Quick answer
Buy lowBellinger caught 19 passes for 286 yards in 2025, finishing TE44. He scored 15% more than his touches said he should. The arc is recovery: TE47, then TE67, now TE44. The 2026 projection is thin — only roster him if you need the upside. That's a buy-low window if the price still reflects the rough year, not the recovery.
