Daniel Bellinger Cleared From Injury Report Ahead of Week 11

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (groin) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Bellinger opened the week with limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. The 25-year-old had his highest snap share of the season in the Giants' Week 10 loss at the Chicago Bears at 72.6%, and added one catch for eight yards on two targets. Bellinger has been more involved in the offense of late, playing at least 50% of the snaps in all but one game since Week 5, totaling nine catches for 169 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. His 18.8 yards per reception during that span is the highest among tight ends with at least 50 routes run. In Weeks 1-4, he played over 30% of the snaps just once with three total receptions. Bellinger will be without rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) for this game, but backup Jameis Winston has proven capable over the years. Bellinger is only relevant as a deep league option for Week 11 against the Packers.

Daniel Bellinger Quietly Contributing To The Giants' Offense

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is showing subtle signs of increased involvement in the offense, making him a speculative play in deep fantasy leagues for Week 10 against the Chicago Bears. While Bellinger is the 35th-ranked fantasy TE, averaging just 3.86 points per game, he is benefiting from rookie QB Jaxson Dart's tight end targets and the team's increased use of two-tight end sets following major receiver injuries. Bellinger's impressive 17.6 yards per reception shows an unexpected deep-threat element that could exploit the Chicago defense's weakness, as they have allowed 20 passing touchdowns on the season. Although Chicago is an average matchup against the TE position, this vulnerable defense (28.4 points allowed per game) offers a glimmer of hope that Bellinger could score a sneaky touchdown.

Daniel Bellinger Officially Out Against 49ers

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (neck), who was listed as doubtful to play in Week 9, is officially out on Sunday against the visiting San Francisco 49ers. Bellinger suffered a neck injury in last Sunday's loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and will not suit up. His next chance to play will come next Sunday, Nov. 9, versus the Chicago Bears on the road. With the 25-year-old sitting out this weekend, Chris Manhertz will see more time on the field as a blocking TE, but he shouldn't be an option in any starting fantasy options. Theo Johnson should see more targets in the passing game as the G-Men look to get back on track after two straight losses. When healthy, Bellinger is more of a TE3 in fantasy as he shares playing time in New York with Johnson. In his eight games played in 2025, he has only 11 catches for 194 yards and a touchdown on 12 targets.

Giants' Shift to 12 Personnel Boosting Daniel Bellinger's Role

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (neck) delivered the best performance of his NFL career in Week 7, hauling in three receptions for 88 yards and a touchdown. Bellinger's production has noticeably climbed since the team turned to Jaxson Dart at quarterback and lost star wideout Malik Nabers to a Torn ACL. Since Week 4, the Giants have leaned heavily on 12 personnel (two-TE sets), ranking among the league leaders in usage. Both Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson have logged over 50% of the offensive snaps in three consecutive games, including last week, where they each played over 65%. While New York's brutal schedule has limited consistency, Bellinger's emergence is a bright spot. He'll face a tough challenge in Week 8 against the Philadelphia Eagles, who have surrendered the fourth-fewest fantasy points to tight ends this season. Bellinger isn't fantasy relevant just yet, but if this upward trend continues, he could work his way onto the fantasy radar in deeper leagues.

Daniel Bellinger Limited in Practice Wednesday

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (neck) was a limited participant in practice on Wednesday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Bellinger is coming off the best game of his season and career in Week 7 against the Broncos, catching three of his four targets for a career high 88 yards and a touchdown. It's unclear when the 25-year-old tight end picked up the injury, but his status will be monitored as the week goes along. He's become an important piece of the Giants' offense and played his highest snap share of the season last week at 68.1%. He'll rank as a low-end TE2 for Week 8 against Philadelphia if he can play.

Daniel Bellinger Catches Long Touchdown Pass in Week 7 Loss

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught three of his four targets for 88 yards and a touchdown during Sunday's Week 7 loss against the Denver Broncos. The highlight of his performance was a 44-yard trip to the end zone in the first quarter, breaking a scoreless tie. Once again, Bellinger and Theo Johnson were able to co-exist in this offense, as Johnson caught three passes for 66 yards and a score. It's the second time in the last three weeks that the duo has combined for at least seven catches in a single game. The two tight ends have seen an uptick in volume with receiver Malik Nabers (knee) done for the year, and they should continue to carve out roles for themselves going forward. Johnson has been a steadier contributor so far, but Bellinger is worthy of low-end TE2 consideration in deeper leagues. He'll take on the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8.

Daniel Bellinger Sees Increased Volume In Two-Tight End Sets

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger is a desperation-level fantasy option for the Week 6 Thursday night tilt against the Philadelphia Eagles, despite seeing increased usage last week. Bellinger led the team in receiving yards in Week 5 with four receptions on four targets for 52 yards, earning 7.2 fantasy points while playing a 52% snap share, an elevated role due to the offense utilizing more two-tight end sets following the Malik Nabers injury. This short-term value is severely limited by a brutal matchup against the Eagles, who rank as the 4th toughest defense against tight ends, allowing an average of only 7.82 fantasy points against the position. Given the Eagles' 3rd-best red zone defense (42.9% Defense Red Zone TD Rate) and Bellinger's low ceiling (zero touchdowns in 2025), he remains off the fantasy radar for all but the deepest leagues.

Daniel Bellinger Catches Two Short Passes In Loss

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught two passes for nine yards during Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Bellinger has stepped up as the Giants' primary tight end with Theo Johnson (foot) on injured reserve, but he played just 58.5 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday and hasn't been a dependable contributor despite his increased role. Moving forward, the 24-year-old will drop back down to second on the depth chart once Johnson is healthy again. He's off the radar heading into 2025 fantasy football drafts.

Daniel Bellinger Still Not Worth Starting Versus The Colts

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger hasn't had a great year. He's appeared in 15 games, catching only 12 passes for 116 yards. The 24-year-old also hasn't found the end zone since his rookie campaign. With Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, there's a good could be a few extra targets up for grabs. However, Bellinger isn't likely to be a beneficiary, and his outlook is even worse with Drew Lock under center.

Daniel Bellinger Makes His Third Start In Week 16

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger heads into Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons looking to build on steady production as the team's lone starting tight end since Theo Johnson's season-ending injury. Over the past two games, Bellinger has tallied eight receptions on 10 targets for 80 yards, averaging 10 yards per catch but has yet to find the end zone. The Falcons' defense has been tough on tight ends recently, ranking 4th in fewest fantasy points allowed to the position over the past four weeks. However, Atlanta's overall struggles against the pass (225.9 yards allowed per game, 27 passing touchdowns surrendered) leave a glimmer of upside for Bellinger, giving the Giants hope in favorable game scripts.
