The San Francisco 49ers are a fascinating team from a fantasy football perspective. They were the second-highest scoring team in the NFL a season ago, but only tight end George Kittle really stood out as a fantasy factor. That could change in 2020 as they return most of their starting offense and begin leaning more heavily on some of their top offensive playmakers.
Not every 49er will be worth scooping up in a fantasy draft though. Using the consensus average draft position (ADP) generated by Fantasy Pros, here are the 49ers you should and should not consider in your fantasy drafts this season:
Draft: QB Jimmy Garoppolo
A less-than-stellar Super Bowl showing and limited usage early in the season have cast doubt on Garoppolo’s abilities as a quarterback. He was among the league’s most efficient passers last season though and it stands to reason he’ll see an uptick in production with a greater workload in 2020. Over his final eight games last year, Garoppolo’s 16-game averages went to 4,344 yards, 28 touchdowns and 12 interceptions. If you’re still looking for a quarterback late in your draft, Garoppolo is a great value — especially in two-quarterback leagues.
ADP: 137 overall (QB 23)
