Daniel Bellinger

Week 12 vs. New England Patriots

Daniel Bellinger caught three balls for 38 yards last week. He’s been right around those numbers three weeks in a row since Darren Waller started missing games, so it feels like that’s about what you can expect from the second-year player out of San Diego State. Bellinger flashes potential at times, but until this offense consistently looks like it can move the ball and put up points - though they were solid against Washington last week - it’s hard to trust him in lineups. He’s a risky, low-end TE2 option at best this week against the Patriots.

Week 10 at Dallas Cowboys

Daniel Bellinger had three catches for 43 yards last week against the Raiders. He’s an interesting option with Darren Waller shelved for at least the foreseeable future, but the Giants are down two quarterbacks and very unlikely to deliver big fantasy points in the passing game. Dallas does rank 21st in aFPA to opposing tight ends, but Bellinger in this offense is too risky for most fantasy lineups.

Week 1 vs. Dallas Cowboys

Daniel Bellinger showed flashes last season, including two touchdowns in five games in the early part of the year. He struggled with injuries, but has the potential to be a quality receiving option at the tight end position.

This week, he has some deep streaming upside if Darren Waller misses the contest with a hamstring injury that has left him questionable heading into the weekend. If Waller plays, Bellinger isn't worth rostering, but managers expecting to start Waller should add Bellinger as insurance.
