RANKS
Not seeing much time on offense
Dwelley logged eight of the Falcons' 73 snaps on offense in Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Seahawks.
ANALYSIS
Dwelley and fellow backup tight end Charlie Woerner (11 snaps) saw limited playing time behind starter Kyle Pitts (55 snaps), a trend that's likely to persist moving forward, especially when the Falcons fall into a negative game script. Though he should continue to suit up on most game days due to his blocking skills and ability to contribute on special teams, Dwelley is unlikely to draw many looks in the passing game from quarterback Kirk Cousins. Dwelley has yet to earn a target through Atlanta's first seven contests.

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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for big role Sunday
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.
