Rest CMC until his sheets aren't bloody

Poor Olivia Culpo…
I would rest all starters who are not listed below. Go with a lineup of:

QB Darnold
RB Mitchell / Mason
TE/HB Woerner / Willis / Dwelley (health)
T McKivitz / Pryor
G Burfurd / Feliciano
C Brendel
WR Conley / Bell / Gray (health) / Ray Ray (health)

DL Young / Gregory / Ferrell / Kinlaw / Givens / Joseph-Day / Beal Jr.
LB Burks / Flannigan-Fowles / Winters / Graham
CB Thomas / Womack / Oliver / Luter Jr. / Verrett
S Gipson / Ryan

I'd rest Purdy, CMC, Kittle, Aiyuk, Deebo, Trent and Banks on offense. Bosa, Hargrave, Armstead, Fred, Dre, Ward, Brown and Lenoir on defense. Everyone else plays. I wouldn't be concerned with rust at all after basically a two week layoff with this team as it is a veteran heavy squad.

I think rest would be the reverse effect of rustiness for us. We seem tired and banged up. 2 weeks off might rejuvenate us an bring us back to that dominant form we all know and love.

There are going to be a lot of disappointed 49er fans who voted in this poll. Very disappointed.

Shanahan isn't resting anyone, and will play next week's game as if playoff seeding depended on it.

Sorry. Not sorry.

I doubt that and I think he'd be foolish to do that.
Gotta be smart about it. Looks like the dolphins lost Bradley Chubb due to him playing meaningless minutes in a blowout. Can't afford to have that happen to us. Rest as many people as possible and if we happen to beat the rams then that is the icing on the cake.

Purdy also obviously. Darnold plays the whole game. Let him get some reps.
Rest Shanny and Wilks too

Bosa needs to sit. We absolutely can't have a Bosa injury going into the playoffs. He's played great after a slow start. He's fine.

Agreed. No way do you risk Bosa. Even in a down year, he's our best player on D.

I agree.
