2025 Fantasy Outlook
Bellinger had a golden opportunity to carve out a prominent role as a pass catcher in 2024 after Darren Waller retired, but 2024 fourth-round pick Theo Johnson quickly surpassed Bellinger as the Giants’ top receiving tight end. Johnson underwent Lisfranc surgery in December but projects to lead Big Blue’s TE room once he recovers, leaving Bellinger to focus primarily on blocking. Bellinger’s receiving yardage has declined in each of his three NFL seasons, from 268 as a rookie in 2022 to 255 in 2023 and 125 in 2024. He hasn’t scored a TD or missed a game over the past two seasons after finding the end zone twice in 12 games as a rookie. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $4.45 million contract with the Giants in July of 2022.
Can't build upon season-best effort
Bellinger didn't get any targets in Thursday's 34-17 Week 6 win over the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
In a Week 5 loss to New Orleans, Bellinger broke out with a season-high and team-leading 52 receiving yards on four catches. That led to an expectation that he would be significantly involved on offense Week 6 with New York depleted at the wideout position, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, but things didn't shake out that way. While Bellinger did log a healthy 57 percent snap share, he never had a pass thrown his way during a game in which New York leaned heavily on its ground game. Meanwhile, No. 1 tight end Theo Johnson caught two of four targets for 27 yards and logged a 90 percent snap share. Though Bellinger has caught every one of his targets so far this season, that's resulted in a very modest 7-85-0 receiving line through six contests.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2022
Bellinger has started 24 games across his first two NFL seasons, but he failed to step up when Darren Waller missed five games due to a hamstring injury in 2023. Despite appearing in all 17 games after missing five as a rookie himself, Bellinger saw his yardage total drop from 268 to 255 and failed to find the end zone in his second season after scoring twice in 2022. Waller announced his retirement in June, but the Giants added tight end Theo Johnson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, giving Bellinger new competition for snaps and targets. While Bellinger is the favorite to make the Week 1 start, Johnson is faster and more athletic and thus more likely to have fantasy utility if he does earn considerable playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competing for starting job
Bellinger is set to compete with rookie Theo Johnson for the top spot on the tight end depth chart, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Darren Waller has informed the Giants that he is planning to retire.
ANALYSIS
Bellinger backed up Waller in 2023 when the veteran starter wasn't sidelined by a hamstring injury. With Waller hanging up his cleats, Bellinger and Johnson are the top remaining options at tight end for the Giants, so both likely will receive significant playing time in 2024. Bellinger and Johnson are both fourth-round draft picks, with Bellinger being picked in 2022 and Johnson in 2024.
