Fantasy football: Jimmy Garoppolo and 4 other must-start quarterbacks in Week 2

Well, San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo‘s 2018 debut certainly didn’t go according to plan.

The Niners dropped their season opener to the Minnesota Vikings 24-16, and Garoppolo’s line was less than stellar — 15-of-33 for 261 yards, a touchdown and three interceptions thrown.

Yikes, for fantasy football owners who were hoping Jimmy G would pick up the magic where he left off after propeling the 49ers to a five-game win streak to close out last season.

Garoppolo’s efforts resulted in a mere nine points in ESPN’s standard-scoring, PPR leagues in Week 1.
