Colin Kaepernick has been a quality fantasy option since he took over for the San Francisco 49ers, averaging 19.6 fantasy points per game and finishing as a top-eight fantasy quarterback in each of the last two weeks.

A huge 37% of his fantasy points this year have come from rushing (yards and touchdowns), giving him a very safe floor as far as sleeper quarterbacks go, and his passing numbers also leave some room for optimism.

His completion percentage sits at only 53% for the season -- a number that is well below even his previous career-worst of 58.4%. That's not to say that he's not playing poorly, but it's generally a winning bet that a player will at least bounce back a bit from a four-game stretch of numbers that differ greatly from what they've done before.

The New England Patriots have allowed the 11th most fantasy points to opposing quarterbacks this season, and the Pats have also allowed three 25-plus rushing-yard performances to the position. Even if Kaepernick's passing numbers don't improve, his rushing ability gives him both a nice floor and nice upside this week.
