Who Should I Start? Daniel Bellinger or Elijah Arroyo

Monday, January 6, 10:27 AM

New York Giants tight end Daniel Bellinger caught two passes for nine yards during Sunday's Week 18 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Bellinger has stepped up as the Giants' primary tight end with Theo Johnson (foot) on injured reserve, but he played just 58.5 percent of the offensive snaps on Sunday and hasn't been a dependable contributor despite his increased role. Moving forward, the 24-year-old will drop back down to second on the depth chart once Johnson is healthy again. He's off the radar heading into 2025 fantasy football drafts.

Seattle Seahawks tight end Elijah Arroyo is not worth rostering, let alone starting in Week 2 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Arroyo played just 31% of the snaps in Week 1. He is going to take time to work into the offense. The athletic and talented young rookie has a chance to push for more touches as the season wears on, but he is squarely behind AJ Barner in the tight end pecking order. However, each week fantasy managers should keep an eye on his snap share. If that rises, a substantial role in the offense will be predictable. Until then, he is better left on waivers.
