Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Jake Elliott

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 has now missed field goal attempts in back-to-back games, going one-for-two in Week 8 against the New York Giants. At first, the problem with Elliott was his lack of kicking opportunities despite his consistent accuracy. Now, the problem is both his opportunities and his accuracy. While he did hit five extra points to pick up the slack, managers can't depend on Philly scoring five touchdowns every week. Elliott is best left off of rosters heading into his Week 10 game against the Green Bay Packers.
