The 49ers host the Dolphins in Week 2 at Levi's Stadium, aiming to capitalize on a home-field edge after Week 1’s overseas win. Five players to watch: Osa Odighizuwa in the middle pressure and run defense, Kyle Juszczyk’s veteran how-to on motion and blocking, Ji’Ayir Brown in the safety role as he faces deep throws, Mike Evans as a trusted veteran target stepping in with De’Zhaun Stribling sidelined, and Dre Greenlaw back to anchor the defense.
