New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin), who remains on Injured Reserve, is considered questionable to make his return for the Week 8 divisional rematch against the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, according to Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Gano was limited in practice all week but is expected to be officially activated from IR on Saturday and play on Sunday. The 38-year-old veteran placekicker was the team's starting kicker for the first three weeks of the season before injuring his groin, making all six of his field-goal tries (one from 50-plus yards) and all four of his extra-point attempts. Fantasy managers should be settling for safer kicking options this weekend, but with New York's offense on the upswing thanks to rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart and rookie running back Cam Skattebo, Gano could be on the streaming radar in the coming weeks now that he's on the cusp of his return.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) has been designated to return from injured reserve and will practice on Wednesday, per Dan Salomone of Giants.com. Gano missed the minimum of four games with the injury and is set up to make his return in Week 8 against the NFC East-leading Philadelphia Eagles. The team released kicker Jude McAtamney on Tuesday following missing two extra points in a one-point loss to the Broncos in Week 7, while former Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo remains on the practice squad. The 38-year-old Gano would be a streaming option if he is back in Week 8 with rookie Jaxson Dart leading an efficient Giants offense.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve this week and could return this Sunday when the team faces the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles in Week 8, according to The 33rd Team's Ari Meirov. Former Atlanta Falcons Pro Bowl placekicker Younghoe Koo is also still on the practice squad, so either Gano or Koo will kick for the G-Men this weekend after Jude McAtamney was released on Tuesday. The 38-year-old Gano has already missed the required four games while on IR, but the Giants have yet to officially open his 21-day practice window. If New York decides to give him one more week to recover, they can go with Koo against the Eagles after McAtamney missed two crucial extra points in the one-point loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 7. Gano made all 10 of his kicks (six field goals and four extra points) in three games this year before his injury. When he's back, he'll be on the streaming radar in a Giants offense that has come to life under rookie quarterback Jaxson Dart.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano suffered a groin injury during last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, Gano will miss at least the next four games. Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. McAtamney appears to be in line to get the first chance at the kicking job in New York. The Giants also have Younghoe Koo, but it appears McAtamney won that competition. Fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for a kicking option for Week 4. This Giants offense hasn't been good enough to give their kickers many chances early in the season.
Sep 27, 2025 6:37 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) has been ruled out for Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Younghoe Koo will kick in his absence. Gano initially suffered the injury during warmups before last week's game against the Chiefs. He did convert a field goal in that game, but was still used sparingly. Now, there's a chance that he could be placed on IR as he recovers. Meanwhile, Koo was cut loose by the Falcons after missing a potential game-winning field goal in Week 1. He's capable of kicking far with accuracy, but his volume remains uncertain as the Giants could face some growing pains in quarterback Jaxson Dart's first career start.
Sep 27, 2025 9:06 AM EST
New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that kicker Graham Gano (groin) did not practice on Wednesday and will be out on Sunday in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers, according to Dan Duggan of The Athletic. Not only will Gano miss Week 4 after injuring his groin during pre-game warmups on Sunday night before the loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, but he's expected to land on Injured Reserve, which would keep him out for a minimum of four games. With that in mind, the Giants signed former Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo to their practice squad on Tuesday. New York also has Jude McAtamney on their practice squad, so one of the two should be called up to the active 53-man roster by Sunday to kick against the Chargers. Either way, fantasy managers should be looking for better kicking streamers.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) suffered a groin injury while warming up for Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 3. He is now questionable to kick in the primetime contest, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The 38-year-old has been perfect with his leg so far this season, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 4-for-4 on extra points. He entered this week as the overall K10 in fantasy football, making him a borderline starter in managers' lineups. Given the timing of Gano's injury, it's most likely too late to replace Gano in fantasy football lineups this week. Even if managers have the opportunity to replace him, the only remaining options are Harrison Butker, Tyler Loop, and Jake Bates, who are likely rostered in most leagues. New York may attempt two-point conversions after touchdowns, depending on the veteran's status.
Sep 21, 2025 8:34 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has established himself as a premier fantasy option and should be considered in Week 3 against the Chiefs. Gano is currently the K5 in fantasy, averaging an impressive 10.5 points per game while remaining perfect on the season, having made all five of his field goal attempts--including a long of 55 yards--and all four extra points. While some fantasy managers may hesitate to trust the Giants' offense week-to-week, its ability to move the ball, as seen in the 37-point outing against Dallas, provides Gano with ample scoring opportunities. His proven accuracy and the offense's capability to stall in opponent territory make him a top-tier fantasy kicker.
Sep 20, 2025 1:19 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a possible fantasy option for Week 2 against the Dallas Cowboys, depending on your league. Gano was responsible for all six of the Giants' points in Week 1, making both of his field goal attempts, including a long of 52 yards, for 8 fantasy points. This puts him in a decent position among fantasy kickers, especially since he has a 100% field goal percentage so far. His opportunities for scoring could increase against a Dallas team that gave up 11 fantasy points to kickers in Week 1 of the 2025 season. Given the Giants' offensive struggles and Gano's reliable leg, he should be considered for Week 2.
Sep 13, 2025 2:39 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano is a difficult fantasy start for Week 1, given his recent injury history and the unknown offensive output of the team. Gano has missed significant time over the last two seasons due to injury and saw his field goal percentage drop to 73.25% over the past two seasons. While he did show a positive sign by making both of his 50+ yard attempts, his overall inconsistency is a major concern. The Giants' offense is expected to be a work in progress with a new quarterback, which could limit scoring opportunities. While the Commanders' defense wasn't particularly stingy against kickers last year, Gano's recent struggles make him a high-risk, low-reward option to start the season.
