  • Falls to second on depth chart

    Dwelley had one reception (two targets) for five yards in Sunday's 30-18 loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Charlie Woerner (30 snaps) officially got the start for the first time this season, but Dwelley stuck around as "co-starter" with 27 offensive snaps logged (48 percent). The former is the more athletic option -- as evidenced by his greater production with the same amount of targets -- but neither is really a fantasy option at this point. The tight end duo will fill in for George Kittle (calf) for at least one more game while the star mends on IR.

  • Catches both targets

    Dwelley caught two of two targets for 25 yards against Arizona on Sunday.

    Analysis: Dwelley wasn't anywhere near as prominent in the passing game as the injured George Kittle (calf) typically is, but there's nothing surprising about that. Kittle can't be imitated, of course, and Dwelley had only one target in 2021 before drawing two Sunday. He'll need to play more as long as Kittle is out, but he likely has fantasy appeal only in deep fantasy formats.

  • Added opportunities with Kittle on IR

    With George Kittle (calf) having landed on IR, Dwelley is in line to head the 49ers' tight end corps for the team's next three games.

    Analysis: Kittle is reportedly likely to return from IR when he's eligible, but for the 49ers' next three games, Dwelley is in line to see added snaps and targets, with Charlie Woerner and Tanner Hudson in the mix on that front as well. Though Dwelley can't be expected to approach Kittle's level of production, he's nonetheless an option for those scrambling for fantasy tight end depth for the next few weeks.

  • Likely to start for Kittle

    Dwelley is expected to start at tight end and see an uptick in snaps Sunday against the Cardinals with George Kittle (calf) listed as doubtful for the game.

    Analysis: Kittle has been sidelined for only a handful of plays through the 49ers' first four games, leaving few reps left over for Dwelley and Charlie Woerner, the two reserve options at tight end. Neither player can come close to matching Kittle's impact as a pass catcher, but Dwelley projects as the more fantasy friendly option of the two, given that he's drawn 25 targets in 20 games over the past season and change compared to just four for Woerner. Dwelley, who turned his lone target of 2021 into a…read more

  • First catch goes for a score

    Dwelley caught his lone target for a 21-yard touchdown in Sunday's 28-21 loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Dwelley got the scoring going on a seam route where he boxed out his assignment and corralled the pass for a touchdown. It was the backup tight end's first catch (and target) through four games, which emphasizes his role -- or lack thereof -- on offense while George Kittle is active.

  • Inks extension

    Dwelley signed a one-year extension with San Francisco on Friday.

    Analysis: Following three solid seasons in San Francisco to start his career, Dwelley has demonstrated enough to earn an extension. The 26-year-old filled the No. 2 tight end role behind George Kittle in 2020 and played significant snaps during the latter's eight absences, catching 19 of his 24 targets for 245 yards and a touchdown.

  • Sees limited action as backup

    Dwelley finished with 19 receptions for 245 yards and a touchdown with the 49ers in 2020.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old began the year third on the depth chart behind star tight end George Kittle and newly acquired veteran Jordan Reed. Dwelley still saw an increase in both playing time (500 offensive snaps) and production after the rest of the tight end room dealt with injuries at various points during the season. Kittle is here to stay and Reed will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, so the 49ers' decision regarding the latter will impact whether or not Dwelley will be…read more

  • Racks up 28 yards vs. Dallas

    Dwelley caught both of his targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 41-33 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Dwelley continues to start games for San Francisco while George Kittle (foot) remains on IR. The 25-year-old logged 46 offensive snaps (55 percent) compared to backup tight end Jordan Reed's 42 (50 percent), but the latter saw three extra targets and caught a touchdown pass. Reed is the more desirable fantasy asset due to his superior receiving capabilities, but neither is a must-start in standard fantasy formats heading into a Week 16 matchup with the Cardinals.

  • Two catches in loss

    Dwelley secured both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 23-15 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Dwelley started and logged 36 offensive snaps (44 percent) compared to co-starter Jordan Reed's 33 snaps (41 percent). The 25-year-old finished with the most receiving yards of his position group for the first time since Week 9, highlighting his preferred usage as a blocker. Dwelley should continue to start in place of George Kittle, who remains sidelined with a foot injury, but Reed has the higher fantasy upside heading into Sunday's contest with the Cowboys.

  • Secures both targets

    Dwelley caught both his targets for 29 yards during Monday's 34-24 loss to the Bills.

