Gabbert to the bench

After five weeks of watching quarterback Blaine Gabbert struggle, San Francisco 49ers coach Chip Kelly is making a change.

After weeks of speculation, Kelly named Colin Kaepernick his starting quarterback for Sunday’s game against Buffalo on Tuesday. (ESPN)

Nerdy Football Analysis: This move was coming sooner or later as Blaine Gabbert has been less than mediocre in his first five games averaging 178 yards and 1 TD per contest. Kaepernick won’t hold much fantasy value but the bar is so low in San Francisco he can’t be much worse. He’s got QB2 upside against the Bills in Week 6.
