Colin Kaepernick, Anquan Boldin, Michael Crabtree Post-Week 15 Fantasy Reaction

The San Francisco 49ers offense continues to underwhelm in the fantasy realm.

Granted, only desperate managers likely turned to Colin Kaepernick and Co. given a brutal matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. Those who did face an upward climb into advancing through the playoffs.    

Player	CMP/ATT	Pass YDs	TD	INT	Rush YDs

Colin Kaepernick	11/19	141	0	0	46
Anquan Boldin	2	23	0	4	11.5
Michael Crabtree	3	19	0	3	6.3

Simply put, Kaepernick cannot be trusted to anchor a fantasy offense. The once prolific dual-threat quarterback has not thrown multiple touchdowns in a single game since Week 6, and he's still searching for his first rushing score.

Seeking a slight silver lining, he scrambled more frequently, generating his most rushing yards (46) since Week 4. 

His struggles are bringing down his top targets too. Vernon Davis went missing months ago. Michael Crabtree has yet to deliver a 100-yard game and Boldin is relegated to no more than a low-risk, low-reward starter.

With Boldin wide open during Sunday's second half, his struggling quarterback flung it over his head, as documented by ESPN's Chris Sprow:

While the San Diego Chargers and Arizona Cardinals represent slightly better matchups to conclude the season, neither is bad enough to trust Kaepernick as a No. 1 quarterback.

Crabtree holds no place in a starting lineup these days, but Boldin remains a serviceable No. 3 wide receiver.
