Brian Burns, Andrew Thomas injured in fourth quarter
ProFootballTalk reports Giants pass rusher Brian Burns and left tackle Andrew Thomas both went down in the fourth quarter of Monday night's game. Neither is a fantasy-relevant skill player.
Monday night's game can't end soon enough for the Giants.
Sharp take
Sharp SixNo actionTwo defenders and linemen leaving a blowout is a Giants problem, not a lineup problem. Nobody in your starting nine is affected by this, and the only name in your player pool here is Brian Thomas, who shares a surname with the injured tackle and nothing else. Thomas put up 7.0 FFPC points in Week 1 and draws Denver in a 45.5-point game as a 2.5-point underdog, which is a real concern and entirely unrelated to this news. Start him anyway, because you drafted him at 79 overall and the bench alternative is worse. Otherwise, no action.
