Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Brandon Aubrey

Wednesday, October 22, 4:25 PM

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.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has been one of the best kickers this decade, and he'll look to build on his success in a divisional Week 7 marchup against the Washington Commanders. He is a perfect 12-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-19 on extra points, continuing to showcase his accuracy and extremely strong leg. This pair of skills has allowed him to rank as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy points so far, and he remains the consensus K1 heading into Week 7. A matchup against the Commanders isn't ideal, as they've allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. However, Aubrey has shown that he is matchup-proof and should be started in all leagues this weekend.
