Chip Kelly: 'We're looking at every option at QB'

Oct 10, 2016

After San Francisco's 33-21 Week 5 loss to the Cardinals, 49ers HC Chip Kelly told reporters of the Mercury News that he's "not naming any starters for Buffalo, so just don’t rule anything out" and reiterated his sentiments on Monday morning saying that "We're looking at every option" at QB.

This looks to be the beginning of a quarterback controversy between Colin Kaepernick and Blaine Gabbert that could continue throughout the season.

Fantasy Impact:

If Colin Kaepernick does, in fact, become the 49ers starter, he may offer value as a low-end QB2 in two-QB leagues or a streamer in the right matchup. Chip Kelly has a history of making his quarterbacks fantasy-relevant and we know that he'll let Kaepernick use his legs, as Blaine Gabbert leads all QBs in rushing yards this season.

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
