San Francisco 49ers quarterback Blaine Gabbert is set to start this week. Offensive coordinator Geep Chryst says Gabbert reminds him a lot of former 49ers quarterback Alex Smith. "Alex came here, was very young and played, had to slug out a lot of tough situations," Chryst said. "We felt like Blaine had all this talent, and as a young player, maybe a change of scenery would be good for him. He's really applied himself well in the classroom. He's engaged and active; he's a really bright guy."
Fantasy Analysis:
Being compared to a guy that failed to throw a single touchdown to wide receiver last season may or may not be a compliment.
