Now that tight end Darren Waller officially announced his retirement over the weekend, New York Giants tight ends Daniel Bellinger and rookie Theo Johnson are set to compete for primary pass-catching duties at the position in 2024. Johnson was a fourth-rounder this year, while Bellinger was a fourth-round selection in 2022. But tight ends are physical, but Bellinger has the clear experience edge, having caught 55 of 63 targets for 523 yards and two touchdowns in 29 games in his first two NFL seasons. However, Bellinger's production has left a lot to be desired in fantasy in terms of upside, leaving the door open for Johnson to impress and earn more work as his rookie campaign rolls on this fall. In a suspect Giants offense with a quarterback coming off a torn ACL last year, neither Bellinger nor Johnson represent anything more than a low-end TE2 in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Wednesday that rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot), who was placed on season-ending Injured Reserve this week, had surgery for a Lisfranc injury to his foot. Johnson was injured in last Thursday's loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thanksgiving and will now look to get healthy this offseason as he heads into his sophomore season. The 23-year-old fourth-rounder finishes his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions for 331 yards and one touchdown in 12 games. Johnson was just starting to get more involved as a pass-catcher for the Giants before his injury and he's an interesting dynasty/keeper hold, although New York's situation at quarterback may hold him back in future years. For the rest of 2024, Daniel Bellinger figures to be New York's primary pass-catching TE, but he'll be a TE2, at best, in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

The New York Giants placed rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) on season-ending Injured Reserve on Monday. Johnson was injured in the Thanksgiving Day loss to the division-rival Dallas Cowboys last Thursday but caught all five of his targets for a season-high 54 yards before leaving. It's a tough break for Johnson, as he was just starting to see a much bigger role in the passing game in recent weeks. The 23-year-old fourth-round selection out of Penn State will finish his first year in the NFL with 29 receptions on 43 targets for 331 yards and a touchdown in 12 games played. Johnson is an interesting dynasty/keeper asset if the Giants can figure out their QB situation sooner than later. For the rest of the 2024 campaign, Daniel Bellinger should serve as New York's top pass-catching TE, although it may not result in much fantasy relevance.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller

New York Giants rookie tight end Theo Johnson (foot) suffered a foot injury on Thursday afternoon and is likely done for the season, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The Penn State product tallied a season-high 54 yards off five receptions on Thursday afternoon. Since Week 9, the rookie has begun to see more involvement in the passing game, as he has seen at least five targets in each game. Before this stretch, Johnson averaged just 2.5 targets per game during Weeks 1 through 8. Fantasy managers in deeper formats should continue monitoring Johnson's status but should begin searching the waiver wire for a replacement option. In New York, Chris Manhertz and Daniel Bellinger will likely see an uptick in snaps, which could be viable options in 14+ team formats if they see consistent snaps.--Andy Smith - RotoBaller

New York Giants tight end Theo Johnson set a career-high in his rookie season with 54 receiving yards in Thursday's 27-20 loss to the Dallas Cowboys. Johnson caught all five of his targets, averaging 10.8 yards per reception, including a team-long 18-yard grab that tied Malik Nabers for the game's longest receiving play for New York. His steady performance marked the fifth consecutive game with 35 or more receiving yards, underscoring his growing reliability in the offense. With 7.9 fantasy points in Week 13, Johnson continues to emerge as a solid option for fantasy managers, particularly in leagues valuing consistent production at the tight end position.--Danny Boily - RotoBaller
