49ers rookie QB Trey Lance completed 8-of-14 passes for 102 yards, two touchdowns, and one interception in Sunday evening’s preseason victory over the Chargers. He additionally had one carry for eight yards.
Fantasy Impact: Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo each threw an interception that wasn’t their fault. Garoppolo’s final pass attempt bounced off Brandon Aiyuk’s fingertips, into the hands of rookie CB Asante Samuel Jr. In the second quarter, Lance threw a pass to Mohamed Sanu which resulted in a tipped ball, and ultimately into the hands of CB Tevaughn Campbell. Aside from Lance’s unlucky pick, he was able to come alive in the final minute before halftime, engineering a six-play scoring drive. He found Trent Sherfield for a 41-yard catch and run, and later connected with Sanu for a five-yard score. He additionally slung a 16-yard touchdown pass to Travis Benjamin in the third frame. Lance continues to showcase why the 49ers traded up for the No. 3 pick in the draft, and fantasy managers will undoubtedly look forward to the week when coach Kyle Shanahan officially declares him the starter.
