8 Fantasy Football Sleepers for Week 9

Colin Kaepernick, QB, San Francisco 49ers

Colin Kaepernick has quietly been a reasonable fantasy quarterback through his first two starts, scoring 18 and 15 fantasy points, respectively. He has been awful throwing the ball, but he is proving that the Konami Code that is rushing quarterbacks is as alive as ever in 2016 -- with nearly half of his fantasy points coming from his 150 rushing yards.

He has a good matchup for passing the ball this week, taking on a New Orleans Saints defense that ranks 27th in Adjusted Defensive Passing NEP per play and has allowed top-10 fantasy production to quarterbacks.

For as bad as Kaep has been, we can also expect his numbers to improve moving forward. He currently has only a 46% completion percentage -- a number that is unsustainably low even for an inaccurate passer like Kaepernick, who posted completion percentages of 59% and 61% in his last two seasons.
