San Francisco 49ers QB Sam Darnold will play the second half of the team’s Sunday preseason opener against the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Kyle Shanahan told KNBR.
Fantasy Impact: Darnold joined the 49ers over the offseason after spending his most recent seasons in Carolina after being traded. Reports about Darnold’s camp performances have varied on whether or not he was ahead of QB Trey Lance in the 49ers’ QB rotation; Lance will start Sunday’s game, which indicates he may be ahead of Darnold at the moment. Darnold’s performance on Sunday will be important for establishing himself as an option in San Francisco as the former first-rounder struggles to find a role in the NFL after a shaky start to his career.
