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 drilled both of his field goal attempts and converted all three extra-point tries in a Week 14 victory over the Baltimore Ravens. This week, he'll face a more difficult challenge against the Miami Dolphins. Miami's defense has stepped up as of late, surrendering just over 13 points per game across its past four contests. Additionally, cold temperatures and strong winds on Monday night could pose problems for both the Steelers' offense and Boswell. With this AFC showdown projected to be relatively low-scoring, fantasy managers may want to consider other options in more appealing matchups. Still, Boswell remains one of the most consistent kickers in the NFL and can be trusted as such in Week 15.
