Pro Football Sports Network places Brian Burns, Andrew Thomas, and Malik Nabers on its Top 100 list despite injury concerns and fluctuating production.
Pro Football Sports Network (PFSN) has named three New York Giants players to its Top 100 list heading into the 2026 season, according to Sports Illustrated. While the rankings highlight the talent of the trio, the data reveals a disconnect between perceived value and recent availability.
Edge rusher Brian Burns leads the group at No. 43. Sports Illustrated reports Burns recorded a career-high 16.5 sacks last season and holds a third-place ranking in PFN's EDGE Impact Scoring. Since entering the league in 2019, Burns has accumulated 71.0 sacks, the fifth-highest total league-wide.
Left tackle Andrew Thomas ranks No. 46. PFSN assigned Thomas an 86.4 O-line impact score last season, which ranked fourth among all offensive tackles and second among left tackles. However, Sports Illustrated notes that injuries cost Thomas chunks of the last two seasons, including four missed games last year, which impacted his ranking. He currently trails Trent Williams of the San Francisco 49ers, Jordan Mailata of the Philadelphia Eagles, Garett Bolles of the Denver Broncos, and Penei Sewell of the Detroit Lions.
Wide receiver Malik Nabers sits at No. 85. His ranking comes despite a rocky 2025 season in which he missed 13 games due to an ACL injury. Sports Illustrated highlights the efficiency gap during Nabers' absence: the Giants averaged 267.6 yards per game with Nabers on the field compared to just 164.6 yards per game without him.
