The Facts:
After predicting a "breakout" campaign for Colin Kaepernick, HC Jim Harbaugh pointed to the additions of veterans Stevie Johnson and Brandon Lloyd and the drafting of burner Bruce Ellington. "Kap said it the other day. He feels like he has a stable of receivers and maybe that's the first time we've said that since we've all been here together," Harbaugh said. "I concur. It feels that way."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
According to NFL.com, a lack of depth and game-changing talent at the wide receiver position arguably cost the San Francisco 49ers a repeat trip to the Super Bowl last season. With Michael Crabtree out for most of the season, Anquan Boldin was the only 49ers wideout to catch more than 19 passes. San Francisco's third-leading target was fullback Bruce Miller. The lack of depth forced OC Greg Roman to roll out a heavy dose of two-receiver sets as the 49ers pounded people with the run. With a healthy Crabtree alongside Boldin, Johnson and tight end Vernon Davis, San Francisco has instant scheme versatility. And that should help accelerate the development of Kaepernick, who might provide fantasy football owners with solid value this summer.
