San Francisco 49ers – Fantasy Forecast – Week 12
San Francisco 49ers 6-4 at Washington Redskins 3-7
Play ‘Em If You Got ‘Em
Colin Kaepernick
#8 Ranked QB
Consistency is not Kaepernick’s middle name, but that doesn’t matter this week because he is going against the Washington Redskins. The Redskins give up the 5th most fantasy points to QBs. Yes, Kaepernick has done you dirty the last 2 weeks, giving you a total of 16.82 points, but those games were against tough DEFs. Washington is not that, In fact, they are pretty awful. Kaepernick gave his owner’s 27.96 points against the Jaguars and we are expecting another game like that. Yes, we just compared Washington to Jacksonville, but just defensively.
Frank Gore
#5 Ranked RB
Gore has only had 2 games in single digits. One was last week, sorry. No worries, Gore owner’s should have a bounce back week going up against the Redskins (who give up the 2nd most points to RBs). Gore is a must start this week.
Vernon Davis
#1 Ranked TE
Davis is a must start this week. He had only 33 yards receiving but was able to get in the end zone for a TD. When you have Kaepernick throwing the ball to you, it can be a frustrating season but his QB likes him (especially in the red zone). Davis is listed as Questionable, but if he plays for the 49ers you should play him. Washington gives up the 9th most fantasy points to TEs.
Anquan Boldin
#28 Ranked WR
Boldin had his best week since week 4 with 56 yards receiving and a TD. Hopefully, this will give him and his coaches some much-needed confidence going into an easy matchup. Washington has given up the 6th most fantasy points to WRs, so why not start Boldin this week? We have a feeling there will be a lot of fantasy points to go around for the 49ers.
Gut Calls
San Francisco DEF
#5 Ranked DEF
People may not be ranking the 49ers that high this week but we believe that they could have a big game against RG3 and his offense. Washington has given up the 8th most points to DEFs and the 49ers are pretty good.
Bench Warmers
No one is on the bench. They are playing Washington (who loves to give up fantasy points). Great week to start a 49er.
