Stock up: Mark Nzeocha

In the wake of the trade of Eli Harold to the Detroit Lions, Mark Nzeocha is officially the 49ers newest starter.

Starting at SAM linebacker, he played solidly enough and hopefully will continue that form.

There are questions though at linebacker, so whether or not he can hold onto the starting role is a matter of conjecture. As well as entirely up to him.

There’s not much else to say but give the 49ers newest starter a stock up arrow.

Writers note: If you go onto the 49ers depth chart page, Nzeocha’s backup at SAM is… Nzeocha himself. Seriously.
