Cornerback Tramaine Brock was perhaps the 49ers’ finest defensive player in Monday’s 28-0 victory over the Rams. He was targeted eight times, gave up three catches for 16 yards and batted away two passes. He’ll be matched up at times Sunday against another player coming off a strong Week 1 performance. Panthers receiver Kelvin Benjamin had six catches, 91 yards and a touchdown in 21-20 loss to the Broncos.

Guard Andrew Tiller, the most unsung member of the 49ers’ offensive line, was pressed into service in Week 1 after Anthony Davis suddenly switched back to tackle from guard. Tiller was solid against the Rams’ talented defensive line and delivered one of the blocks that sprung running back Carlos Hyde for his first touchdown. Tiller, who is dealing with an ankle injury, mostly will match up against Carolina defensive tackle Star Lotulelei.

Jeremy Kerley led the 49ers with seven catches against the Rams, impressive considering he was with the Lions just two weeks earlier. Kerley still hasn’t learned the entire offense and still is developing chemistry with quarterback Blaine Gabbert, so figure Kerley’s best is yet to come.
