Week 14 at Cincinnati Bengals
Jimmy Garoppolo struggled in a loss to the Seahawks last week, throwing for 299 yards, and a pair of touchdowns, but also two interceptions. Garoppolo has been an inconsistent fantasy asset, but he does have multiple touchdowns in four of his last five games.
This week, Garoppolo faces a Bengals defense that ranks 21st in aFPA to opposing quarterbacks. The Bengals just got lit up by Justin Herbert and lost their middle linebacker to a shoulder injury, so there’s upside in this matchup. Still, outside of deeper leagues and leagues where you can start two quarterbacks, he’s probably too risky to warrant serious QB1 consideration.
