first four shouldn't see the field. Greenlaw needs rest. I'd sit him.
I would add Jennings, Ayuik, Banks and Ward.
I would add Purdy

He can play a couple series and mainly hand off or throw slants and screens on third down. They can protect him and play him a little.

I'd play starters a quarter and if they are injured in any way I'd let them sit the entire game.
Great dilemma to have!!!

What a nice problem to have. imo
Double bye weeks for: Trent, CMC, Kittle, Hargrave.
Beat the Rams with the rest of the starters playing half the game.

Yep, all we need to do is play enough to stay in rhythm and then let the non-MASH unit play the rest.
A lot of non-starters have knicks and bruises as well so spread the reps around.

Agree obviously. We'll see what they do.

Healthy teams win Super Bowls. So, the goal now is to get everyone as healthy as we can to make that 3-game run to the Lombardi.

Kyle Shanahan said after game you can't rest everyone, but anyone who has been hurt lately (CMC, Armstead, Banks, Jennings, J Brown) and key players (Purdy, Trent, Bosa, Deebo, Warner, Ward, Hargrave) likely won't play or not much vs. Rams. #49ers won't play in divisional round…

Two full weeks of not seeing game speed this late in the season is a lot. Whichever team the 49ers play in round 2 will be jacked up and ready to go. This team already seems to start slow, for the most part. I think it's important the 'healthy' starters play half the Rams game.
