MB notes the following as the possible 7 inactives:
1. QB Josh Johnson, the third quarterback.
2. C Marcus Martin. He's injured and is a safe scratch for the months of September and probably October.
3. WR Brandon Lloyd. He's not a starter and doesn't play special teams.
4. CB Dontae Johnson or CB Chris Cook. The 49ers like Johnson, but he's the least experienced of the team's cornerbacks. Johnson, however, has been playing special teams, and the 49ers might get more value. (Another option: because Jimmie Ward plays nickel cornerback, perhaps both Johnson and Cook sit).
5. Quinton Dial or Tank Carradine. It's hard to believe that these two, who played so many snaps and played so well in the preseason, wouldn't get to suit up for a game. But the 49ers have an abundance of backup linemen, and Demarcus Dobbs and Tony Jerod-Eddie play special teams.
6. Aaron Lynch. The 49ers may conclude that against a pass-happy team like Dallas they need all the pass rushers they can get. Still, Lynch is still rounding into shape and into form.
7A. Bruce Ellington or Quinton Patton. Do the 49ers need five wide receivers?
7B. Nick Moody or Chris Borland. If the answer to 7A is, yes, then the question becomes, do the 49ers need four inside linebackers? Moody and Borland both can play on special teams

I have a hard time believing that lynch, tank, and/or dial will be inactives for any game till Aldon comes back
Agreed, I choose the following:
Offense:
QB: Josh Johnson although it should be Blaine Gabbert (3rd QB)
Y: Quinton Patton (7th WR)
ROT: Anthony Davis (Injured)
C: Marcus Martin (Injured)
Defense:
LDE/NT: Tony Jerrod-Eddie (7th DL abd Dial can play LDE and NT)
SAM: Aaron Lynch (4th OLB)
RCB: Dontae Johnson (Cook can play both sides and Cox can play outside as well)
Other possibilities:
H-Back: Derek Carrier (plays ST)
RDE: Tank Carradine & DeMarcus Dobbs (Dobbs has played ST in the past)
