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. Read Past Outlooks
Nabs two pickoffs in second season
Belton played in all 17 games in the 2023 campaign, totaling 33 tackles (22 solo), including a sack, along with two interceptions.
ANALYSIS
Belton's role fluctuated throughout the season, and he saw most of his work on special teams until Jason Pinnock's toe injury early in Week 17 allowed room for Belton to get an extended opportunity at the end of the campaign. The 2022 fourth-round pick shined with a pair of interceptions after Pinnock left that Week 17 game against the Rams, but the overall sample size over the course of the season was likely too small for New York to develop a definitive perspective of Belton's ability to move up to a larger full-time role. There may be a hole for the Giants to fill at safety if Xavier McKinney leaves in free agency, though in that scenario they may look outside the organization for a replacement.

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.
