49ers rookie QB Trey Lance completed 6-of-13 passes for 46 yards, along with six carries for eight yards and a rushing touchdown in Sunday afternoon’s preseason win over the Raiders.
Fantasy Impact: Lance actually rotated with Jimmy Garoppolo for 10 of the 49ers’ first 24 snaps of the game. In addition, both quarterbacks were each able to score rushing touchdowns in the 49ers’ first two drives. After the second series, Lance fully took over and played until the end of the first drive in the third frame. Unfortunately, he’s had to watch numerous teammates drop easy catches throughout preseason, including today when Jauan Jennings was unable to haul in a reception that would’ve given the 49ers their third touchdown in the first half. Coach Kyle Shanahan may consider using a platoon system once the regular season kicks off. Regardless, the expectation is that Garoppolo will start in Week 1, with Lance taking over by mid-season.