    Analysis: Dwelley has played at least 50 percent of the offensive snaps in each of the past five games, and he has eight catches for 122 yards and one touchdown during that stretch. The 25-year-old should continue to see consistent playing time down the stretch, though Jordan Reed is clearly the preferred tight end in the passing game.

  • Starts, but limited to one catch

    Dwelley had one reception (two targets) for 22 yards in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Dwelley got another start in George Kittle's (foot) extended absence, but he was primarily used as a blocker while fellow tight end Jordan Reed (five receptions for 62 yards) ran more routes despite playing six fewer snaps. The target share between the teammates makes sense given their differing skill sets. Dwelley will continue to technically start for however long Kittle is sidelined, but Reed appears to be the tight end to chase fantasy points with on this club following the upcoming bye…read more

  • Solid performance in loss

    Dwelley secured all three targets for 52 yards in the 49ers' 34-17 loss to the Packers on Thursday night. He also returned one kickoff for 20 yards.

    Analysis: With George Kittle (foot) out, Dwelley served as the primary tight end even with Jordan Reed (knee) also being activated from injured reserve for the contest. The third-year tight end finished a distant second in receptions and receiving yards to Richie James, who exploded for a career-best 9-184-1 line. Kittle could well be out for the remainder of the regular season, so Dwelley could retain a solid role in a Week 10 battle against the Saints on Sunday, Nov. 15 while sharing snaps with Reed.

  • Playing time opens up

    Dwelley could have an increased role in the offense with George Kittle (foot) expected to be out for eight weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Kittle suffered a broken bone in his foot during Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and could be out for the rest of the season. After Kittle's exit, Dwelley caught a 16-yard touchdown, and he also had five catches for 54 yards during Kittle's two-game absence earlier this year. However, Jordan Reed (knee) worked as the primary tight end before going down with his own injury. Reed is back at practice and could be on the field for Week 9, but if he's not ready to go Dwelley should operate as San…read more

  • Four catches in Week 3 win

    Dwelley secured all four targets for 49 yards in the 49ers' 36-9 win over the Giants on Sunday.

    Analysis: The third-year tight end saw some extra opportunity with Jordan Reed (knee/ankle) leaving the game on two separate occasions, the second time for good in the second half. George Kittle (knee) is likely to return for a Week 4 Sunday night matchup against the Eagles, but Dwelley could operate as his primary backup if Reed remains sidelined.

  • Corrals one pass Sunday

    Dwelley caught his lone target for five yards in Sunday's 31-13 win over the Jets.

    Analysis: Although Jordan Reed dominated the production in George Kittle's (knee) stead, Dwelley recorded a 64 percent snap share Sunday. Dwelley's fantasy impact is nonexistent as long as Reed is around, but he could have another decent workload on tap Sunday versus the Giants if Kittle sits out.

  • Back at practice

    Dwelley (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dwelley was dealing with a minor foot injury sustained earlier in camp, but he was practicing without limitations Thursday. After serving as George Kittle's primary backup last season, the 25-year-old will have to compete with veteran Jordan Reed and rookie Charlie Woerner for snaps behind the starter in 2020.

  • Labeled day-to-day

    Dwelley (foot) is considered day-to-day, David Lombardi of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers are also currently without top tight end George Kittle (hamstring) at practices, leaving Jordan Reed as the de facto top option for reps. When healthy, Dwelley stands to compete with Reed for leftover snaps behind Kittle. The 25-year-old primarily operates as a run blocker.

  • Out Saturday

    Dwelley did not participate in Saturday's practice due to a foot injury, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 49ers were also without Jordan Reed for at least the portion of practice open to the media, although a lack of a specific injury designation might just mean a day of rest for the veteran. Dwelley is expected to compete with Reed for time in two tight-end sets alongside George Kittle.

  • Role uncertain in 2020

    It's unclear how Dwelley will be used with the signing of Jordan Reed this offseason.

    Analysis: Dwelley proved effective as both a blocker and backup tight end behind George Kittle in 2019, finishing with 91 yards and two scores on 15 receptions. The signing of Reed complicates the 25-year-old's role heading into the 2020 campaign. Dwelley is a superior run blocker, which could keep him on the field in certain heavy packages, but if Reed can stay on the field (a big "if"), then Dwelley will see his already low target share reduced even further.

  • Officially back with 49ers

    Dwelley inked his one-year contract offer from San Francisco on Tuesday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The 25-year-old was tendered by the team earlier this month and has now officially signed his deal. Dwelley is expected to handle the No. 2 tight end role behind Pro Bowler George Kittle in 2020.

