Chemistry lacking between Stevie Johnson and Colin Kaepernick

Both players noted that Johnson has an "unorthodox" route running style and it has caused the QB/WR combo to be off at times. As Johnson puts it, “I set up my routes a little different. It's a gift and a curse. Because it can take some time to build chemistry with quarterbacks. But at the same time, the gift is that you know you can get open.” (Sacramento Bee)

Fantasy Impact:

This is mostly a case of a new QB and new WR working out the kinks. Johnson doesn't figure to be anything more than a bit player for fantasy teams this year, anyway. He's currently rated as the 76th best WR at FantasyPros.
