      When Alex Smith returns to health there is no question he should return to the starting line-up for the San Francisco 49ers.

That’ll be just about it for Alex Smith as starter for the 49ers. I have a feeling that Harbaugh already has plans to shove him down the stairs later this week. Then the sweepstakes begins for the fan base to be disappointed that their teams signs him to lead their offense in free agency. Gruden’s man crush is evident. At one point, he gushed, “You can call any play you can...

1. Colin Kaepernick is Worth a Pickup in Most Formats Although the 49ers have yet to commit to either Colin Kaepernick or Alex Smith (concussion) as the team's starter at this point, the upside presented by the former makes him a worthwhile speculative addition in most formats. Kaepernick would presumably have his passing upside limited, just as Smith does, by the generally...
