Draft note

by John Paulsen

Daniel Bellinger could surprise now that Darren Waller has decided to retire. Before last season, he was one of three tight ends who George Kittle identified as “next” at the position, but he was blocked by Waller last year.

Latest news

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger to re-gain heightened role following Darren Waller retirement

Jordan Raanan

Jun 10 · 6:28 AM EDT

Daniel Bellinger will slide back into his pre- DarrenWaller role, and it appears more will be expected from Theo Johnson and former wide receiver Lawrence Cager in the pass-catching tight end role. Johnson and Cager are among the players who have received first-team offense opportunities this spring.

Fantasy Impact:

Bellinger was having a decent rookie season in 2022 before a freak injury forced him to miss some time. He then played second-fiddle to Waller last year but looks to be in the lead for pass-catching duties ahead of '24.

This will come at the expense of rookie Theo Johnson, who is nothing more than a deep flier in Giants stacks.

NYG TE Daniel Bellinger - 2024 Fantasy Football Outlook

Fantasy Upside

Daniel Bellinger comes in as TE22 in our rankings with a projection of 45 receptions for 523 yards and a touchdown. The only real upside case here is if he becomes a red zone threat and finds the endzone a half dozen times throughout the year. An extra four or five touchdowns could push him up into the top tier of the TE2s.

Fantasy Downside

The downside here is even if he "pays off" his ADP he's probably not cracking your starting lineup in typical formats. He isn't going to put up receptions in bunches so fantasy managers will have to rely on touchdowns from an offense that nobody seems particularly high on.

2024 Bottom Line

Let Bellinger be someone else's headache. Even if you're waiting on the position, there are certainly better options outside of the deepest leagues and larger formats.
