Lenoir finished with 79 tackles (54 solo), a sack and an interception in 17 regular-season games.
Lenoir had to step into a starter's role after Jason Verrett and Emmanuel Moseley suffered season-ending injuries midseason. The 2021 fifth-round pick did not perform well in coverage, but those limitations did result in a high tackle total. Lenoir did show some improvements later in the year, so he might have done enough to fight for a starting spot across from Charvarius Ward in training camp next season.

49ers' Deommodore Lenoir: Big game in Week 16
Rotowire
Lenoir totaled nine tackles (six solo) and a pass defense against the Commanders during Saturday's 37-20 victory.
Lenoir set a season high with 10 stops against Seattle in Week 15, and he almost matched that total one week later versus Washington. The second-year cornerback has emerged as a steady starter this season for San Francisco. Though his totals of 65 tackles, one sack and one interception aren't noisy in IDP fantasy leagues, his numbers over the past two weeks may at least put him on the radar.

49ers' Deommodore Lenoir: Ruled out due to personal reasons
Rotowire
Lenoir (personal) won't play in Sunday's matchup against the Bears, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Lenoir played a major role for San Francisco's secondary during the first three weeks of the season, playing at least 40-plus defensive snaps in each game. However, the 22-year-old cornerback hasn't been a part of the defensive game plan over the past three contests, so his absence shouldn't affect the 49ers' rotations.

49ers' Deommodore Lenoir: Starts at cornerback
Rotowire
Lenoir started at cornerback in Sunday's 41-33 win over the Lions, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Lenoir had an impressive camp and was rewarded with a starting role since Emmanuel Moseley (knee) was held out. The 2021 fifth-rounder recorded three tackles (two solo) during the season opener, but he could return to a depth role once Moseley and Josh Norman (coach's decision) are cleared to play.
