49ers QB Jimmy Garoppolo has improved team's attitude

Dec 12, 2017

There’s probably not a 3-10 team in the league feeling better about life than the 49ers.

And that’s easy to attribute to one guy in particular.

With quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo taking over two games ago and leading them to their first back-to-back road wins since 2014, the 49ers are feeling a new feeling — swagger.

“You can feel it in our building,” 49ers coach Kyle Shanahan said, via Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area. “Guys are gaining that confidence.”

Fantasy Impact:

That was the goal when the 49ers made the trade for him, the story said. Garoppolo is a guy to keep an eye on the rest of this season and heading into next season, especially in Shanahan's offense. Some additional weapons in the offseason could also go a long way in increasing his fantasy value.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
