3 years agoSan Francisco 49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan told the media that quarterbacks Trey Lance and Jimmy Garoppolo will both see some action in the team's first preseason game on Saturday when they take on the Kansas City Chiefs. Garoppolo will play the opening series, and Lance is then expected to play the rest of the first half. This will be a big opportunity for Lance, as right now it seems he will start the year on the bench. Even after a very impressive training camp, the 49ers seem that they will opt to shelter Lance as a rookie. However, if Garoppolo struggles early on in the regular season, Lance could come in as the starter. If this were to happen, Lance has QB1 upside because of his rushing ability and talented group of pass-catchers in George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, and Brandon Aiyuk.--Tommy Adamopoulos - RotoBaller
