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.

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.

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.

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.
Nov 7, 2024 9:20 PM EST
The New York Giants designated kicker Graham Gano (hamstring) to return to practice on Wednesday and opened his 21-day window to return from Injured Reserve. It's good news for Gano, but it doesn't necessarily mean he'll be activated and kick in Week 10 when the team takes on the Carolina Panthers this Sunday in Germany. The 37-year-old veteran landed on IR on Sept. 17 with a right-hamstring strain and has only kicked in two games this year. Jude McAtamney served as the team's kicker in the Week 9 loss to the division-rival Washington Commanders after fill-in Greg Joseph (abdomen) was placed on IR last Saturday. How Gano looks in practices this week will determine of the G-Men feel comfortable bringing him back against Carolina. If Gano needs another week to recover, McAtameny figures to make a second straight start.
Nov 6, 2024 12:51 PM EST
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.
Oct 16, 2024 5:18 PM EST
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.
Oct 14, 2024 4:26 PM EST
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.
Sep 17, 2024 6:07 PM EST
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.
