San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick got paid in the offseason, but it hasn't yielded production on the stat sheet. He ranks as just the 16th-best fantasy quarterback on the year and has been extremely quiet lately with just three total touchdowns in his last three weeks combined. He's also committed four turnovers in that span.
Fantasy football start/sit advice, Week 11: Colin Kaepernick
Colin Kaepernick is failing to produce for fantasy owners again this season. Will he get it going this week against the New York Giants?

Plus, it's not like he had very tough matchups in those games. Well, he gets another good matchup with the New York Giants in Week 11. The Giants are just the 22nd-ranked defense against fantasy quarterbacks and they've struggled at putting pressure on the signal callers.
Plus, New York did just give up 107 rushing yards to Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson last week, so the ground game should be in play for Kap as well. His weapons are about as close to healthy as they've been all season, so everything sets up nicely for him.
Fantasy impact: Yes, the positives are apparent, but we certainly wouldn’t fault you for not using him this week. He’s a fringe QB1 with a high upside.
