Summary

The 49ers were the top rated defense/special teams in most formats. This unit was dominating for much of the season. They did have a few struggles stopping the pass (16th) but did get 23 interceptions and 42 sacks, so all wasn't bad when teams dropped back to pass against San Fran. The 49ers were especially tough against the rush, ranking first overall. And they were first by a lot, holding team to just 77.3 yards per game. The 49ers have the guys in place to be very good once again. Aldon Smith is an emerging star at outside linebacker and Patrick Willis already is a star at his linebacker spot. Justin Smith just keeps going and does a great job of supporting the rush while providing a top pass rush. The secondary has some solid corners in Carlos Rogers and Tarell Brown - two guys with plenty of talent that should be better this season. The special teams are above average as well with Ted Ginn handling the return duties. Ginn is as explosive as any return man in the game.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
The 49ers are our top rated fantasy defense/special teams. This unit has it all - sack and interception potential, low yardage and point totals and above-average special teams play. Don't hesitate making them the first defense/special teams off the board come draft day.
