Who to Start for Week 13 of Fantasy Football
Start Colin Kaepernick, SF QB – Have you seen him play the past three games, why wouldn’t you start him? The two games that he started he scored over 20 fantasy points and the third game when he replaced an injured Alex Smith, he scored 18 points and he only played in 2.5 quarters. He has been a solid play and it should only get better this week when he faces a St. Louis Rams team that is ranked in the bottom half in pass defense.
He brings a different dimension to the 49ers that we haven’t seen since the Steve Young era, a quarterback who can throw and run. I like what he has brought to the team as the 49ers offense is firing on all cylinders, scoring over 30 points in the two Kaepernick starts. If he is still on the waiver wire, pick him up and start him with confidence because I know I will. Colin Kaepernick Week 13 projections: 250 passing yards, 2 touchdowns, 40 rushing yards and a rushing touchdown.

Who to Sit for Week 13 of Fantasy Football
Sit Jeremy Maclin, Phi WR – Whatever you do, do not hit submit with Jeremy Maclin in your starting line-up. I know you might be tempted to start Maclin because of the loss of DeSean Jackson, but this makes Maclin even less of a must-start this week. Look at the guys that will be replacing Jackson: Jason Avant, Riley Cooper, Damaris Johnson and Greg Salas. Do you think the Dallas Cowboys Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan will be focusing his attention on stopping those receivers? You probably didn’t even know those guys were on the Eagles team let alone one will be starting opposite of Maclin.
It doesn’t bode well for Maclin either that he may be without Michael Vick again, who still hasn’t passed the final stage of the league’s concussion protocol. All signs point to Maclin having a sub-par game, posting similar numbers to last week’s loss. I hope you have a replacement for him this week. Jeremey Maclin Week 13 projections: 5 receptions for 43 yards and no touchdowns.
