The Facts: Jimmy Garoppolo will not be activated from IR and is out for Week 17.
Diehards Line:This means that C.J. Beathard will start under center. His only notable target will be George Kittle because Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel are out. Kittle could end up as the TE1 in Week 17 with Richie James and Kenrick Bourne playing significant pass-catching roles as well.
