San Francisco’s starting quarterback tonight against the Oakland Raiders will be Nick Mullens, per source. C.J. Beathard will serve as his backup, but with his wrist injury affecting his grip on the football, Mullens will make his first NFL start and throw his first NFL pass.

We didn't anticipate Beathard would start, so this news doesn't impact our rankings of the 49ers other offensive options. Matt Breida keeps his RB2/3 status, Marquise Goodwin checks in as a WR4, and George Kittle stays in TE1 territory.

The tweet went on to say Beathard would be good if playing on Sunday. It's going to be a test for Thursday and the short week and the team probably won't know until then. Mullens and Savage are next up on the depth chart.
