Who Should I Start? Daniel Bellinger or Elijah Arroyo

Saturday, November 15, 9:15 AM

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger (groin) has been cleared from the injury report and is good to go for Sunday's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. Bellinger opened the week with limited practices on Wednesday and Thursday, but was upgraded to a full participant on Friday. The 25-year-old had his highest snap share of the season in the Giants' Week 10 loss at the Chicago Bears at 72.6%, and added one catch for eight yards on two targets. Bellinger has been more involved in the offense of late, playing at least 50% of the snaps in all but one game since Week 5, totaling nine catches for 169 yards and a touchdown on 11 targets. His 18.8 yards per reception during that span is the highest among tight ends with at least 50 routes run. In Weeks 1-4, he played over 30% of the snaps just once with three total receptions. Bellinger will be without rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart (concussion) for this game, but backup Jameis Winston has proven capable over the years. Bellinger is only relevant as a deep league option for Week 11 against the Packers.

Seattle Seahawks rookie tight end Elijah Arroyo (knee) remains on Injured Reserve with a knee injury and will miss at least one more week for a game this Saturday night against the division-rival San Francisco 49ers that will decide the No. 1 seed for the NFC playoffs. The 22-year-old second-rounder out of Miami suffered a knee injury back in Week 14 and won't be eligible to play until the postseason. If the Seahawks beat the Niners in Week 18, Arroyo will have an extra week to heal up before the team's first playoff game in the Divisional Round. As long as AJ Barner remains healthy the rest of the way, it's unlikely that Arroyo will return from his knee injury to be a key contributor in Seattle's offense as they look to make a lengthy playoff run. Arroyo has only had over two catches once in 2025 and has not gone over 44 yards in his 13 games. He has just 15 catches for 179 yards and a TD to begin his NFL career.
