Giants beat writer Dan Duggan considers Daniel Bellinger the team's "clear TE1.” He’s seen a steady dose of snaps with the starters throughout camp, and given the minimal competition, this news isn’t shocking. We’ll see if the Giants add a veteran body, but the dynasty arrow is certainly pointing up for the 4th-round rookie.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (quad) has evidently been activated from the PUP list. He was on the field for the start of Wednesday's training-camp practice -- and running with the 1st-team offense. At this point, the rookie looks like the favorite to open the season as the Giants' starter, ahead of veterans Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins. Bellinger is still just a late-round fantasy flier in what figures to be a WR-centric passing game.

Giants TE Daniel Bellinger is opening training camp on the PUP list with a quad injury. The rookie surprisingly ran with the starters in OTAs and is certainly a name to monitor leading up to Week 1. We'll see when he's able to get back on the practice field.

Fourth-round rookie TE Daniel Bellinger just might be the favorite to start for the the Giants this season. NJ.com's Zack Rosenblatt reports that Bellinger was "almost exclusively running with the first-team offense" at Thursday's OTA practice. "Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins are both healthy and were running with the backups," Rosenblatt added. Although it's tough to count on much from any rookie TE -- let alone a 4th-round pick -- this report highlights Bellinger's limited competition on the road to a lead job. He's not a bad shot to take as a 3rd TE in best-ball drafts right now, especially when stacked with QB Daniel Jones. We'll keep watching how the situation develops.

The Giants added San Diego State TE Daniel Bellinger in the 4th round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Bellinger totaled just 68 catches for 771 yards and 5 TDs across 4 college seasons. He fared poorly in Pro Football Focus receiving grade and yards per route run last year. On the plus side, the 6'5, 247-pounder earned a 97th percentile Relative Athletic Score at the Combine, highlighted by a 4.63-second 40 time. That at least gives him the potential to be more productive in the pros than he was in college. Bellinger joins a wide-open Giants TE group alongside Ricky Seals-Jones and Jordan Akins.
