Jimmy Garoppolo Shaky But Gets Victory
5 years agoSan Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo completed 18 of 27 passes for 166 yards, a touchdown and an interception in Week 1 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Garoppolo paid for a careless pass the Bucs returned for a touchdown but he was able to game-manage the team to victory. Until the 49ers Defense took over in the second half, Garoppolo looked very shaky and generally uncomfortable but he settled in and found Richie James Jr. for a 39-yard score in the third quarter. Jimmy G’s performance won’t inspire many fantasy managers but it was his first full game returning from a torn ACL. He’ll be a middling QB2 in Week 2 against the Cincinnati Bengals.
