The Niners lead the Bears 27-14 thanks to two pick sixes.
Fantasy Impact: There’s still a lot of football left to play, but Kaep has been everything the Niners could hope for. Aside from the interception, he’s been just as effective as a second-year QB could be.
Kaep was the top fantasy sleeper this week, and he has delivered. Congratulations if you plucked him off the wire.
