Huddle Up: Lance will receive a fresh start with Dallas, but Dak Prescott will continue to be the starting quarterback because the team will have a lot of dead money if they decide to move on from him. Lance will not have fantasy value in the foreseeable future unless Prescott suffers an injury.

Huddle Up: Lance being dealt would open up the possibility of him having some QB2 value in deeper leagues, and his dynasty value would greatly increase.

Huddle Up: While Darnold has played fairly well during training camp and the preseason, this remains a stunning turn of events in San Fran and comes just a few years after the Niners traded the farm to move up for Lance, who has just eight games and four starts under his belt in the NFL. Darnold is now just an injury to Brock Purdy away from getting another chance but even then he'd have to prove he's vastly improved before being a candidate for lineups. As for Lance, the Niners will certainly explore trading him but don't figure to get much of a return after he just lost out on the backup job to Darnold. Lance's value is, at best, hanging by a thread in dynasty formats.

Huddle Up: Lance remains an unknown as a starter thanks to last year's foot injury, but he still possesses all the physical tools that made him a high-upside QB2 entering the 2022 campaign. Brock Purdy figures to be the Week 1 starter if healthy, but if Lance is given the chance to start at any point in 2023, he will be worth scooping up in all formats.

Huddle Up: Lance is expected to compete for the starting job during training camp but will enter as the underdog after Brock Purdy's success in 2022. He can be avoided in fantasy leagues if he does not start for a team next season.

Huddle Up: Brock Purdy's recovery from elbow surgery is reportedly going well, which naturally lends itself to the possibility San Francisco moves on from Lance. With that said, Lance is likely to get more reps during the offseason than Purdy and has plenty of time to make his case for a starting job, especially if Purdy encounters a setback while strengthening his arm this summer. Much like the Jimmy Garoppolo story played out last season, the 49ers may need Lance more than anyone expects in 2023.

Huddle Up: Ian Rapoport went as far as to tweet that teams are aware that Brock Purdy is likely the future starter. What a difference a few months make. Lance is unlikely to be dealt for now and will have to put on a show to reclaim a hold on the starting spot. He'll be a low-end QB1/high-end QB2 option with a lot of risk/reward this year.
