49ers snap counts that stand out from Week 6 vs. Browns

Sunday would’ve been a good time for the 49ers to start leaning on more multiple tight end sets. The problem this year, as it has been in the past, is that San Francisco doesn’t have TEs capable of threatening defenses as pass catchers so they’re limited in what they can do offensively from that personnel group. In a game where additional big bodies might’ve been helpful against a good Browns defensive front, backup TEs Charlie Woerner and Ross Dwelley played a combined nine snaps. Woerner had five of them, Dwelley had four. The 49ers drafted a pair of TEs this year, but third-round pick Cameron Latu is out for the season with a knee injury, and seventh-round pick Brayden Willis was a healthy scratch. This could be a significant problem for San Francisco down the stretch when they face tough defensive fronts. There are limited fixes for that, and adding TEs isn’t a tool the 49ers have in their belt to solve that problem.
