2024 RTSports Outlook

Bellinger found his way into the starting lineup his rookie season and had a few good games. He had 30 receptions for 268 yards and two touchdowns. Bellinger had two games with double-digit fantasy points but didn't hit that total after Week 6. Bellinger was looking pretty good for this season until the Giants traded for Darren Waller. Bellinger moves into the backup tight end role with Waller on the team. Bellinger is a pretty good two-way tight end. He catches the ball well and has good size for the position. Bellinger is a solid route runner for a young player and a willing blocker.

FANTASY OUTLOOK: Bellinger looked a lot better without Waller on the roster. But as long as Waller is around, Bellinger has little fantasy value. The Giants will use a lot of two tight-end sets, so Bellinger will find the field. Just don't expect consistent production in his current role. He can get around 35 receptions for 350 yards and a few touchdowns.

Player Notes
Dec 30 11:20am ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger tallied four catches for 43 yards against the Philadelphia Eagles last week, but it's highly unlikely he'll replicate those numbers against the Los Angeles Rams. Both of those were season-high marks and the second-year professional sits behind Darren Waller on the tight end depth chart. The Giants' offense ranks second to last in points per game (14.3) and doesn't have much consistency at the quarterback position. Bellinger doesn't belong on rosters in any format, except deep dynasty leagues.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger has been a mainstay in the starting lineup with Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve. The second-year tight end caught 12 passes for 138 yards in five games without New York's prized offseason addition. Waller is expected to make his return to the starting lineup on Sunday. If he does, however, he's not expected to play his regular allotment of snaps. Bellinger may see a few more opportunities for one more week, but his window as the TE1 in New York is shutting. Regardless, he didn't make the most of his chance, at least in the fantasy football realm, and shouldn't be rostered outside of dynasty formats.

Dec 11 7:30pm ET

New York Giants wide receiver Parris Campbell (knee) is officially inactive on Monday night with the team getting set to face the Green Bay Packers. Campbell injured his knee late last week at practice and was considered questionable to play in Week 14. Meanwhile, tight end Daniel Bellinger, who was also listed as questionable due to an illness, will play. Campbell's absence doesn't really move the needle at all in fantasy, as he has only 20 receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns in 12 games in his first year in New York in 2023. Gunner Olszewski should serve as the team's kick returner with the 26-year-old sidelined for the first time all year. Bellinger isn't very attractive as a TE streamer, either, catching nine passes for 123 yards and no scores with Darren Waller (hamstring) out.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (illness) is questionable for Monday Night Football against the Green Bay Packers with an illness. Bellinger has missed two straight practices with the illness but he still has a chance to suit up for MNF in Week 14 because he'll get an extra day of rest to get healthy. The second-year tight end has just 13 catches on the season so his potential absence or presence has very little fantasy impact.

Dec 9 12:30am ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (illness) didn't practice on Friday. He's under the weather, so Saturday's practice session could tell a lot about his availability for Monday night's showdown with the Packers. Unfortunately, the 23-year-old hasn't played well all season, catching three passes or less in all his appearances. He also hasn't found the end zone. With this in mind, Bellinger should be left out of fantasy lineups even if he is active in Week 14.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is slated to be the featured tight end for the fourth straight week due to the absence of Darren Waller (hamstring). Unfortunately, his production hasn't matched that of a starting tight end. The sophomore has drawn just three targets in all three games, totaling eight catches for 115 yards. That would be a great stat line for one game. It isn't even on the fantasy football radar when spread across three games. It remains to be seen if Waller will return from injured reserve following the New York bye week. Regardless, Bellinger does not need to be added or started on fantasy football rosters.

Nov 19 9:10pm ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught all three of his targets for 38 yards in the team's 31-19 win over the Washington Commanders. The stat line is becoming the norm for Bellinger while Darren Waller (hamstring) sits on injured reserve. He's logged three targets in every game that the starter has missed. While consistent, the numbers aren't flashy at all, and Bellinger won't be a hot commodity at the position anytime soon. The Giants host the New England Patriots in Week 12 and Bellinger will get at least one more shot at being the starter. Waller is eligible to come off of injured reserve after New York's bye week, but it remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to do so.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is coming off of a game where he led the team in receiving yards, but the total didn't send fantasy managers running to the waiver wire to pick him up. Bellinger caught just two passes for 34 yards. The Giants' aerial offense continued their abysmal play against Dallas. The opportunity for improvement is there against the Commanders, who allow the fourth-most passing yards per game. However, there is still no trust in any pass-catching option in the New York offense as long as undrafted rookie Tommy Devito is under center. Bellinger will continue to start in place of Darren Waller (hamstring) but he can remain on the waiver wire across all formats.

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught two passes for 34 yards in the team's 49-17 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. A 26-yard snag late in the fourth quarter pushed his numbers to the top of the Giants' box score. All New York receiving options totaled just 86 yards. The entire passing attack is inept with undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center. Bellinger will have at least two more opportunities to start with Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve. However, there's no reason to roster the sophomore with the struggles from DeVito and the rest of the passing game.

Nov 10 5:10pm ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger will log another start in Week 10 against the Dallas Cowboys with Darren Waller (hamstring) on injured reserve. The second-year pro set his season-high marks in catches (3) and yards (43) against the Raiders in Week 9. A similar output may be on the docket this Sunday. Bellinger isn't a dynamic threat in the receiving game and will have undrafted rookie Tommy Devito under center. Bellinger is just a desperation option at the tight end position for Week 10.

Nov 6 9:40am ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught three passes for 43 yards in the team's 30-6 blowout loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. Two of his receptions came with Tommy Devito under center. The undrafted rookie was thrust into action again when Daniel Jones (knee) suffered a potential season-ending knee injury. He led the Giants on their only touchdown drive of the game but also threw two interceptions and got sacked six times. Without an experienced quarterback, no pass catchers on the Giants can be trusted. Bellinger can remain on waiver wires across all redraft formats.

Nov 4 10:20am ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is in line to start Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders due to the injury to starter Darren Waller (hamstring). It's familiar territory for Bellinger, who served as the starter for the majority of last season. When the team acquired Waller in the offseason, the sophomore was shown the back seat. Fantasy managers can't rely on Bellinger to completely replace Waller's production. Last season, he averaged just 2.5 catches for 22 yards per game. Bellinger isn't worth rostering in redraft leagues.

From RotoBaller

Nov 3 9:50am ET

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger figures to get the starting nod at tight end for the Week 9 matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders. Fellow tight end Darren Waller (hamstring) is expected to miss multiple weeks due to injury. That means, Bellinger should see an expanded role in the offense. Bellinger was a starter throughout most of last season, but took a backseat to Waller once he arrived. The 23-year-old only has four receptions for 22 yards this season, but that was as the primary backup. Fantasy managers shouldn't be jumping to start Bellinger this week, but keep an eye on him in case he does get increased snaps.
