Catches two passes in Week 18
Bellinger reeled in both of his targets for nine yards Sunday in a 20-13 loss to Philadelphia. He finished the regular season with 14 receptions (on 17 targets) for 125 yards and no touchdowns.
ANALYSIS
Bellinger ended the campaign in quiet fashion, recording less than 10 receiving yards in each of his final three games. The third-year pro looked as though he could take over the role as New York's No. 1 tight end after Darren Waller's offseason retirement, but that spot atop the pecking order ultimately was claimed by rookie fourth-round pick Theo Johnson until he landed on IR with a foot injury in early December. Bellinger did step in as the starter after Johnson's injury and posted eight catches for 80 yards in his first two games thereafter before the three-game fade. The organization seems to be high on Johnson, who was fairly productive after gaining his footing in the league, so Bellinger figures to move back to the No. 2 role next season in what will be the final year of his rookie contract.

Bellinger has started 24 games across his first two NFL seasons, but he failed to step up when Darren Waller missed five games due to a hamstring injury in 2023. Despite appearing in all 17 games after missing five as a rookie himself, Bellinger saw his yardage total drop from 268 to 255 and failed to find the end zone in his second season after scoring twice in 2022. Waller announced his retirement in June, but the Giants added tight end Theo Johnson in the fourth round of the 2024 NFL Draft, giving Bellinger new competition for snaps and targets. While Bellinger is the favorite to make the Week 1 start, Johnson is faster and more athletic and thus more likely to have fantasy utility if he does earn considerable playing time.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Competing for starting job
Bellinger is set to compete with rookie Theo Johnson for the top spot on the tight end depth chart, as Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports Darren Waller has informed the Giants that he is planning to retire.
ANALYSIS
Bellinger backed up Waller in 2023 when the veteran starter wasn't sidelined by a hamstring injury. With Waller hanging up his cleats, Bellinger and Johnson are the top remaining options at tight end for the Giants, so both likely will receive significant playing time in 2024. Bellinger and Johnson are both fourth-round draft picks, with Bellinger being picked in 2022 and Johnson in 2024.
