Who Should I Start? Ross Dwelley or Daniel Bellinger

Friday, May 2, 4:17 PM

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.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is a desperation-level fantasy option for the Week 6 Thursday night tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite seeing increased usage last week. Bellinger led the team in receiving yards in Week 5 with four receptions on four targets for 52 yards, earning 7.2 fantasy points while playing a 52% snap share, an elevated role due to the offense utilizing more two-tight end sets following the Malik Nabers injury. This short-term value is severely limited by a brutal matchup against the Eagles, who rank as the 4th toughest defense against tight ends, allowing an average of only 7.82 fantasy points against the position. Given the Eagles' 3rd-best red zone defense (42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate) and Bellinger's low ceiling (zero touchdowns in 2025), he remains off the fantasy radar for all but the deepest leagues.
