Ross Dwelley Signs Practice Squad Deal with Panthers

Tuesday, December 30, 11:07 AM

The Carolina Panthers have signed tight end Ross Dwelley to their practice squad, per ESPN's David Newton. Newton reports that Dwelley has a chance to be elevated to the active roster for Carolina's Week 18 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in light of tight end Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) suffering a season-ending ankle injury in Week 17. Dwelley appeared in 11 games for the Detroit Lions this season, recording two receptions for seven yards on five targets. He's played in 112 career NFL games across eight seasons, hauling in 47 catches for 530 yards and five touchdowns. Carolina still has tight ends Tommy Tremble, Mitchell Evans, and James Mitchell on the active roster, so Dwelley would likely fill a depth role. Tremble appears most likely to serve as the team's primary receiving tight end with Sanders sidelined.

Brenton Strange News

Brenton Strange a Safe, Young Dynasty Depth Piece

Wednesday, June 3, 5:36 AM

Jacksonville Jaguars tight end Brenton Strange missed five mid-season games in 2025 with a hip injury that landed him on injured reserve. After returning to the field in Week 12, he played the final seven games of the year on a full-season pace of 63 receptions for 816 yards and seven touchdowns, good enough to make him the fantasy TE8 over that stretch. Jacksonville boasts one of the deepest receiver groups in the league, but with at least three different players holding a reasonable claim to the team's WR1 spot in any given week, a consensus fantasy ranking within the room can hardly be agreed upon. Strange's role holds no such ambiguity, and in his 2025 games in which he played a full allotment of snaps, he saw fewer than four targets only once. While he is never going to accumulate league-winning volume, Strange provides a safe weekly floor, and with the depth chart existing as it does, he has multiple paths to an expanded role through injury to any one of the team's wideouts. At only 25 years old, Strange is RotoBaller's dynasty TE16.
