2023 Fantasy Outlook
Dwelley re-signed in San Francisco after proving to be a reliable backup tight end through his first five years with the team. The 28-year-old filled in for George Kittle briefly last season, recording three receptions for 105 yards and a touchdown. With the drafting of Cameron Latu in this year's draft, Dwelley will have to fight for his usual backup role in 2023. Read Past Outlooks

The 49ers placed Dwelley (ankle) to the injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Dwelley sustained a high-ankle sprain in Week 13 against the Eagles. He hasn't managed to suit up since, and with his placement on IR, his season is officially over since the 49ers have a max of four games left. Dwelley had one catch on two targets for 12 yards over 12 games this season, operating mostly as a pass-blocking tight end and special-teams player.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for big role Sunday
TESan Francisco 49ers
November 16, 2019
Dwelley is expected to get the start again Sunday with George Kittle listed as doubtful due to knee and ankle injuries.
ANALYSIS
Dwelley started in place of Kittle last week and saw 80 snaps on offense but didn't make much impact as a receiver, catching three of seven targets for 24 yards. Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals -- by far the worst defense in the league against tight ends in 2019 -- gives the second-year player his best chance yet to show what he can do, however.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2021
2020
2019
Dwelley took a back seat in 2020 after the team signed veteran tight end Jordan Reed to back up George Kittle. The third-year pro finished with 245 yards and a touchdown on 19 receptions while filling in for injured veterans. Dwelley was given a one-year extension to serve as Kittle's backup this year - following Reed's retirement - but he won't have much fantasy value unless the former goes down with an injury again.
Dwelley had a solid 2019 season backing up George Kittle, finishing with 15 receptions for 91 yards and a pair of touchdowns in 16 games. The 25-year-old's role may take a hit with the offseason signing of the talented, but oft-injured, Jordan Reed. Dwelley's superior run blocking could keep him on the field in certain heavy packages, but a healthy Reed will certainly keep the former's targets to a minimum in 2020.
Dwelley was barely a factor in his rookie season, seeing just 39 offensive snaps and catching two passes for 14 yards. 2019 is shaping up to be a different story. The 24-year-old has stood out in camp, putting himself in position to make the team as its third tight end. With current backup Garrett Celek dealing with an injury, Dwelley has a ceiling of second on the depth chart to begin the year.
