Dane Belton - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Makes nine stops in loss Belton recorded nine tackles (four solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 26-19 loss at New England.

Impact In a game where the Patriots were able to keep the ball on the ground for much of the day, Belton collected six-plus tackles for his fifth straight contest. He's on pace for a career year in that category, and he projects as a solid IDP option in many formats going into a Week 7 matchup versus the Dolphins.
