Week 7 at Jacksonville Jaguars
Daniel Bellinger caught a season-high five balls last week, gaining 38 yards and scoring his third touchdown of the season. The rookie’s role seems to be steady in this offense and the Giants need reliable pass-catchers with injuries and inconsistency plaguing the receiving talent in New York.
Bellinger has a tough matchup against the Jaguars this week. Jacksonville has a revamped corps of linebackers this season, and although they gave up a touchdown to rookie Jelani Woods last week, they rank fourth in aFPA to opposing tight ends. Bellinger is a risky, touchdown-dependent option this week, but has sneaky upside with the dearth of options at the position, and the equally thin number of options in the Giants’ passing game. We have him ranked outside TE1 territory, but close enough for streaming potential if you’re missing Dallas Goedert on a bye.
