Who Should I Start? Ross Dwelley or Tommy Tremble

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.

Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble is currently in line to make another start in Week 5 against the Miami Dolphins The Panthers will be without Ja'Tavion Sanders (ankle) again this weekend, so Tremble will be asked to make another start. Last week, Tremble hauled in five of his eight targets for 42 yards and a touchdown in the loss. The 25-year-old saw 75 percent of the offensive snaps. This was a nice performance from Tremble, but it's unclear if he can do it again. It's worth noting that wide receiver Xavier Legette (hamstring) is back in the mix after a two-game absence. It's tough to imagine Tremble getting eight targets again, but there should still be TE2 value here.
