Brian Burns Questionable for Giants Defense in Week 8
New York Giants linebacker Brian Burns (hip) is listed as questionable to play in Week 8 when the team takes on the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday for the second time this year, according to Giants.com's Dan Salomone. Despite missing practice time this week, the NFL's leader in sacks is expected to be active this weekend as the Giants look to sweep Philly in 2025. As long as the 27-year-old is active, fantasy managers will want him in their starting lineups, as Burns has recorded 34 tackles (23 solo), a league-leading 12 tackles for loss, nine sacks, four pass breakups, and a forced fumble through seven weeks. In the Week 6 win over the Eagles on Thursday night, he had two sacks of Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts. The Giants' defense/special teams unit is probably best avoided in Week 8, but Burns is a must-start in IDP leagues at linebacker if he's active on Sunday.
