Analyst predicts 10-win season
Actually, that's not accurate. NFL Media's Cynthia Frelund predicts 10.1 wins for the 49ers in 2020. I just don't know how you earn 0.1 of a win, so I rounded.

The Huddle projects Garoppolo to pass for 4,100 yards
The Huddle projects quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo to surpass last season's mark of 3,978 yards and throw for 4,100 yards in 2020. Here is what the Fantasy Football site said about the projection (h/t to Kyle Madson of Niners Wire).
"After six years in the NFL, Garoppolo finally lasted for 16 games as a starter and ended with 3,978 yards and 27 TDs. He topped 300-yards just three times but threw for 2+ TDs in about half of his games. SF ranked only #29 with 476 pass attempts and yet ranked #2 with 428 rushing attempts. That limits what Garoppolo can do fantasy-wise and almost no yardage or scores as a runner further keeps him in fantasy back-up territory."
Garoppolo's 3,978 passing yards in 2019 already ranks fourth in franchise history. Reaching 4,100 yards would move the quarterback into third place behind Steve Young's 4,170 yards in 1998 and Jeff Garcia's 4,278 yards in 2000.
Meanwhile, Pro Football Focus projects Garoppolo to throw for fewer yards in 2020. The analytics site predicts the 49ers quarterback will rack up 3,734 yards through the air.
So, if you're a Niners fan, you may want to go with The Huddle's numbers.
