Jimmy Garoppolo (thumb) DNP again Thursday for 49ers
San Francisco 49ers quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo (right thumb) did not practice again Thursday for Week 17 against the Houston Texans.
Garoppolo expressed confidence he will be able to play and the 49ers are leaving the door open for that to happen, but back-to-back missed practices suggest that Trey Lance will be starting in Week 17.
numberFire's models currently rank Lance as the QB16 for Week 17 if Garoppolo is out. In his only start this year, Lance ran the ball 16 times for 89 yards and finished with 15.6 FanDuel points despite not having any touchdowns. The Texans have the seventh-worst pass defense in the NFL, according to our adjusted team metrics.
