Fantasy Analysis: The San Francisco 49ers had a league-leading defense in 2011 and returned all eleven starters this year. This is a consistent and cohesive unit that performs better than any defense in the league today. This Niners group has a multiple pass rushers, including premier sackmaster Aldon Smith. They also excel at taking the football away and keeping games low-scoring. And although they didn't have him in Week 1, Ted Ginn Jr. is a top-three return man, capable of providing points in leagues that include ST returns.
