Jimmy Garoppolo

Jimmy Garoppolo is a 34-year-old quarterback with 12 years of NFL experience who is currently a free agent, and there are no 2026 stats in his file. His production, when he has had any, has come almost entirely through the air. Across the last three seasons his rushing has been negligible: 39 yards on 20 carries in 2023, 5 yards on 2 carries in 2024, and minus-10 yards on 9 carries in 2025. Any fantasy value depends on volume as a passer.

The trend is a steady shrinking of opportunity. His 2023 sample was the most meaningful: 7 games, 1,205 passing yards, 7 touchdowns against 9 interceptions, and 73.1 PPR points, about 10.4 per game. In 2024 he appeared once and posted his best single-game line in the data, 334 yards and 2 touchdowns on 27-of-41 passing for 20.9 points. In 2025 he appeared in 3 games, recorded no passing stats, and finished with minus-1 PPR points.

The Clutch Edge projection of 18.8 points per game, ranked 53rd among QB/RB/WR/TE, assumes a starting role and efficiency the recent data does not show. Only one of his last 11 appearances cleared 20 points, and his 2023 per-game output was roughly half the projection. As a free agent with no 2026 games, he cannot be rostered for meaningful snaps this week in season-long or DFS lineups.

What would change the read is a signing that comes with a clear path to starting snaps. In that case the 2024 game offers a reasonable ceiling, and the 2023 interception rate is the main risk. Until that happens, he is a name to monitor, not a player to roster.