Sep 6, 2025 2:09 AM EST
The New York Giants don't have any big contracts that they need to shed this offseason and are in a pretty healthy salary cap situation in 2025, but The Athletic's Dan Duggan suggests that kicker Graham Gano could still be a cap casualty as the Giants look to save a little extra money. The 37-year-old veteran is set to count $5.7 million against this year's cap and has missed 16 games because of injury the last two years. If the G-Men decide to cut the kicker, they'd save $3.2 million on the cap while creating $2.5 million in dead money. Gano injured his hamstring in Week 9 in 2024 and ended up playing in only 10 games, going 9-for-11 on his field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra points. He's been pretty reliable in his five seasons with New York, making 87.2% of his field goals, but the Giants wouldn't be blamed for looking to go younger at the position.
Feb 22, 2025 12:20 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano looks to get going in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons after a quiet showing in Week 15, where he had no field goal attempts but made both PATs in a 35-14 loss to the Ravens. On the season, Gano has converted 6 of 8 field goals (75%) with a long of 50 yards. The Falcons' defense allows 24.4 points per game, ranking 25th in the league, which could create scoring opportunities if the Giants' offense can sustain drives.
Dec 21, 2024 1:41 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has struggled with consistency this season, making just six of eight field goal attempts (75%) across six games, including a long of 50 yards. In Week 14 against the Saints, Gano converted a 43-yard field goal in the first half but had a critical 35-yard attempt blocked, costing the Giants a chance to force overtime. In Week 15, Gano faces a Ravens team allowing 24.5 points per game (24th in the league), which could present scoring opportunities if the Giants' offense can move the ball. However, with limited volume, Gano is a risky fantasy play and best left on the bench unless you're in dire need of a kicker.
Dec 14, 2024 12:38 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano put together his best fantasy performance of the season last week. Gano connected on both of his field goal attempts and both extra point attempts in the loss to the Dallas Cowboys. It's worth noting that Gano has only appeared in four games this season due to injury. That being said, fantasy managers haven't been able to see much from Gano this season. The 15-year veteran has been a reliable option throughout his career, but it's hard to imagine him having much success given how poorly this offense has been lately. Gano will be a shaky choice for the Week 14 matchup against the New Orleans Saints.
Dec 8, 2024 10:12 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano enters the Week 13 Thanksgiving Day matchup against the Dallas Cowboys with limited opportunities in his return from an early-season injury. In Week 12's 30-7 loss to Tampa Bay, Gano did not attempt a field goal, marking his second game back since Week 2. This season, he has made three of four field goals (75% accuracy) with a long of 50 yards. While the Cowboys allow the second-most points per game (29), potentially boosting Gano's opportunities, the Giants' offensive struggles could cap his upside. Fantasy managers should temper expectations, as Gano remains a risky option given his limited workload and the Giants' inconsistency in reaching scoring range.
Nov 28, 2024 1:38 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano will look to bounce back in Week 12 against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after a mixed performance in Week 10 against Carolina, where he went 1-for-2 on field goals, including a clutch 42-yard game-tying kick in regulation. Gano, who has played just three games this season due to injury, has made three of four field goal attempts, including a long of 50 yards, for a 75% conversion rate. The Buccaneers' defense, ranked 30th against the pass, could allow the Giants' offense to generate scoring opportunities, giving Gano a chance to capitalize. With the Giants' offense still finding its footing (with Tommy Devito at the helm), Gano is a risky fantasy option.
Nov 23, 2024 1:46 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (right hamstring) is active for Week 10 against the Carolina Panthers. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the right direction after New York activated him from injured reserve on Saturday. The veteran has been sidelined since the season opener, in which he went 2-for-2 on field goals. A favorable matchup against the Panthers gives Gano top-12 appeal this week.
Nov 10, 2024 8:13 AM EST
The New York Giants have activated kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) from the injured reserve ahead of their Week 10 outing against the Carolina Panthers. The 37-year-old hasn't appeared in a game since picking up the ailment while attempting a tackle on the opening kickoff against Washington in Week 2. Before his injury, he connected on his only two field goal attempts in Week 1. Upon his return, Gano will immediately slot back in as the team's primary placekicker and is gifted with a juicy matchup this Sunday morning across the pond. Carolina has allowed the second-most fantasy points in the league thus far to opposing kickers and could be a useful fantasy option if the Giants' offense can get it together in Munich.
Nov 9, 2024 10:15 PM EST
The New York Giants listed kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) as questionable for their Week 10 game in Germany this Sunday against the Carolina Panthers after he was limited in practice. Gano is eligible to be activated from Injured Reserve and kick this weekend, but the Giants have yet to officially make the move. The 37-year-old veteran kicker has been sidelined due to a right-hamstring injury since Week 2, so he'll be a pretty risky fantasy option if he's activated on Saturday and plays this Sunday. If the G-Men decide to wait another week on Gano, expect Jude McAtamney to kick for the team again against Carolina. Whenever Gano does return, he'll merely be a deep-league streaming option at the position. In the first two games of the year before getting injured, Gano made both of his field-goal tries and didn't attempt an extra point.
Nov 8, 2024 1:56 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) was able to get through a limited practice session on Thursday. Gano has been out since suffering an injury during the opening kickoff in Week 2. Since then, the Giants have been using Greg Joseph (abdomen) at kicker, but he was placed on the injured reserve last week. Jude McAtamney took over the kicking duties in Week 9 and connected on his lone field goal attempt. Afterwards, McAtamney headed back to the practice squad with Gano possibly returning in Week 10. Whoever is the kicker for the Giants might actually have streaming appeal against the terrible Carolina Panthers defense this weekend.
