San Francisco 49ers TE Vance McDonald is not projected to start by beat writer Grant Cohn, citing the fact TE Garrett Celek is better at catching passes in traffic. FB/TE Bruce Miller is also in the mix, and expected to be ahead of McDonald as the 'move' tight end.

Fantasy Tip: McDonald is still expected to have a sizable role in the San Francisco offense, and a beat writer's projections shouldn't be considered gospel. Still, beat writers usually have a good handle on the pulse of a team and McDonald is apparently not standing out early in training camp as the top guy at the position which is bad for his fantasy outlook.

San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller is learning the nuances of the tight end position, but he has good hands and can also help out on special teams. He might be used the No. 3 tight end behind TEs Garrett Celek and Vance McDonald.

San Francisco 49ers TE Bruce Miller has been lining up at tight end and receiver at times, head coach Chip Kelly said. Miller said he has lost some weight for his new role and has been studying Dallas Cowboys TE Jason Witten to improve his route running.

Fantasy Tip: It sounds like the 49ers are planning on including Miller in the offense to some degree, but it remains to be seen if he can provide fantasy-relevant numbers. Leave him on the waiver wire for now.

San Francisco 49ers FB Bruce Miller has switched exclusively to tight end this offseason after running backs coach Tom Rathman informed Miller that he no longer had room for another back.

Fantasy Tip: Miller gives the 49ers versatility as he can play running back, fullback and tight end, but it looks like he'll primarily be in the tight end role this season. Garrett Celek and Vance McDonald at least should play ahead of Miller at tight end as long as they are healthy, so Miller's fantasy value is minimal right now.
