Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Chris Boswell

Wednesday, November 12, 5:43 PM

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).

Pittsburgh Steelers kicker Chris Boswell has underwhelmed for fantasy purposes as of late, attempting just two field goals over the past four weeks. He'll look to get back on track against the Detroit Lions in Week 16. Boswell has been steady when given opportunities this season, and perhaps more importantly, this contest is expected to feature plenty of scoring. Of course, the Steelers will need to reach the end zone to keep pace with the Lions' high-powered offense, but Boswell could still have ample chances to make an impact in a climate-controlled environment at Ford Field. Fantasy managers can start Boswell as a top-12 option at the position this week.
