Who Should I Start? Ross Dwelley or Dawson Knox

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.

Buffalo Bills tight end Dawson Knox could be in line for an expanded role in Week 6 with Dalton Kincaid (oblique) questionable ahead of Monday night's matchup against Atlanta. Fantasy managers rostering Kincaid should consider adding Knox as insurance, given the late-game kickoff. A proven red zone threat, Knox would likely step into a larger pass-catching role if Kincaid is ruled out. The veteran tight end posted 517 yards and six touchdowns during his last full season as the primary starter in 2022, earning a Pro Bowl nod. With the Falcons boasting the league's top-ranked pass defense, Josh Allen may lean on his tight ends in short-yardage and scoring situations--making Knox a viable streaming option if he's elevated to TE1 duties in Week 6.
