Dwelley signed a one-year contract to return to the 49ers on Monday.
Analysis: Dwelley wasn't particularly involved in San Francisco's offensive scheme in 2021, as he logged only 185 snaps with the unit. However, he remained a key part of the special-teams group. He should maintain the latter role, but he could also move up the tight end depth chart if either George Kittle or Charlie Woerner suffers an injury.
Ross Dwelley Finishes year as third TE
Dwelley had four receptions for 51 yards and a touchdown across 17 games during the 2021 regular season.
Analysis: Dwelley was usurped by Charlie Woerner as the primary backup behind George Kittle, resulting in barely any usage offensively. The 26-year-old will be an unrestricted free agent this upcoming offseason, but he is unlikely to land anywhere that provides fantasy value in 2022.
