The Facts: Part of the comfort that came with promoting 49ers coach Geep Chryst from QBs coach to OC was that he'd have the best in mind for Kaepernick. Chryst helped oversee his urgent rise to stardom and, despite mounting critics, is eager to defend a 2014 season during which many feel Kaepernick regressed. "Last year, you're playing with some different sets of challenges," Chryst said. "There was more change within the offensive line than he had experienced the last couple of years. How does that affect your production as a quarterback? You're behind more often in games. How does that affect your production as a quarterback? I cite the fact that we had six touchdowns nullified by penalty. You plug that back into his formula, he really wasn't. ... He didn't regress off his line as much as perceived."

Diehards Line: Valid points. As NFL.com notes, Kaepernick had a career high in passing yards and his completion percentage improved. That being said, he tossed more interceptions, fewer touchdowns and took 13 more sacks than he did the previous season. Chryst sounds like he's blaming this largely on the offensive line and on some ill-timed penalties. Indeed, it's easy to forget how dominant Kaepernick was early in his career. The question for fantasy owners is whether that player was just a product of Jim Harbaugh magic or if we'll see a rebound? If you believe the latter is coming, Kaepernick can be had for next to nothing come draft day.
