New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said that kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) won't come off the Injured Reserve to kick in Week 7 against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles. Gano is not ready to return to the team despite missing the required four games on IR, so the Giants are expected to roll with veteran Greg Joseph again this Sunday. The 37-year-old Gano is recovering from a right-hamstring injury. Fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a kicking option this weekend. The Giants offense hasn't been great in 2024, although they could be getting rookie wideout Malik Nabers (concussion) back against the Eagles. Joseph missed both of his field-goal chances in the Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals and has made eight of his 11 field-goal tries overall in his four games this year.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said on Monday that he'll know whether kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) is ready to come off Injured Reserve on Wednesday. Daboll also said that if Gano isn't ready this week, the team will likely stick with Greg Joseph, even though he missed two kicks in the 17-7 Week 6 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday night. Gano has missed four weeks on IR already but isn't a lock to return for a Week 7 date against the division-rival Philadelphia Eagles this Sunday. The 37-year-old veteran reportedly hasn't been doing much work off to the side during practices, making it more unlikely that he'll be ready to go this week. In the Week 1 loss to the Minnesota Vikings, Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and didn't have an extra-point try. Fantasy managers are best off avoiding New York's kicking situation altogether for the foreseeable future.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) was placed on IR on Tuesday. In perhaps a prophetic move, the Giants signed veteran kicker Greg Joseph to their active roster earlier in the day. Gano injured his hamstring in Week 2 against the Washington Commanders. Following his injury, the Giants did not attempt a kick and instead opted to go for two after every touchdown. While Gano had a tough 2023 season for the Giants, he had been solid over the previous three seasons. Joseph has extensive experience and should be able to fill in valiantly for the Giants in while Gano recovers.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) will miss "a few weeks" with a hamstring injury, according to head coach Brian Daboll. The Giants scored three touchdowns in their Week 2 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders, but not having a kicker left them short after a missed extra point from their punter and two failed two-point conversions in a three-point defeat. The 37-year-old veteran was included on the Week 2 injury report but suited up on Sunday against Washington before injuring his hammy early in the game and being ruled out. Gano seems likely to miss at least Week 3 against the Cleveland Browns, and he'll probably be held out with a short turnaround in Week 4 against the division-rival Dallas Cowboys on Thursday, Sept. 26. With Gano out, the Giants could elevate kicker Jude McAtamney from their practice squad. Fantasy managers should avoid this kicking situation.
Sep 16, 2024 1:40 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) exited Sunday's matchup against the Washington Commanders. The veteran popped up on the injury report on Saturday night due to a groin issue. However, while he initially believed he aggravated the ailment, it was actually a hamstring injury that kept him out for the remainder of Week 2. Gano made both field goal tries during the loss to the Vikings in Week 1, including a 50-yard attempt. But considering his history, fantasy managers may not see him on the field in Week 3 against the Browns, although it's still too early to speculate.
Sep 15, 2024 5:41 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) is doubtful to return to Sunday's matchup with the Washington Commanders. The veteran popped up on Saturday's edition of the injury report because of a groin injury. However, he didn't have a game status, so most assumed he was healthy enough to suit up. While that was true at the time, it now appears the issue could keep him out for the remainder of Week 2. Fantasy managers also shouldn't be surprised to see Gano miss time, although it's too early to speculate. The Giants don't have an emergency replacement, meaning New York may need to be more aggressive than usual on the offensive end for the rest of the contest.
Sep 15, 2024 1:24 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) was added to the injury report heading into Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. However, he doesn't carry a game status, meaning he's expected to see the field in Week 2. The 37-year-old is coming off a rough season. But in the Week 1 loss to the Vikings, he made both kicks, including a 50-yard attempt. With questions surrounding the potency of the Giants offense, Gano may be needed more than ever, giving him a higher upside than most others at the position, even with his current ailment.
Sep 15, 2024 12:04 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano steps into Week 2 against the Washington Commanders, looking to rebound after a quiet start in Week 1. Despite only managing two field goals against Minnesota, Gano is still a reliable scoring option, as he has a career average field goal percentage of 83.7%, including an impressive 43-for-64 from 50+ yards. Facing a Washington defense that allowed 37 points in Week 1, Gano's opportunity for kicks should be plentiful, especially if the Giants stall in the red zone. Expect Gano to hover around double-digit fantasy points, as the Commanders' bend-don't-break defense could set him up for several mid-range field goal attempts.
Sep 14, 2024 2:19 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano enters Week 1 against the Minnesota Vikings as a sneaky yet reliable fantasy option. Despite only playing eight games last season, Gano is healthy again and has a career average field goal percentage of 83.7%, including an impressive 43-for-64 from 50+ yards. With the Giants offense projected to struggle to move the ball effectively, Gano could see few field goal opportunities on Sunday. Look elsewhere on the waiver wire until we get more answers about the Giants offense.
Sep 7, 2024 1:07 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) needs surgery for a left-knee injury and is likely out for the rest of the season. The Giants officially placed him on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Veteran Randy Bullock was signed and eventually elevated to the active roster, but he didn't have a single kicking opportunity in the 30-6 Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The G-Men also added Cade York last week, but he was inactive on Sunday. In eight games for the Giants this year before his knee injury, the 36-year-old Gano made 11 of his 17 field-goal attempts and made all eight of his extra-point tries. Bullock and York could continue to compete for the starting kicking job on game days on Sundays, but fantasy managers should avoid the situation entirely.
