The New York Giants placed kicker Graham Gano (neck) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday due to the neck injury that he's been dealing with, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. It's the second time that Gano has been on IR this year, so his season will come to an end after only five games played in 2025. The 38-year-old veteran kicker went 9-for-10 on his field-goal attempts (he made his only 50-yard attempt) and 9-for-9 on extra points. The G-Men explored using Jude McAtamney for a short bit with Gano injured this year, but that didn't work out, and they are set to continue with former Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo in their Week 11 contest this Sunday against the visiting Green Bay Packers. In last week's loss to the Bears, Koo made both of his field goals and both of his extra points. He shouldn't be on the streaming radar in fantasy this week, though, with quarterback Jameis Winston taking over for the injured Jaxson Dart (concussion).

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (neck) was unable to take the field for Wednesday's practice session. It appears Gano is managing a neck injury after missing four games earlier in the season due to a groin issue. When healthy, Gano has been a viable option for the Giants, but keeping him healthy has been a problem. The Giants have both Younghoe Koo and Jude McAtamney on their practice squad right now. One of them would get the starting gig if Gano is forced to miss time. He'll have a few days to get ready ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano returns as a reliable leg with consistent opportunities thanks to his perfect 100% field goal percentage (8-of-8) this season. Gano's successful return from IR in Week 8, where he converted both field goals and extra points, provides much-needed stability following his backup's struggles. San Francisco's defense is prone to allowing field goal attempts, ranking 21st in the NFL by allowing an average of 2.3 opponent field goal attempts per game. Gano's ability to hit from a long of 55 yards gives him a decent fantasy floor and upside in this contest.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) is active for Sunday's contest against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Giants activated their top kicker from the IR earlier this weekend, and he is officially set to make his return. Gano has been on the shelf since suffering this injury in their Week 3 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. During his first three games of the campaign, Gano went 6-for-6 while adding four extra points on five attempts. In 2024, Gano went 9-for-11 on attempts through 11 games and knocked in all 15 of his extra points. Given New York's emerging offense with Jaxson Dart under center, Gano carries sneaky streaming upside in deeper formats.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano is currently considered questionable to play during the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the fact the Giants didn't elevate another kicker means Gano is likely to play. Gano has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury in Week 3. Before that, Gano was sharp as he knocked down all nine of his kicks during the first three games of the season. He should offer streaming value if active for Sunday's game.
Oct 25, 2025 6:56 PM EST
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.
Oct 24, 2025 7:09 PM EST
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.
Oct 22, 2025 4:25 PM EST
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.
Oct 21, 2025 5:21 PM EST
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.
Sep 24, 2025 1:29 PM EST
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.
