» All things considered, Colin Kaepernick acquitted himself well against a very aggressive Rams defense. If Alex Smith can’t go next week, Kaepernick will get the start. The problem is that the Niners host the Chicago Bears next week. You don’t want any part of that matchup. » Let’s not start the Nick Foles over Michael Vick conversations quite yet. Foles took over after Vick left with a concussion, but Philadelphia’s offensive line didn’t do any better protecting the rookie than it did the veteran.

Even though he only has 144 passing yards, his fantasy stats are pretty respectable. » For every game like Philip Rivers had in Week 2, there are games like he had today. A lot of it had to do with the Falcons defense, but the fact remains, his 173 yards and two interceptions didn’t help anyone who started him this week.
