2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dwelley returns to San Francisco for his seventh season with the club following a one-year hiatus with Atlanta in 2024. The veteran tight end didn't see his role expand with the Falcons after generating just one reception for five yards across 17 games. Dwelley and fellow free-agent signing Luke Farrell are the frontrunners to occupy the backup roles behind star TE George Kittle this year. Read Past Outlooks
One catch in victory
Dwelley caught his only target for four yards in Thursday night's 44-30 win over Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Dwelley was limited to just one catch for the second week in a row while operating as the team's starting tight end with both Sam LaPorta (back) and Brock Wright (neck) on injured reserve. Dwelley doesn't present as an appealing fantasy option moving forward outside of the deepest formats.

Dwelley's expected to work as Detroit's top tight end against the Packers on Thanksgiving Day, as Colton Pouncy of The Athletic reports that Brock Wright has been ruled out due to a neck injury.
ANALYSIS
Sam LaPorta is on injured reserve due to a back injury, and with Wright joining him on the sidelines Thursday, Dwelley's next in line to occupy the top spot on the depth chart.
