49ers' Eli Harold: Expected to replace Lynch

Harold is expected to fill the void left by Aaron Lynch's four-game suspension to start the season.

Analysis:

Harold has a big opportunity to seize a starting role out of training camp with Lynch violating the league's substance abuse policy. He packed on a planned 30 pounds this past offseason, so he likely won't be used as a pass-rush specialist, but he could rack up some tackles against the run if he does end up winning the job.