  • Sticking in Bay Area

    The 49ers tendered Dwelley to a one-year contract Thursday, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Dwelley was a solid contributor as the team's backup tight end in 2019, hauling in 15 of 22 targets for 91 yards and two scores. The 25-year-old performed admirably behind No. 1 tight end George Kittle last season, especially when Kittle missed two games due to injury, and Dwelley is expected to assume a similar role in 2020.

  • Two scores in limited role

    Dwelley finished with 15 receptions (22 targets) for 91 yards and two touchdowns in 2019.

    Analysis: Dwelley won the backup tight end job out of training camp, and he was able to find the end zone twice while filling in for starter George Kittle. The latter gets banged up frequently, but also has a high tolerance for pain and has missed the minimum amount of games through is impressive three-year career, leaving scraps for other tight ends on the roster when active. The 49ers have exclusive rights to Dwelley this upcoming offseason, and it would be surprising if they passed up on the…read more

  • Big play on lone reception

    Dwelley caught his only target for 25 yards in Saturday's 34-31 win over the Rams.

    Analysis: Jimmy Garoppolo connected with Dwelley for a big gain in the fourth quarter to extend a drive that ultimately led to a touchdown pass to starting tight end George Kittle. It was the only offensive action Dwelley would receive, and he was only on the field for two offensive snaps. Both he and fellow backup tight end, Levine Toilolo, combined for just 10 snaps on offense, and neither carries fantasy value while Kittle is healthy and terrorizing opposing defenses.

  • Quickly falls out of favor

    Dwelley did not receive a target in Sunday's 37-8 win over Green Bay.

    Analysis: Fresh off a two-touchdown performance, Dwelley not only took a back seat to returning starter George Kittle (knee/ankle), but he also finished well behind Garrett Celek in terms of offensive snaps. The 24-year-old will maintain a non-fantasy role so long as Kittle is healthy for Week 13's tilt against Baltimore.

  • Grabs two short TDs in comeback win

    Dwelley caught four of five targets for 14 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 36-26 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Getting another start in place of George Kittle (knee), Dwelley took advantage of a matchup with the weakest defense in the league against tight ends and caught TD passes of four and five yards -- the first two of Jimmy Garoppolo's four touchdowns on the day. While he isn't the downfield threat Kittle is, Dwelley is proving he can be a useful short-yardage and red-zone threat, but his snap count and target volume in Week 12 against the Packers will depend entirely on Kittle's health.

  • Likely to replace Kittle again

    Dwelley could be in line for significant snaps in Sunday's game against the Cardinals with George Kittle (knee/ankle) listed as doubtful for the contest.

    Analysis: Dwelley filled in for Kittle in Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle, catching three of seven targets for 24 yards while playing 92 percent of the offensive snaps. The Niners could give some of that playing time to Garrett Celek or Levine Toilolo in Week 11, but Dwelley remains the better bet to draw targets.

  • Makes three grabs

    Dwelley caught three of seven targets for 24 yards in Monday night's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks.

    Analysis: Dwelley started at tight end with Pro Bowler George Kittle (knee/ankle) sidelined. Although he unsurprisingly couldn't come close to Kittle's production, Dwelley still drew seven targets, finishing third on the team in the category. With back-to-back games with at least three grabs, Dwelley could be in store for similar production should Kittle sit again versus the Cardinals in Week 11, making his status worthwhile to monitor prior to kickoff.

  • Starting role on tap

    Dwelley should see the lion's share of snaps Monday against Seattle with starting tight end George Kittle (knee/ankle) listed as doubtful.

    Analysis: Dwelley played 70 percent of offensive snaps in last week's win over the Cardinals -- a game in which Kittle was banged up but still toughed out 69 percent of snaps. With Kittle likely sitting this one out, Dwelley should see the field even more and has a chance to match or surpass his four-catch output from Week 9.

  • Largest usage this season

    Dwelley caught four passes (four targets) for 29 yards in Thursday's 28-25 win over the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Dwelley was on the field for 70 percent of the team's offensive snaps, which was due in large part to George Kittle suffering a knee injury early on, limiting the starter to a season-low 69 percent of offensive snaps. The latter was able to play through the injury, and an MRI on Friday revealed that there was no structural damage, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Even with the career-best game Thursday, Dwelley would need Kittle to completely miss a contest before gaining fantasy…read more
