San Francisco 49ers

Robert Saleh returns to the coordinator role only to helm a defense hit hard by free-agent losses (LB Dre Greenlaw, DT Javon Hargrave, S Talanoa Hufanga, CB Charvarius Ward), without adding much depth in return. That said, four-time All-Pro LB Fred Warner and 2022 Defensive Player of the Year DE Nick Bosa are capable of carrying this defense when healthy, and the team faces one of the most favorable D/ST schedules, beginning with @SEA and @NO the first two weeks.
