overall pick from the 2021 NFL Draft can be considered viable.
