Just saw this regarding Lynch on Rotoworld.com:
49ers rookie OLB Aaron Lynch is expected to remain the starter, even with Aldon Smith returning from suspension this week.
The 150th pick in May's draft, Lynch got his first start last week in New Orleans and has played over 300 defensive snaps. He's graded out as a top-nine 3-4 outside linebacker at Pro Football Focus, receiving high marks as a pass rusher, run defender, and in coverage. Lynch may make Ahmad Brooks expendable.
I expected him to eventually become a good pro player...but really didn't expect this to happen in his rookie year.
