Daniel Bellinger hasn't had a great year. He's appeared in 15 games, catching only 12 passes for 116 yards. The 24-year-old also hasn't found the end zone since his rookie campaign. With
Malik Nabers (toe) questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts, there's a good could be a few extra targets up for grabs. However, Bellinger isn't likely to be a beneficiary, and his outlook is even worse with
Drew Lock under center.

Daniel Bellinger heads into Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons looking to build on steady production as the team's lone starting tight end since
Theo Johnson's season-ending injury. Over the past two games, Bellinger has tallied eight receptions on 10 targets for 80 yards, averaging 10 yards per catch but has yet to find the end zone. The Falcons' defense has been tough on tight ends recently, ranking 4th in fewest fantasy points allowed to the position over the past four weeks. However, Atlanta's overall struggles against the pass (225.9 yards allowed per game, 27 passing touchdowns surrendered) leave a glimmer of upside for Bellinger, giving the Giants hope in favorable game scripts.

Daniel Bellinger turned in a steady performance in Sunday's 35-14 loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Playing in his second game as the starting tight end following
Theo Johnson's season-ending injury, Bellinger caught all three of his targets for 35 yards, including a 17-yard reception, and averaged 11.7 yards per catch. While his contributions were efficient, he was not a major factor in the red zone and did not record a touchdown. Bellinger finished the game with five fantasy points, providing a reliable but limited role in the Giants' struggling offense.

Daniel Bellinger had a decent outing in Week 14, catching five of seven targets for 45 yards in his first game as the team's primary tight end following
Theo Johnson's injury. Despite the increased involvement, Bellinger only scored seven fantasy points against the Saints and has yet to score a touchdown this season, capping his fantasy value. In Week 15, he faces a Ravens defense that ranks sixth against tight ends over the last four weeks but is last in the league against the pass, allowing 264.9 yards per game and 23 touchdowns. While the matchup offers some volume potential, Bellinger's lack of explosive plays and situation as a backup TE (now thrust into the starting role) makes him a risky fantasy option the rest of this season.
