The New York Giants have elevated kicker Jude McAtamney to their active roster ahead of Week 4 against the Los Angeles Chargers. The 25-year-old has evidently won the kicking competition over Younghoe Koo and will handle all kicking responsibilities Sunday with Graham Gano (groin) sidelined. It's a bit of a surprise out of New York, given that Koo has extensive NFL experience and McAtamney has only attempted two regular-season kicks. However, the Rutgers product also made 11 extra-point attempts during the preseason and has been with the team longer. He's off the fantasy radar due to the uncertainty surrounding him and the Jaxson Dart-led offense as a whole.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 9 matchup against the Washington Commanders. The Giants are having trouble keeping kickers healthy as they're now on the third kicker. Graham Gano (quad) suffered an injury during the season opener which allowed Greg Joseph (abdomen) to get into the picture, but now he's on the injured reserve. The assumption is that McAtamney will remain the kicker for a few games, assuming he does well. He won't be an ideal streaming option given the Giants struggles on offense this season.

New York Giants kicker Jude McAtamney hit both of his field goal attempts in Saturday's loss to the Giants, connecting from 43 yards and 23 yards away. He was the only Giant to put points on the board in the preseason finale. Born in Derry, Northern Ireland, McAtamney had experience playing Gaelic football before giving the American game a go, eventually playing for Rutgers in 2022 and 2023. McAtamney's path to the NFL makes for a good story but he won't be making waves in fantasy just yet. Signed as an international player, the 24-year-old rookie would not count against the 16 players on the Giants' practice squad. That does seem like the likeliest destination for McAtamney, as Graham Gano is healthy again and slated to be the Giants' starting kicker.
