Hauls in TD in wild-card win Bellinger caught both his targets for 17 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-24 wild-card win over the Vikings.

Impact The rookie tight end hadn't scored a TD since Week 6, but Bellinger was on the other end of a nine-yard toss from Daniel Jones early in the third quarter that gave the Giants a 24-14 lead. Bellinger has shown flashes of upside in his brief career, but they didn't come against the team he'll face in the divisional round, as the Eagles held him to only three catches for 19 yards in their first meeting back in Week 14.

Slightly increases production Bellinger hauled in all three of his targets for 42 yards Sunday in the Giants' Week 17 win over Indianapolis.

Impact Bellinger tied for second on New York in receiving yardage with a total that established a new career-high mark. The bulk of the rookie tight end's production came on a 24-yard reception in the second quarter that took the ball to the Colts' seven-yard line and helped set up an Isaiah Hodgins receiving touchdown. Bellinger has been given a near every-down role for the playoff-bound Giants, but he hasn't put up the type of numbers typical of a must-roster tight end in standard fantasy leagues.

Records two catches Saturday Bellinger corralled both of his targets for 27 yards in Saturday's Week 16 loss to Minnesota. He also lost one fumble.

Impact Bellinger was the only New York tight end to see any targets Saturday, and he played all but one of the team's offensive snaps. However, the rookie continued to post modest numbers, and his fumble following a 16-yad reception on the opening play of the second quarter led to a Vikings field goal. The 27 receiving yards was Bellinger's highest mark since returning from an eye injury Week 13, emphasizing his relatively low fantasy ceiling as quarterback Daniel Jones has increasingly fed the team's wideouts while continuing to look to running back Saquon Barkley for short-yardage passing work.

Only one catch Week 15 Bellinger caught one of four targets for four yards in a 20-12 victory versus the Commanders on Sunday.

Impact Bellinger tied for fourth on New York with four targets, but he was able to corral only of them for a short gain. He ended up with his fewest receiving yards since being shut out entirely in the Giants' season-opener, though that can be partly attributed to an overall quiet passing performance by Daniel Jones, who threw for only 160 yards. Bellinger played on 98 percent of New York's offensive snaps and remains the team's clear-cut top tight end, and he will have a chance to bounce back in a Week 16 visit to Minnesota.

Playing Sunday Bellinger (ribs) is listed as active Sunday in Washington, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Last Sunday against the Eagles, Bellinger attempted to play through a rib injury but eventually departed for good in the fourth quarter. Coach Brian Daboll described Bellinger's issue as "pretty sore" Monday, capping him to limited sessions during Week 15 prep. It won't stop Bellinger from being available to the Giants offense Sunday, and assuming he avoids any in-game setbacks, he'll be set for a majority share of the team's TE reps. In nine appearances as a fourth-round rookie, he's hauled in 24 of 26 targets for 195 yards and two touchdowns.

Questionable due to rib injury Bellinger (rib) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Matt Citak of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact Bellinger exited the Week 14 loss to the Eagles with a rib injury, and the rookie tight end has been limited in practice throughout the week while dealing with soreness. New York didn't get much production from its tight ends when Bellinger was out earlier in the season due to an eye injury, but Nick Vannett, Chris Myarick and Lawrence Cager would all be candidates for more playing time if Bellinger's unable to suit up Sunday.

Stays limited in practice Bellinger (rib) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Ben Standig of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bellinger is dealing with a sore rib in the aftermath of this past Sunday's loss to the Eagles, during which he made his second straight appearance following a five-week absence due to a fractured left eye socket. The rookie tight end appears on track to be available this weekend in Washington, but he may need to upgrade to full practice participation Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday.

Limited practice on tap Bellinger (ribs) will be limited at practice Wednesday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

Impact Per Dan Duggan of The Athletic, Bellinger was "pretty sore" following the Giants' loss to the Eagles in Week 14. While the tight end's status is worth monitoring ahead of Sunday night's game against the Commanders, Bellinger's ability to practice in any fashion Wednesday appears to be a good sign with regard to his Week 15 availability.

Still dealing with sore ribs Giants coach Brian Daboll indicated Monday that Bellinger is "pretty sore" after leaving Sunday's loss to Philadelphia early due to a rib injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports...

Impact Bellinger hurt his ribs in the second quarter of Sunday's contest when taking a hit after making a catch. He was able to stay in the game but was ultimately pulled in the fourth period. There appears to be some concern about his status for Week 15, though a clearer picture of his availability will be shown by this week's practice reports. If Bellinger misses Sunday's game against Washington, Nick Vannett would likely take over the starting role.

Ruled out of Sunday's game Bellinger won't return to Sunday's game versus the Eagles due to a rib injury, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Bellinger exited the contest in the third quarter but was able to get back on the field for the Giants' first drive of the fourth. However, the rib issue that initially forced him to the sideline with keep him there for the rest of Week 14, from which he'll emerge with three catches (on three targets) for 19 yards. Bellinger's next chance to play will arrive next Sunday at Washington.

Back in Sunday's game Bellinger (ribs) returned to Sunday's game against the Eagles, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Impact Bellinger missed some time in the second half with a rib injury, but after getting examined he'll resume his status as the Giants' top tight end. He'll be looking to build upon his three catches (on three targets) for 19 yards that he compiled prior to his exit.

DECEMBER 11, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Leaves game with rib injury Bellinger is questionable to return Sunday against the Eagles due to a rib injury, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

Impact The rookie tight end caught a pass early in the second quarter and was slow to get up but stayed in the game until he left in the second half with a rib injury, per Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Bellinger caught three passes for 19 yards before exiting and will likely be replaced by Nick Vannett.

Totals five catches in return Bellinger caught all five of his targets for 24 yards Sunday in the Giants' 20-20 tie with Washington.

Impact Playing in his first game since suffering a fractured left eye socket against Jacksonville in Week 7, Bellinger tied his career-best mark with five catches and finished in a tie for third on the team with five targets. The rookie tight end was used exclusively as a short-yardage option -- his longest gain went for just eight yards -- but it was still promising to see his level of involvement after the long layoff. New York appears committed to Bellinger as the team's clear-cut No. 1 tight end, giving him some low-end fantasy value at the position despite the Giants' mediocre passing game.

DECEMBER 5, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Back in action Sunday Bellinger (eye) is active for Sunday's game versus the Commanders.

Impact After enduring a brutal fracture to his left eye socket back in Week 7 and undergoing surgery to repair it, Bellinger has progressed enough for the Giants to clear him to return. He'll thus miss four games as a result, and the team seemingly is confident he'll be able to handle most of the TE reps after making Lawrence Cager a healthy scratch Sunday. Prior to getting injured, Bellinger scored two touchdowns on 18 targets, four of which occurred in the red zone.
