Colin Kapernick's Instant Fantasy Reaction After Week 7

He may not be Peyton Manning or Drew Brees, but another strong performance for Colin Kaepernick in Week 7 solidifies him as a strong fantasy quarterback option.

Kaepernick finished the game with 199 yards passing and 68 yards rushing along with a touchdown on the ground. In ESPN's standard scoring leagues, he put up 19 points.

Even without a number of key guys on offense, Kaepernick is getting the job done. He had a huge game to start the season with 412 yards and three touchdowns against the Green Bay Packers, but then things slowed down quite a bit. He's starting to turn things around again now with two straight solid outings.

The good news for Kaepernick is he should get at last one weapon back in the next few weeks. According to Marc Sessler on NFL.com, Michael Crabtree has a chance to be back in mid-to-late November, and he could make a big difference for this offense.

He isn't the top-tier fantasy option that he used to be, but Kaepernick is still a must-start in most fantasy leagues.  He has plenty of upside thanks to being a dual-threat QB, and he should be able to have a few more big games this season.
