5 NFL Stats to Know Through Week 12

Colin Kaepernick Led All Players With 33.14 Fantasy Points In Week 12

Colin Kaepernick led all players and actually notched the sixth-highest standard fantasy score of the year among all quarterbacks.

His 296 passing yards are tied for the second-most that the Miami Dolphins have allowed to any quarterback in a game this season. He also added 113 rushing yards on just 10 carries, which is the highest single-game total of any quarterback since his own 151 rushing yards in Week 16 of the 2014 season. Only two other players have rushed for more than 100 yards against the dolphins this season -- both were running backs with at least 27 carries.

Kaepernick has never been worse than the 16th-best fantasy quarterback in any of his six weeks as the starter this season. He has ranked eighth or better in each of the past four weeks, averaging 24.68 fantasy points per game.

His 0.05 Passing NEP per drop back is significantly better than Blaine Gabbert's mark (-0.12), and Kaepernick will likely remain the starter going forward (and maybe into 2017).
