After an impressive debut in which he completed 72% of his passes and threw for 3 touchdowns, Nick Mullens is on the streaming radar entering Week 10. The 49ers have yet to officially name Mullens the Week 10 starter, although there have been reports that he will be.
#49ers coach Kyle Shanahan held off making an announcement until his players return from their time off, but it would be a major surprise if QB Nick Mullens did not start moving forward, sources say. My story: https://t.co/hWgbzkYQS2

Mullens ripped up a far-from-imposing Oakland Raiders defense in Week 9, but the matchup is soft again in Week 10 as the New York Giants visit San Francisco. Like the Raiders, the Giants are a bottom-10 defense, per our schedule-adjusted metrics.
Heading into Week 9 (which was the Giants' bye), two of the last three quarterbacks to face the G-Men posted top-12 fantasy finishes.
