Jimmy Garoppolo gets win in first 49ers start.

Garoppolo didn’t throw any touchdowns against the Bears, but he moved the offense and led a 14-play, 86-yard drive to set up a game-winning field goal at the end of the game. Garoppolo was 26/37 for 293 yards and an interception along with four carries for eight yards on the ground. The fourth-year quarterback certainly looks like he’s been playing behind Tom Brady for the last three-plus years, as he’s very composed back there in the pocket and outside the pocket. He’s not yet a highly-reccomended fantasy option, but Garoppolo is an excellent dynasty league hold.

Rishard Matthews (hamstring) is inactive for Week 13.

Matthews’ hamstring is still giving him trouble, as he only practiced on Friday this week. This is his second-straight missed game, but he appears to be trending in the right direction for the first week of the fantasy playoffs next week. Corey Davis has some upside in FLEX spots today with Matthews out again.

Deonte Thompson caught two passes for 21 yards in Sunday’s loss to New England.

Thompson actually fared well with no receiver going over 22 yards on Sunday, but he’s been quiet over the past month after a strong start to his career with Buffalo. Fantasy owners shouldn’t rely on Thompson in Week 14 against Indianapolis.

Danny Amendola caught two passes for 34 yards in Sunday’s win over Buffalo.

Amendola was actually second on the team to Rob Gronkowski in yards as the Bills made things tough on Tom Brady, and he could have a larger target share in Week 14 against the Dolphins if Gronk is suspended for a reckless hit on Sunday. If that’s the case, Amendola should be a strong play in PPR leagues.

Zach Ertz leaves game to be evaluated for a concussion.

Ertz had his head hit the turf on a play late in the third quarter against Seattle, and he’s currently headed to the locker room. The good news is the tight end looked alert on the sideline, but his night might be finished. Ertz had two receptions for 24 yards before leaving and would have seven days to get cleared for next week if he does have a concussion.

Matt Forte (knee) is officially active today.

Forte played last week, so he was expected to give it another go in this Week 13 matchup with the Chiefs. The veteran running back does have some FLEX appeal, but there are probably better options out there considering he’s in a committee with Elijah McGuire and Bilal Powell.

Jacoby Brissett throws two interceptions in Colts’ loss.

Brissett was 21/36 for 174 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions against Jacksonville. It was a better fairing than their first matchup in which he was sacked ten times, but the Jags still got to Brissett four times in this one. Brissett did make some plays with his legs, carrying six times for 36 yards in the game. Brissett isn’t a recommended fantasy option against the Bills next week.
