When you blast what is ranked as the league's best passing defense -- per our schedule-adjusted per-play metrics -- everyone needs to take notice. After three consecutive strong performances against lesser defenses, Jimmy Garoppolo was outstanding in Week 16 against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Winning their fourth straight game, the San Francisco 49ers put up a stunning performance in racking up 44 points. Jimmy G passed for 242 yards and 2 scores, along with rushing for a 1-yard score. That was good enough to be the overall QB3 in Week 16 (through Sunday's games).

Likely heavy underdogs in Week 17 as they face the Los Angeles Rams, Garoppolo will look to continue his prowess with a positive game script for pass-heavy volume.
