Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Justin Tucker

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.

Free-agent kicker Justin Tucker received a 10-game suspension from the NFL on Thursday, according to league insider Ian Rapoport. The eight-time All-Pro was released by the Baltimore Ravens this offseason after allegations of sexual misconduct by numerous accusers. The 35-year-old suspension will begin on the NFL's roster cutdown day (August 26), and he will be eligible for reinstatement following Week 10 of the 2025 campaign (November 11). His suspension can be served whether he is with a team or not. Tucker is one of the best kickers in NFL history, but the off-the-field developments are sure to negatively impact his legacy and his chances to be in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in the future.
