C.J. Beathard Likely Starter For First Preseason Game
5 years agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback C.J. Beathard is listed as the No. 2 quarterback on the depth chart. With starter Jimmy Garoppolo ruled out for the first preseason game, Beathard will likely get the start as he fights to make the team. The third-year pro has been mediocre in 13 career games with a 74.6 QB rating and is locked in a battle with Nick Mullens for primary backup duties. Initial reports suggest the team could kept just two signal callers on the 53-man roster. Mullens showed in 2018 he could be a competent NFL player so Beathard has work to do. Even if Beathard or Mullens have a strong game this Saturday, neither are fantasy-relevant.
