Colin Kaepernick showing he can produce

East Bay Times

Aug 09, 2016 · 8:08 PM EDT

Colin Kaepernick hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in nearly 10 months, including the final three games before his midseason benching last November.

But when he hit Jerome Simpson with back-to-back scoring strikes in Tuesday's red-zone drill, Kaepernick showed the production his new coaches will weigh most in resolving the ongoing quarterback competition with Blaine Gabbert.

Offensive coordinator Curtis Modkins, before practice, echoed coach Chip Kelly's earlier depiction of their ideal quarterback: one who excels with accuracy, decision making and the ability to lead the team.

Fantasy Impact:

HC Chip Kelly has yet to say whether Kaepernick or Gabbert will start Sunday's exhibition opener at home against the Houston Texans. Kaepernick and Gabbert improved their practice-field accuracy Tuesday, albeit with mostly short throws to receivers running mostly horizontal routes. Gabbert completed 10 of 12 passes in full-team drills, and Kaepernick was 8 of 11.

Kelly: 49ers WR competition 'wide open'

Behind Torrey Smith, the 49ers have a dearth of wide receivers who have experienced success in the NFL.

Jerome Simpson's up-and-down career gives the 49ers the second-most production on the team's depth chart.

Coach Chip Kelly has been impressed by Simpson, who appears to be making the most of the chance the organization gave him to resuscitate a career from multiple suspensions.

"It's really wide open," Kelly said on Tuesday morning. "Besides Torrey, let's find out who the other playmakers are at that wide receiver position."

Fantasy Impact:

Simpson made his mark on the practice field Monday when he got behind cornerback Dontae Johnson to catch a long touchdown pass from quarterback Blaine Gabbert. We have Bruce Ellington second among 49ers on our WR list and some who follow the team feel he'll get the WR2 job we've reported. Quinton Patton, DeAndre Smelter and Aaron Burbridge are among some others in camp.

49ers Beat: Bruce Ellington could win WR2 job

Mercury News

Torrey Smith is poised to assume (thrive?) as the No. 1 receiver, seeing how Anquan Boldin’s three-year term hasn’t led to an invitation back for Year 4. But who will complement Smith?

Quinton Patton (1 TD in 36 career catches) is no lock to assume the No. 2 role, and it will be worth studying how his overzealous approach will mesh with Chip Kelly’s ideals. Jerome Simpson has a great opportunity to revive his career. Bruce Ellington figures to see a lot of reps, especially from the slot.

Eric Rogers, a CFL import, has the 6-3 frame that will be especially enticing if he shows the desire to challenge for every ball. DeAndre Smelter, a medical redshirt as a rookie, remains raw at the position and his massive mitts surprisingly let several passes slip through his hands in the spring.

Fantasy Impact:

This writer predicts Ellington will win the WR2 job and we'll see Rogers in three-receiver sets, along with Smith. Reading the names in this news item, it's not hard to see there is a slew of unproven options abound on this young corps. With the QB also in question, there is a lot we need to learn about this 49er offense.

49ers WR Jerome Simpson (finger, probable) is probable for Week 15.
