Daniel Bellinger - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Blanks in Week 16 Bellinger played 22 of the Giants' 48 offensive snaps but wasn't targeted during Sunday's 16-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact The fourth-year pro has now gone without a reception in four of the Giants' last five games, suggesting that he's firmly behind Theo Johnson on the team's depth chart. In 14 appearances this season, Bellinger has caught 15 of 21 targets for 237 yards and one touchdown. He's expected to remain a depth option in the Giants' tight-end corps in the Week 17 matchup against the Raiders.

Nets uptick in production Week 15 Bellinger finished Sunday's loss to the Commanders with three catches for 35 yards on four targets.

Impact Bellinger and No. 1 tight end Theo Johnson had the same amount of targets (four) and catches (three), though Johnson more than doubled Bellinger's yardage with a team-leading 72. Coming into Sunday, Bellinger had gone three games without a reception and had combined for just two catches for 29 yards over his previous five contests. Ironically, the fourth-year tight end's increase in production against Washington came on a day when he posted his lowest offensive snap share (26 percent) since Week 3. Given his recent lack of production and clear backup role behind Johnson, Bellinger's improved stat line Sunday doesn't need to put him on the fantasy radar in most formats.

Catchless again Week 12 Bellinger did not catch either of his two targets in Sunday's loss to the Lions.

Impact Bellinger saw a relatively large 62 percent offensive snap share, but he finished without a reception for the second straight week. Meanwhile, top TE Theo Johnson finished second on the team with 77 receiving yards on three catches and has now reached the 75-yard mark in two of his past three games. With Johnson building momentum, it seems likely that Bellinger will continue to have a minimal role in the passing attack moving forward.

Quiet in loss Sunday Bellinger didn't catch his only target in a Week 11 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact The Giants had a different look on offense Sunday with Mike Kafka taking over on an interim basis for former head coach Brian Daboll and with Jameis Winston stepping in at quarterback for the injured Jaxson Dart (concussion). Bellinger also dealt with a groin injury during the week, which may have also impacted his output Sunday. Ultimately, the fourth-year tight end finished without a catch for the third time through 10 contests on the campaign while logging a 47 percent offensive snap share. Theo Johnson remains the clear No. 1 tight end for the Giants, so Bellinger isn't a viable fantasy asset even when Dart is healthy.

Cleared to face Packers Bellinger (groin) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Bellinger practiced without limitations Friday after being limited Wednesday and Thursday. He's expected to occupy his usual role, focusing primarily on blocking while Theo Johnson runs more routes for a Giants offense that's switching to Jameis Winston under center.

NOVEMBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Bellinger (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger has logged back-to-back limited practice sessions to kick off Week 11 prep, so unless he's able to upgrade to full reps Friday, he'll be at risk of carrying an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers. If Bellinger isn't able to suit up versus Green Bay, Theo Johnson will figure to benefit from a slight increase in target share as Jameis Winston makes his first start at quarterback for New York.

NOVEMBER 13 • ROTOWIRE

Limited by groin issue Bellinger (groin) practiced in a limited capacity Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger has been targeted in seven of nine appearances this season en route to a modest 12-202-1 line on 14 targets. He missed Week 9 due to a neck injury and now is tending to a new health concern. Bellinger's status thus is one to monitor as the week proceeds to get a sense of his potential to play Sunday against the Packers.

NOVEMBER 12 • ROTOWIRE

Makes one catch in Week 10 loss Bellinger caught one of two targets for eight yards in a loss to the Bears on Sunday.

Impact With New York's wideout corps behind Wan'Dale Robinson and Darius Slayton struggling to produce, the Giants went tight-end heavy throughout much of Sunday's matchup. Top TE Theo Johnson was on the field for all but two of New York's offensive snaps, while Bellinger logged a hearty 73 percent snap share. However, whereas Johnson shined with seven catches on eight targets for 75 yards, Bellinger was largely ignored as a pass catcher, recording just one reception for eight yards. Johnson has drawn at least four targets in seven straight contests while Bellinger has reached that target share just twice during that same span, so there's no debate about which of the pair is the preferred option in the Giants' passing game (and in fantasy).

Full practice Wednesday Bellinger (neck) practiced fully Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger dealt with a neck injury during Week 8 prep, and while he was cleared to face the Eagles that week, he left that game due to a neck concern. He proceeded to miss every practice last week before being inactive this past Sunday against the 49ers. Now with a full session under his belt, Bellinger appears on pace to return to action Sunday at Chicago.

Inactive in Week 9 Bellinger (neck) is listed as inactive Sunday versus the 49ers, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger injured his neck last Sunday at Philadelphia, and he then didn't practice all week before the Giants listed him as doubtful to suit up Week 9. Now that Bellinger officially isn't playing, Theo Johnson should dominate TE reps for New York, but Chris Manhertz and Thomas Fidone also will be available for snaps and the occasional target. Bellinger's next chance for game action is next Sunday's contest in Chicago.

NOVEMBER 2 • ROTOWIRE

Doubtful for Week 9 Bellinger (neck) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the 49ers, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

Impact Bellinger suffered the neck injury in last Sunday's loss to the Eagles. With Bellinger unlikely to face San Francisco, Chris Manhertz should handle most of the blocking duties alongside Theo Johnson at tight end.

Missing another practice Bellinger (neck) didn't participate in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact With a pair of absences from practice to begin game Week 9 prep, Bellinger looks to be in danger of missing Sunday's against the 49ers. If Bellinger is unable to play this weekend, Chris Manhertz (illness) and Thomas Fidone would be the available depth options at tight end behind Theo Johnson, who played a season-high 98 percent of the offensive snaps in the Giants' Week 8 loss to the Eagles.

OCTOBER 30 • ROTOWIRE

Unable to practice Giants coach Brian Daboll said Bellinger (neck) will not practice Wednesday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bellinger will not practice due to a neck injury sustained during New York's loss to Philadelphia in Week 8. If Bellinger's injury forces him to sit out versus the 49ers on Sunday, No. 1 tight end Theo Johnson will figure to take on an increased workload. With rookie running back Cam Skattebo (ankle) and top wideout Malik Nabers (knee - ACL) both out for the year, the Giants' tight ends corps could become a larger factor on offense going forward.

Sustains neck injury Bellinger suffered a neck injury during Sunday's contest in Philadelphia, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger combined for seven catches (on 10 targets) for 140 yards and one touchdown in New York's three games prior to Sunday, and he exited Week 8 action having hauled in his only target for 21 yards. As long as Bellinger is sidelined, Theo Johnson will take on a larger role among Giants tight ends.

Cleared to face Eagles Bellinger (neck) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger has the green light to suit up for Week 8. The backup tight end is coming off his best performance of the season in Week 7 against the Broncos, when Bellinger secured three of four targets for 88 yards and a touchdown. He has 85 receiving yards across six other appearances this season.
