Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Jake Elliott

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).

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made his only extra point attempt and his only field goal attempt from 39 yards in his most recent performance against the Green Bay Packers. While Elliott found his accuracy again, he was not given enough opportunities to put up any significant fantasy numbers in a game that ended 10-7. This week he'll kick against the Detroit Lions, who allow just 22.2 points per game to opposing offenses. Elliott has only made multiple field goals in one game this season, and is best left off of rosters until he shows some more fantasy production.
