San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick had a big game against the St. Louis Rams in Week 6. Kaepernick completed 22 of 35 passes for 343 yards and three touchdowns with no interceptions. The Rams have actually fielded a pretty solid pass defense this season as well, allowing 222.4 passing yards per game after taking into account Kaepernick's big game.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick is coming off a huge game in Week 6, but is he worth a start against the Broncos?
Michael Thomas
Kaepernick has had a solid season thus far, with 1,456 yards, 10 touchdowns and four interceptions. Three of those interceptions came in one very bad game against the Chicago Bears in Week 2. He's completed 64.3 percent of his passes and has added another 242 yards on the ground.
That said, Kaepernick will have to keep up with Denver Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning in Week 7. Manning currently leads the league's No. 4 passing offense, so keeping up with him is a tall task to be certain.
Fantasy impact: Kaepernick has been a consistently decent fantasy option, though he’s not putting up huge numbers every week. In deep leagues with multiple quarterbacks, he hasn’t been a must-start each week. That said, coming off his big performance against the Rams, it seems likely that the 49ers will try and air it out against the Broncos, so he’s worth a start for Week 7.
