2022 Fantasy Outlook
A big-bodied 2022 fourth-round pick out of San Diego State, Bellinger only put up a 68-771-5 receiving line in 31 games in college but has many intangibles that make him an intriguing TE prospect for the future. A 4.63 40-yard dash at the combine, sturdy hands and good vision after the catch, plus being a strong and capable blocker, all give him a path to snaps alongside uninspiring free-agent pickups Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins. Bellinger appeared to stake his claim to the starting role early in camp, and he has the potential to be a diamond in the rough for a Giants offense in flux. Read Past Outlooks

Will develop behind Waller
TENew York Giants
March 15, 2023
The Giants remain high on Bellinger, who will be able to develop "at a more normal pace" after the team traded for Darren Waller on Tuesday, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
ANALYSIS
After being taken in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Bellinger quickly worked his way up to being New York's starting tight end. Though he performed admirably in the role, finishing the campaign with 30 catches for 268 yards and two receiving touchdowns (and adding a touchdown on his only rush attempt) over 11 games, the Giants traded for Waller to help perk up their passing game soon after handing out a four-year contract to quarterback Daniel Jones. Waller's arrival will almost certainly mean fewer opportunities for Bellinger, but Dunleavy notes that the organization hasn't lost any faith in Bellinger's ability. That said, from a fantasy perspective, Bellinger isn't likely to make much of an impact as long as Waller is healthy.
