Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Brandon McManus

Saturday, September 13, 2:39 AM

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.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus looks to keep his solid run going in Week 2 as the Packers host the Washington Commanders on Thursday Night Football. McManus kicked two field goals from 38 and 34 yards out and converted all three of his extra point attempts in Week 1 as the Packers beat the Lions 27-19. In the regular season, McManus has missed just one kick in his Packers' career, so he's been reliable. Given that the Packers are on a trajectory to be one of the upper-echelon teams in the NFL, McManus should get plenty of opportunities in the future for Green Bay. He's startable in leagues with a kicker slot if you didn't get one of the top kickers in your draft.
