Ross Dwelley Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley caught both of his passes for 25 yards during a 17-10 Week 5 loss against the Arizona Cardinals. With George Kittle placed on short-term IR for the next three weeks, Sunday was Dwelley's first opportunity to be the featured tight end this season. Unfortunately, the 49ers could not get their passing game going with rookie quarterback Trey Lance, who threw for under 200 yards and an interception. Dwelley should remain off the streaming radar due to the 49ers' run-centric offensive scheme.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley should slot into a starting role after George Kittle (calf) was placed on injured reserve. The 26-year-old has filled a depth role in the 49ers' offense ever since 2018 and now finds himself in line for an increased workload. San Francisco also has Charlie Woerner and Tanner Hudson on its roster, as well as Jordan Matthews on the practice squad. Dwelley caught his first pass of the season last Sunday, taking it 21 yards to the end zone. He's worth rostering in deeper leagues but should be kept out of starting lineups in most formats.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley represents an intriguing player to stash in deeper fantasy leagues, according to Matt Barrows of The Athletic. While Dwelley is stuck behind George Kittle on the depth chart, it's no secret that the latter's physical style of play subjects him to injuries. If Kittle were to go down again like he did last season, Dwelley would be the next man up at the tight end position, which San Francisco relies on immensely. He caught 19 passes for 245 yards and one touchdown through 16 games (nine starts) in 2020 and is worth rostering as a legitimate insurance policy for managers with Kittle rostered.
