2025 Fantasy Outlook
Dwelley returns to San Francisco for his seventh season with the club following a one-year hiatus with Atlanta in 2024. The veteran tight end didn't see his role expand with the Falcons after generating just one reception for five yards across 17 games. Dwelley and fellow free-agent signing Luke Farrell are the frontrunners to occupy the backup roles behind star TE George Kittle this year. Read Past Outlooks
Signed by the Lions in September of 2025.
Inked to Detroit's active roster
The Lions signed Dwelley from the practice squad to the active roster Wednesday, Benjamin Raven of MLive Media Group reports..
ANALYSIS
Dwelley signed with the Lions' practice squad Sept. 16 after the Lions placed fellow tight end Shane Zylstra (ankle) on injured reserve. Dwelley was elevated for the Lions' Week 3 win over the Ravens on Monday, when he played 16 snaps (12 on special teams, four on offense) without otherwise appearing on the box score. Now that he's on the active roster, Dwelley will continue to serve on special teams while operating as the Lions' No. 3 tight end behind Sam LaPorta and Brock Wright.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Set for big role Sunday
Dwelley is expected to get the start again Sunday with George Kittle listed as doubtful due to knee and ankle injuries.
ANALYSIS
Dwelley started in place of Kittle last week and saw 80 snaps on offense but didn't make much impact as a receiver, catching three of seven targets for 24 yards. Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals -- by far the worst defense in the league against tight ends in 2019 -- gives the second-year player his best chance yet to show what he can do, however.
