49ers QB C.J. Beathard will not start Thursday night

San Francisco’s starting quarterback tonight against the Oakland Raiders will be Nick Mullens, per source. C.J. Beathard will serve as his backup, but with his wrist injury affecting his grip on the football, Mullens will make his first NFL start and throw his first NFL pass.

Fantasy Impact: 

We didn't anticipate Beathard would start, so this news doesn't impact our rankings of the 49ers other offensive options. Matt Breida keeps his RB2/3 status, Marquise Goodwin checks in as a WR4, and George Kittle stays in TE1 territory.
