Both Philip Rivers and Colin Kaepernick have struggled in recent weeks, but it’s the Niners’ Kaepernick we want to focus on. He’s on the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook’s props board for 210.5 gross passing yards, a number we expect him to stay UNDER.

Kaepernick has not reached 210.5 gross passing yards in five of his last six games, averaging 182.5 yards through the air over that span. In his defense, it doesn’t help that he’s been sacked 49 times, third most in the league.

Sporting News’ Fantasy Source staff has Kaepernick ranked as its No. 21 quarterback this week, so they’re less than bullish on the 49ers’ signal-caller.
