The Facts:
Crabtree always had the potential to be a No. 1 receiver, but he didn't have the production until Colin Kaepernick took over at quarterback for the San Francisco 49ers. For Crabtree, it was a matter of trust from Kaepernick. "I think he trusted me more. Playing wide receiver, you need a quarterback who trusts you. I feel like he trusted me," Kaepernick told the NFL Network on Wednesday.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
As NFL.com's Gregg Rosenthal suggested, it's not hard to read between the lines here. It might not even be reading between the lines. Crabtree made it clear Kaepernick trusted him more than ex-starting quarterback Alex Smith. Asked if there was a lack of trust with Smith. "I wouldn't say that," Crabtree said. "I don't want a controversy. ..." Rosenthal went on to point out that one of Kaepernick's greatest strengths is that he can make every throw. And he's not afraid to throw it to Crabtree in any situation. That should benefit Crabtree and his new teammate Anquan Boldin; both men aren't known for creating huge separation from defenders.
