Colin Kaepernick, Michael Crabtree, Anquan Boldin Post-Week 10 Fantasy Reaction

Sunday's matchup with the New Orleans Saints marked a great day for the San Francisco 49ers running game, especially in the red zone. While the rushing offense was the story early, Colin Kaepernick got the passing game going and made several fantasy owners happy.

Comp-Att	Pass Yds	TD-INT	Rush Yds	Fantasy Points (Standard)
14-32	210	1-0	24	14.8

Player	Rec.	Targets	Rec. Yds	Rec. TD	Fantasy Points (Standard)
Anquan Boldin	6	15	95	1	15.5
Michael Crabtree	3	8	62	0	6.2

The initial impact for Kaepernick came when he connected with Anquan Boldin in the second quarter on a 15-yard touchdown. Boldin had just two touchdowns coming into Sunday, but has been a steady target for the Niners throughout the last several weeks.

Kaepernick made some mistakes for San Francisco in the game, including a fumble, but still put up solid numbers for his fantasy owners. Matt Maiocco of CSN notes the early production for Kaepernick:

As much as Kaepernick likes to spread the ball around, it's clear that Boldin has become a dependable option. The veteran has registered at least seven targets and has came away with a touchdown in the last four games.

Matt Miller of Bleacher Report put it simply when referencing Boldin's performance Sunday:

Boldin's role over the last several weeks was the impact owners believed Michael Crabtree would have this entire season. Instead, he continued to disappoint against the porous Saints pass defense.

Needless to say, owners can't afford to depend on Crabtree outside of a desperate flex option at this point. Though the production of Boldin might not be sustainable throughout the rest of the season, it's evident that he's a sure-handed target for Kaepernick.

Meanwhile, the Niners quarterback remains an inconsistent start for fantasy owners, but he can still get points in both the passing and rushing game.

Going against the New York Giants and Washington Redskins over the next two weeks, Kaepernick and his receivers might put up some huge statistics. He shouldn't be started over obvious QB1 options when available, but Kaepernick can be started in good matchups.
