SUMMARY
The 49ers defense wasn't great last season, but seems to be making some gains. Patrick Willis had an unbelievable rookie season and looks to be a fixture at linebacker for the 49ers for years to come. And the addition of end Justin Smith should help, giving the 49ers a decent pass rusher and end that can defend the run. Linebacker Manny Lawson was out most of last season, but he should be back and provides the 49ers with a top pass rusher in their 3-4 scheme. The secondary has some pretty good cover corners in Nate Clements and Walt Harris, but the depth behind them isn't great, which is a concern. The secondary could have some struggles. The special teams see their return game get a boost with the addition of return specialist Allen Rossum. He has return touchdowns in all but a season and has been a dependable return man for most of his career.
FANTASY OUTLOOK
Consider the 49ers a sleeper defense. They have a lot of young talent and an improved return game. San Fran will have some ups and downs, but good potential for sacks and interceptions.