Nov 6, 2023 8:01 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) will have surgery on his left knee and will be placed on Injured Reserve. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Giants are signing former Tennessee Titans kicker Randy Bullock to their practice squad, pending a physical, according to sources. Bullock was with the Giants in 2016. New York also worked out veteran kickers Robbie Gould, Mason Crosby and Matthew Wright on Thursday before deciding on Bullock. It's unclear if Gano will be ready to return to action after missing the required four games on IR. Given the low-scoring nature of New York's offense in 2023, Bullock isn't an attractive fantasy streamer in what will be his first game this Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Nov 2, 2023 5:21 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) was limited in Thursday's practice for the second straight day due to a left-knee injury. Gano has played the last two games with the injury, so it's safe to assume he will be active in Week 9 against the Las Vegas Raiders, albeit likely at less than 100 percent. The Giants held tryouts for kickers Robbie Gould, Mason Crosby, Randy Bullock and Matthew Wright, for what it's worth. If the Giants sign one of those kickers, it will be a sign that they don't feel comfortable sending Gano out there this Sunday. New York will be getting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) back this weekend, but fantasy managers should still be looking to avoid Gano or whoever kicks for them in Week 9 in an offense that has been one of the lowest-scoring units in the league this year.
Nov 2, 2023 4:43 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) put in a limited practice on Wednesday while dealing with a left-knee injury. Gano missed two of his three field-goal tries in a three-point overtime loss to the New York Jets in Week 8. It's a good sign that the 36-year-old veteran kicker is practicing again this week before a Week 9 game against the Las Vegas Raiders, but fantasy managers shouldn't put their faith in Gano at less than 100 percent in an offense that is among one of the worst in football. Through eight weeks of the season, Gano ranks as the No. 30 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points. He's attempted 17 field goals, which is tied for 10th most in the NFL, but the problem is he's made just 11 of them (64.7 percent).
Nov 1, 2023 7:55 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) practiced in full on Thursday and Friday and has no injury designation for this weekend. As the offense struggles, Gano's attempts have fluctuated. In Week 7, he saw just one field goal try, which he missed. In fact, the veteran has missed four field goals through seven games. He's the K28 at this point in the season. The Jets' defense allows under 20 points per game, so opportunities may be scarce for Gano. There are at least 20 better kicker candidates for fantasy football lineups on Sunday.
Oct 28, 2023 11:02 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) was removed from the final Week 7 injury report on Friday and will play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders. Gano was limited in practice this week with a left-knee injury. The 36-year-old will kick this weekend, but fantasy managers should be able to find more reliable options at the position. The Giants could be without starting quarterback Daniel Jones (neck) for the second straight week. The matchup is much more attractive against Washington, but Gano is outside the top 25 at his position in overall fantasy points through six weeks. The Giants' stagnant offense just isn't moving the ball consistently enough this year to make Gano fantasy relevant.
Oct 20, 2023 2:28 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) was limited in practice on Thursday for the second straight day due to a left-knee injury. Gano might be questionable on the final injury report for Week 7 that is released on Friday, but the veteran kicker appears to be on the right side of questionable for now since he's at least done something both days so far. The 36-year-old's injury is also to his non-kicking leg, which is more good news. The Giants have a pretty solid matchup this Sunday against the Washington Commanders, but New York's offense hasn't even been close to good enough to make Gano very attractive in starting fantasy lineups through six weeks. He comes into this week's game tied for 25th overall in the NFL at his position in fantasy points.
Oct 20, 2023 1:33 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) finds himself on the Week 7 injury report after putting in a limited practice session on Wednesday with a left-knee injury. Gano's status might be up in the air for Week 7 against the Washington Commanders after he made all three of his field-goal attempts in Sunday night's loss to the Buffalo Bills. It was the second straight game that the 36-year-old has made three kicks, but he's only attempted 13 field goals on the year and five extra points. Gano is tied for 25th in overall fantasy points at his position through the first six weeks in a Giants offense that has had trouble moving the ball consistently. He remains off the fantasy radar for now.
Oct 18, 2023 4:57 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano had his first decent game for fantasy football managers in Week 3 but ultimately hasn't cracked the top 30 in scoring at the position. The Giants' offense has struggled mightily through the first three games of the season which has limited Gano's opportunities. Big Blue will face the Seattle Seahawks in Week 4, who are vulnerable against the pass. If New York can move the ball with an efficiency that we haven't yet seen this season, Gano could turn in a relevant fantasy performance. He's ranked in the middle of the pack among starting kickers this week.
Sep 29, 2023 11:00 AM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has only knocked through one field goal so far in 2023 and chances may be hard to come by in Week 3 against San Francisco. The 49ers' defense is one of the best units in football, meaning the Giants will likely have fewer scoring opportunities on Thursday Night Football. Plus, the offense will be without star running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). The veteran kicker should be on the waiver wire this week.
Sep 20, 2023 9:54 PM EST
New York Giants kicker Graham Gano knocked through a 34-yard field goal with 19 seconds remaining to clinch a 31-28 victory for the Giants. The veteran also went a perfect 4/4 on extra points against Arizona. The Giants' offense started sluggish on Sunday afternoon, falling behind 20-0 at halftime. Thankfully for fantasy managers, Big Blue woke up after halftime, giving Gano some opportunities. Gano and the rest of the Giants face a tough San Francisco defense on Thursday Night Football in Week 3.
