"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt; The 49ers reportedly go with backup quarterback Colin Kaepernick against the Saints on Sunday. (Ezra Shaw/Getty Images&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh has informed starting quarterback Alex Smith that backup Colin Kaepernick will start Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, reports SI.com.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;A source tells SI.com that the decision is not based on health. Kaepernick completed 16 of 23 passes for 243 yards and two TDs and no interceptions in the 49ers' 32-7 victory over the Chicago Bears on Monday night. It was Kaepernick's first career start and Smith did not play due to a concussion suffered the previous week.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\"I usually tend to go with the guy who has the hot hand,\" Harbaugh said earlier in the week. \"But we have two quarterbacks who have a hot hand.\"&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Kaepernick led the 49ers to scores on their first four possessions against the Bears to build a 20-0 lead and opened up a 27-0 cushion with a five-play, 62-yard touchdown drive to start the third quarter.\nhttps://twitter.com/SI_JimTrotter/status/271451319775154177&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
