Ross Dwelley Fantasy

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley (rib) is questionable for the Monday Night Football showdown against the Rams. Tyler Kroft (knee) has already been ruled out with an MCL sprain, his second consecutive absence. As a result, the Niners may be down to George Kittle and Charlie Woerner to handle things at the tight end position. With that said, no matter who is available, Kittle is by far the No. 1 guy for fantasy purposes.

San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley led the team with three catches for 42 yards in Thursday's 17-0 loss to the Houston Texas in the preseason finale. The 27-year-old was targeted three times, including on a 30-yard dime from backup QB Brock Purdy he caught and held onto after taking a hit over the middle of the field. While the veteran tight end has made some plays in the preseason, Dwelley does not have fantasy value in 2022. He is essential for the 49ers blocking schemes, however. He occasionally works from the backfield as a fullback, filling in as the starting fullback when Kyle Juszczyk missed four games in 2019. Dwelley will look to contribute to the 49ers' offense in the regular season opener against the Bears on September 12.

At the start of last season, San Francisco 49ers tight end Ross Dwelley was the clear No. 2 behind George Kittle, but by the end of the year, Charlie Woerner had clearly supplanted Dwelley. Woerner played 47 offensive snaps in three playoff games to Dwelley's zero, and he also became a stalwart on special teams. With that said, it's a safe bet that Woerner will enter 2022 as the primary backup to Kittle. Dwelley's versatility has been valuable in recent years, but others like Tanner Hudson and Jordan Matthews might be better options in the passing game as the No. 3. Veterans Troy Fumagalli and Tyler Kroft are bigger and might be better blockers.
