SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick says he has been wearing socks depicting police officers as pigs in protest of rogue cops who put the community and other officers at risk.Kaepernick issued a statement on Twitter on Thursday after photos began circulating on social media of him wearing the socks that show a pig dressed in a police hat. The photos were taken earlier in training camp before Kaepernicks refusal to stand during the national anthem as a form of protest became public.I wore these socks, in the past, because the rogue cops that are allowed to hold positions in police departments, not only put the community in danger, but also put the cops that have the right intentions in danger by creating an environment of tension and mistrust, he wrote. I have two uncles and friends who are police officers and serve ALL people. So before these socks, which were worn before I took my public stance, are used to distract from the real issues, I wanted to address this immediately.Kaepernick created a firestorm last weekend when his decision to sit during the national anthem in protest of what he called oppression of African Americans and other minorities became public.Kaepernick has said he plans to sit for the anthem again Thursday night when the 49ers player their final exhibition game in San Diego.---Online:AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFLAuthentic NFL Jerseys . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate.

Fiedorowicz -- concussionQB Ryan Tannehill -- knee (out)QB Aaron Rodgers -- calfQB Matthew Stafford -- fingerLocksQB: Kirk Cousins vs. CarolinaCousins has been delivering for fantasy owners lately, posting at least two touchdowns in eight straight games. This week, he faces a Panthers defense that ranks 30th against the pass and has given up the seventh-most fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Captain Kirk is in my top five this week.(Others: Matt Ryan vs. San Francisco, Philip Rivers vs. Oakland)WR: Dez Bryant vs. Tampa BayBryant had a rough outing against the Giants last week, but he should rebound this week with a matchup against the Bucs and rookie defensive back Vernon Hargreaves. Bryant should dominate this matchup. Lets hope he does.(Others: Larry Fitzgerald?vs. New Orleans, Michael Crabtree @ San Diego)RB: Devonta Freeman vs. San FranciscoFreeman was a dud in Week 14 and probably made it difficult for fantasy owners to survive the first round of the playoffs. For those who won and advanced, rejoice! Freeman has one of the best fantasy matchups in Week 15 against the 49ers. He may just take you to the championship all on his own.(Others: Carlos Hyde @ Atlanta, Jeremy Hill vs. Pittsburgh, Latavius Murray @ San Diego)TE: Cameron Brate @ DallasBrate had a subpar Week 14 against the Saints. Hes another player I expect to rebound in Week 15. Sunday, he takes on a Dallas defense that has had an issue with tight ends this season, as the Cowboys have given up the sixth-most fantasy points to his position this season.(Others: Eric Ebron?@ New York Giants)FlopsQB: Tom Brady @ DenverBrady goes from facing a good Ravens defense to a great Broncos defense in back-to-back weeks. I know its difficult to bench Brady, but Denver has given up the fewest fantasy points to quarterbacks this season. Brady is not in my top 12 come Sunday. There are better options out there, and dont be afraid to use them.WR: Kelvin Benjamin vs. WashingtonJosh Norman will shadow Benjamin on Monday night. Normans side of the field is rarely targeted and has been very effective when the ball is thrown his way.dddddddddddd Dont expect a lot of targets for Benjamin in Week 15. No targets = no fantasy points.RB: Mark Ingram @ ArizonaIngram played last week despite a toe injury but did not produce for fantasy owners. It doesnt get much easier this weekend. Arizona is one of the toughest defenses against running backs. The Cards allow the fourth-fewest yards per carry in the league and have given up the fewest fantasy points to running backs this season.TE: Martellus Bennett @ DenverBennett is playing with ankle and shoulder injuries. He takes on a Denver defense that has only allowed the fewest touchdowns (two) to tight ends this season. There are better options this week than the Black Unicorn.SleepersQB: Tyrod Taylor @ ClevelandTaylor will start against the Browns in Week 15. The Browns have allowed the most fantasy points per game to quarterbacks this season. Allowing 30 passing touchdowns in 14 weeks will do that for you. Taylor will be #ActiveAndAttractive on Sunday.(Honorable mention: Colin Kaepernick vs. Atlanta)WR: Jamison Crowder vs. CarolinaCrowder faces Carolina, a defense that has allowed the fifth-most fantasy points per game to wideouts this year. Crowder has a very favorable matchup against Panthers DB Leonard Johnson. Carolina has given up the fourth-most receiving yards to wide receivers this season as well.(Honorable mentions: Steve Smith Sr. vs. Philadelphia, Tyreek Hill vs. Tennessee, Rishard Matthews @ Kansas City)RB: Bilal Powell vs. MiamiWith Matt Forte dealing with a knee issue, the door could open for Powell to get a lot of work in the Jets backfield. Powell will take on a Dolphins defense that allows over 130 yards per game to running backs, which ranks 30th in the NFL. Im excited to see what Powell will do, if given the chance.(Honorable mentions: Tevin Coleman vs. San Francisco, Isaiah Crowell @ Buffalo, Kenneth Farrow vs. Oakland, Kenneth Dixon vs. Philadelphia, Justin Forsett vs. New England)TE: Ladarius Green @ CincinnatiGreen is getting his share of targets in the Steelers offense. This week, he takes on the Bengals, who have surrendered over 70 yards per game to tight ends, most in the NFL. Cincinnati has given up the fourth-most fantasy points to tight ends this season. Green is in my top five come Sunday.(Honorable mentions: Antonio Gates vs. Oakland)Good luck in Week 15! ' ' '
