According to The Athletic’s Matt Barrows, San Francisco 49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo “resumed throwing two to three weeks ago” after having shoulder surgery earlier this offseason.
Fantasy Impact: Three weeks ago ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Garoppolo’s trade market is expected to heat up once he begins throwing and passes a physical, so this news appears to check one of the final boxes before Garoppolo finds a new home. With Baker Mayfield being traded to the Carolina Panthers earlier this month, there are few teams that are likely to be interested in acquiring Garoppolo. The Seahawks and Texans have been rumored to be potential suitors, but with both teams in rebuilding phases (despite what Pete Carroll says), acquiring an expensive veteran QB one year away from the highly touted 2023 QB class isn’t necessarily an ideal team building strategy for either team. The Browns, who have a playoff-caliber roster and a QB who is likely facing suspension, are another team that has been linked to Garoppolo. When healthy, Garoppolo has functioned as a QB2 in fantasy football, but his 2022 value will be dependent on where he ends up playing.
