San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Anquan Boldin hasn't had a big game every week, but he's been reliable for the team since they traded a sixth-round pick for him in 2013. He comes through with the big catches in big situations and occasionally has a big game on top of that. On Monday against the St. Louis Rams, Boldin had one of those games.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 7: Anquan Boldin
Anquan Boldin had a big game in Week 6 and he should probably be in fantasy lineups against the Broncos in Week 7.

The veteran receiver caught seven of the nine passes thrown his way for 94 yards and a touchdown, helping the 49ers to a big 31-17 victory and aiding in Colin Kaepernick's big day. Boldin is one of the starting receivers next to Michael Crabtree, but San Francisco has attempted to spread the ball around this season, including Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson whenever possible.
Kaepernick will be eyeing another big game in Week 7, however. The 49ers are heading to Denver to take on Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos, and all indications are that it will be an offensive slugfest. Kaepernick will be trying to keep up with one of the NFL's best quarterbacks, so Boldin could be in for a big day.
Fantasy Impact: Boldin isn’t a must-start every week and the Broncos are decent at defending the pass. They allow opposing quarterbacks to throw for 241.4 yards per game, which ranks them 16th in the league. But the Rams were even better in that regard, ranking ninth in the league even after Kaepernick’s big day. Boldin should once again be Kaepernick’s top target and he should be in fantasy lineups this week. Start him.
