Over or under: 345.5 pass completions
Pick: Over 345.5 completions
More attempts means more completions, but there’s more to the increase in production than an increase in volume. The 49ers’ personnel is full of receivers who thrive after the catch. There’ll be some deeper throws, but Garoppolo is at his best connecting on short and intermediate routes in the middle of the field. That allows him to be efficient and allows the receivers to get in space where they’re at their best. If Garoppolo’s primary targets are Deebo Samuel, Brandon Aiyuk, George Kittle, Kendrick Bourne and Trent Taylor, he’ll get plenty of easy completions in the first and second levels of the passing game, so his 69.1 percent completion rate from last season shouldn’t suffer with more attempts.
