2024 Fantasy Outlook
Garoppolo signed with the Rams in March to back up Matthew Stafford after a one-year stint in Las Vegas that saw him benched by Week 9. He actually threw the ball downfield more than usual last season (six-year high 8.1 average target depth), but it didn’t result in much good. At the time of his benching, Garoppolo led the league in interceptions and his 65.1 completion percentage was a career low with a minimum 90 attempts. If he gets on the field this year, he’ll likely revert to his usual game-manager role with little downfield passing and no rushing upside to speak of. While wideouts Cooper Kupp and Puka Nacua are skilled after the catch, it doesn’t leave much room for Garoppolo to make a fantasy impact, even in two-QB leagues. Garoppolo, who turns 33 in November, also is suspended the first two games for violating the league’s performance-enhancing substances policy. Read Past Outlooks

Won't play Sunday
Garoppolo is not expected to play in Sunday's preseason game against the Cowboys, Cameron DaSilva of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
Garoppolo did not appear among the quarterbacks suited up pregame, leaving Stetson Bennett as Dresser Winn to handle the Rams' signal-caller duties Sunday, according to Stu Jackson of the team's official site. Garoppolo is expected to serve as the No. 2 quarterback this season, though he'll still miss the first two regular-season games while serving a suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Therefore, Bennett and Winn are set to compete for the backup quarterback job to begin the 2024 campaign, so it's not too surprising that they'll be the ones under center for the team Sunday. Garoppolo's next chance to suit up this preseason will come during Saturday's exhibition against the Chargers.

Trey Lance highlights the list of targets in Ryan Pohle's breakdown of Sunday's two-game NFL Preseason slate.
As coach Sean McVay and QB Matthew Stafford enter Year 4 together, the Rams have enough firepower to remain a top-tier offense. Ultimately, the defense may dictate how their 2024 campaign unfolds.
The Raiders enter training camp with question marks at quarterback, but there's little debate about who the top target will in the offense: WR Davante Adams, of course.
Jerry Donabedian looks at details for all the big free-agent contracts and notices that age seems to matter as much as skill when it comes to running backs.

Garoppolo began last season as the backup to Trey Lance in San Francisco only to take over in Week 2 when Lance suffered a season-ending injury. The same fate hit Garoppolo a couple months later when a foot injury in Week 13 ended his season. In between, he was the same Jimmy G we’ve come to expect -- a high completion percentage (5th) thanks to a lot of short passes (2nd) and few deep shots (26th), with an average target depth of 7.1 yards (27th). The Raiders guaranteed $34 million for that skill set and reunited the game manager with coach Josh McDaniels, for whom he played in New England from 2014-16. Garoppolo at least has Davante Adams to target, and the Raiders also signed WR Jakobi Meyers, who had 804 yards and six touchdowns in New England last year. Hunter Renfrow is still around as the slot guy, while the team signed TE Austin Hooper and drafted TE Michael Mayer in Round 2 after trading Darren Waller to the Giants. It's a decent supporting cast, but the Raiders also want to run the ball with Josh Jacobs, and Garoppolo won't add rushing stats of his own (225 career yards, seven TDs). There are better QB2 options.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set to back up Stafford
Garoppolo, who was just released by the Raiders on Wednesday, is signing a one-year deal with the Rams to serve as Matthew Stafford's backup, ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The veteran signal-caller will still have to sit out the first two games of the 2024 season due to a violation of the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances, but his status following that brief ban is now confirmed. Garoppolo is presumably a slight upgrade on Carson Wentz, the No. 2 quarterback the Rams ended the 2023 season with. That said, Garoppolo's play in Las Vegas, which was shaky enough for him to get benched for rookie Aidan O'Connell, does cast doubt over how effective he'd be if forced to fill in for Stafford.
