2025 Fantasy Outlook
Belton has been a reliable depth option for the Giants through three NFL campaigns, playing in 49 of 51 possible regular-season games. He's tallied five interceptions while making 13 starts in his career and has also served as a core special-teamer. The Giants' offseason acquisition of Jevon Holland to start alongside Tyler Nubin at safety means that Belton likely will be locked into a rotational role on defense again in 2025. Read Past Outlooks
Improves in fourth campaign
Belton concluded the 2025-26 regular season with 120 tackles (including 2.0 sacks), five defensed passes (including an interception) and three forced fumbles over 17 contests.
ANALYSIS
Belton began the campaign as a rotational defensive back, but he started nine of New York's final 10 games. That helped the 2022 fourth-round draft pick more than double his previous career-high mark for tackles in a season, and the three forced fumbles were also a career best. Belton doesn't grade out as an elite defender, but he buoyed his value to the Giants by thriving on special teams. He's slated to become a free agent, and it's unclear if New York will attempt to bring him back.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Stands out in spring
Belton excelled in spring practices and looks poised to play a significant role on defense despite the offseason addition of Jevon Holland, per Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Belton had three interceptions in the five practices open to the media. Even if he fails to beat out Holland or Tyler Nubin for a starting safety spot, Belton will likely earn a role in certain packages that call for extra defensive backs as the Giants' third safety.
