San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick threw for 235 yards and three touchdowns, and added nine rushes for 20 yards. The 49ers kept it pretty simple and Kaepernick was able to pick a bad Washington defense apart. He did not throw any interceptions, though he almost lost a fumble. On the year, Kaepernick has thrown for 2037 yards and ten touchdowns while rushing for 355 yards and three touchdowns.

Fantasy impact: Washington's defense is giving up the sixth most fantasy points to quarterbacks so this game can't be considered a turning point for the 49ers offense though it is surely a building point. Kaepernick is still a work in progress though he looked good against a leaky Washington defense. The matchups get a lot worse. The 49ers will face the St. Louis Rams who are giving up the tenth least fantasy points to quarterbacks.
