Who Should I Start? Jonnu Smith or Ross Dwelley

Pittsburgh Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith did not catch either of his two targets in a Week 11 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals. Smith has not had a worthwhile fantasy showing since Week 7, when he last found the end zone. It has been an incredibly disappointing season for the 30-year-old, who was expected to be heavily involved in Pittsburgh's offense after the team traded for him in the offseason. While Smith still has more fantasy points than teammate Darnell Washington, the latter has impressed in recent weeks and could earn a more consistent role moving forward. Smith should still be rostered in dynasty formats, but fantasy managers should look elsewhere for tight end production in all redraft leagues.

The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a one-year contract with former Atlanta Falcons tight end Ross Dwelley. ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, but did not disclose the monetary details. The 30-year-old spent his first seven campaigns in the league with San Francisco and will return after a one-year stint with the Falcons. Dwelley appeared in all 17 games last season, but he played only 105 snaps (9.19%) -- snagging his only target for a gain of five yards. He did most of his damage -- snap-wise -- on special teams, but was still only on the field roughly a third of the time (37.22% of snaps). It's possible the 49ers brought him on due to his familiarity with their system, but he doesn't project to make an impact in the receiving column. He'll serve as a depth piece for the organization.
