Fantasy Football Start ‘Em, Sit ‘Em: Week 13 Predictions

Start: Colin Kaepernick, San Francisco 49ers


Opponent: at Chicago Bears


We're not just talking deep leagues anymore. No matter how you feel about Kaepernick's ability as a real-life player, he has established himself as a legitimate Top-10 QB option in the fantasy world. Since taking over as starter, here are his weekly finishes (Yahoo standard scoring): 15th, 15th, Bye, 10th, 6th, 9th, 1st. The ability to run the ball--his 62.17 rushing yards per game are more than Frank Gore, Jonathan Stewart, Jeremy Hill and others--gives him a high floor and high ceiling, and this Week 13 matchup couldn't get much better. Since their Week 10 bye, the Bears have given up 255 passing yards per game and 9.81 yards per attempt, they've been burned for six touchdowns and just one interception, and they struggled to contain Marcus Mariota on the ground (four carries, 46 yards) last week. Unless you have a legitimate superstar in a one-QB league, Kaep needs to be in your lineup. (Getty)
