Fantasy Football Quarterback Battle: Tom Brady vs. Jimmy Garoppolo

While Tom Brady is on a new team for the first time in his career, Jimmy G. and the 49ers are trying to avoid a super bowl hangover.

When it comes to drafting non-mobile quarterbacks in fantasy football, it is important to identify a passer that can produce incredible passing statistics to make up for the lack of points that would come from running the ball. Two quarterbacks that fit that mold are Tom Brady and Jimmy Garoppolo. Brady has a loaded arsenal of playmakers to target while Garoppolo’s 49ers are coming off an incredible run to the Super Bowl and seem primed to once again lead the league in offensive production. But which is the better pick in fantasy football? Sports Illustrated’s Ben Heisler and All49ers editor Grant Cohn discuss the two passers.
