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

Darren Waller's expected retirement could open the door for Daniel Bellinger to become the New York Giants' No. 1 tight end in 2024 like he was as a rookie. Bellinger's receiving opportunities were limited by Waller's presence last year, but the addition of veteran blocking tight ends this offseason should allow Bellinger to be featured more as a receiver in his third season in the league. The 23-year-old former fourth-round pick in 2022 out of San Diego State has caught 55 of his 63 targets for 523 yards and two touchdowns in his two seasons with the G-Men. If Waller hangs up his cleats as things seem to be trending, Bellinger could be a decent under-the-radar TE2 target in deeper fantasy leagues this fall.

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.

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.

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.
