Daniel Bellinger News
Monday, March 9, 4:53 PM
The Tennessee Titans signed former New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger to an undisclosed deal on Monday, sources told Dianna Russini of The Athletic. The move reunites him with former head coach Brian Daboll, who is now the offensive coordinator in Tennessee. The 25-year-old is expected to help replace Chig Okonkwo, who is most likely departing in free agency. Second-year tight end Gunnar Helm is expected to move into the top pass-catching tight end role in Tennessee, with Bellinger likely being the No. 2. In his four years with the Giants and Daboll, Bellinger had 88 catches for 934 yards and four touchdowns in 62 regular-season games. The former fourth-rounder in 2022 out of San Diego State had a career-best 286 receiving yards on 19 catches last year, scoring only twice in 16 games. Unless Helm misses time due to injury in 2026, Bellinger should be on the waiver wire in standard 12-team leagues.

Chig Okonkwo News
Thursday, March 5, 4:35 PM
The Washington Commanders will rank in the top five for most salary cap space available this offseason, and ESPN's John Keim writes that they would like to add another tight end. Tennessee Titans impending free-agent tight end Chig Okonkwo is a possibility. Okonkwo led the Titans in receiving in 2025 with 56 catches on 79 targets for a career-high 560 yards and only two touchdowns in 17 games played in his fourth year in the league. However, the 26-year-old only ranked as the No. 22 tight end in half-PPR scoring last year, losing valuable targets and playing time to rookie Gunnar Helm, especially in the second half of the season. The Titans are expected to move forward with Helm as their pass-catching TE in 2026 and into the future, leaving Okonkwo to find a new team. Zach Ertz is a free agent, so if Okonkwo were to land in D.C., he could have a clearer path to TE1 utility in fantasy leagues this fall.
