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
Drawing Week 10 start
Belton is slated to start at safety in Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Belton and Tyler Nubin will operate as New York's primary safeties due to Jason Pinnock (abdomen) being inactive for the first time this season. Through the first nine contests, Belton has tallied 14 tackles and one pass breakup while seeing the majority of his snaps on special teams.

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.
