2024 Fantasy Outlook
Belton's opportunities to play have been sporadic over his first two NFL campaigns, but he has a chance to move into a starting role in 2024 with Xavier McKinney off to Green Bay. Rookie second-round pick Tyler Nubin represents Belton's stiffest competition for the assignment, and the outcome may not be decided until close to Week 1 of the regular season. Belton hasn't been the surest tackler thus far as a pro, but he's shown good ballhawking ability with four pickoffs despite logging well under half of New York's defensive snaps. Read Past Outlooks
Nabs first pickoff of campaign
Belton recorded eight tackles (seven solo) and two pass defenses, including an interception, in Sunday's 45-33 Week 17 victory against Indianapolis.
ANALYSIS
The highlight of Belton's performance was an interception of Joe Flacco on New York's six-yard line on the Colts' first drive of the game. It was the third-year safety's first interception of the season and the fifth of his career. Belton also posted his second-highest tackle total of the season with his eight stops.

With Von Miller out for the season, A.J. Epenesa, who has been highly effective over the last two weeks, is the next man up as a key pass rusher for the Bills.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Belton got an opportunity to start as a rookie when Xavier McKinney broke his hand during the Giants' bye week, but he struggled in two games before being replaced by Jason Pinnock. Belton ended the campaign with 31 tackles, three pass defenses and two interceptions, with his playing time dwindling after Week 12. Julian Love's exit should prompt a training-camp battle between Belton, Pinnock and newcomer Bobby McCain for a starting safety spot, though New York could opt to take a committee approach.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Could make early impact
Belton is identified as a late-round pick that could make a solid impact as a rookie by Chad Reuter of NFL.com.
ANALYSIS
The safety out of Iowa could be in a good position to step in early on and see a fair share of playing time, considering Jabrill Peppers is now in New England. The Giants do have Julian Love, who's logged 16 starts in the last three seasons, on the roster, but Belton brings an impressive college resume that includes plenty of experience in the slot and a five-interception tally in 2021.
