Giants TE Daniel Bellinger (eye) confident he'll return this year

Nov 09, 2022

During the second quarter against the Jaguars in Week 7, Daniel Bellinger caught a pass for a 13-yard gain before he was inadvertently poked in the eye by cornerback Devin Lloyd. Blood spilled on his white jersey as he was carted off the field.

Bellinger underwent surgery to repair fractures to his lower eye socket and damage to his septum and to insert a plate. The Giants hope he can return this season, and Bellinger is confident he will do just that.

Fantasy Impact:

Bellinger’s left eye remains a bit bloodshot and is not open fully. He said he is experiencing some double-vision, but it is improving on a daily basis, the story said. It added, Bellinger started running the past few days and will try to start lifting weights to see how his eye responds. He has not caught any passes since the injury. Bellinger has 16 receptions for 152 yards and leads the Giants with two touchdown catches.

49ers quarterback Brock Purdy injured his shoulder in the 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.

Coach Kyle Shanahan told beat reporters that Purdy is day-to-day with shoulder soreness.

Fantasy Impact:

The 49ers will release their first practice report Wednesday so owners will want to keep a close look as the week progresses. Purdy rushed for 40 yards and a diving touchdown on five carries, and he took two sacks and four additional hits in the pocket, the story pointed out. The Niners play in the later window on Sunday at Green Bay.

The Cowboys will have star receiver CeeDee Lamb, who is active. He popped up on the injury report Saturday with a back injury.

Lamb has 59 receptions for 681 yards and four touchdowns this season.

Fantasy Impact:

Owners will have to hope for the best with Cooper Rush at QB tonight. Last week Lamb was targeted 10 times, and that should hopefully continue tonight, but the Eagles held him to a line of 6-21-0.

Source: Former Patriots WR Tyquan Thornton is signing with the Chiefs practice squad.

Fantasy Impact:

As Rapoport pointed out, it's a fresh start for the former second-round pick from the 2022 draft class who was waived Saturday. Any time the Chiefs make a move on offense it's worth note in terms of fantasy. That's not to say Thornton is going to step in and be a factor anytime soon, but he may be worth a stash in dynasty leagues if he happens to be on your wire.
