Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Matt Gay

Saturday, September 27, 6:37 PM

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) was placed on the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano suffered a groin injury during last week's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. As a result, Gano will miss at least the next four games. Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. McAtamney appears to be in line to get the first chance at the kicking job in New York. The Giants also have Younghoe Koo, but it appears McAtamney won that competition. Fantasy managers should probably look elsewhere for a kicking option for Week 4. This Giants offense hasn't been good enough to give their kickers many chances early in the season.

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay did not attempt a field goal in their 21-6 Week 1 against the Giants, but converted all three extra points. Gay likely would have had a field goal opportunity at the end of the first half, but Washington was called for an intentional grounding penalty with a handful of seconds left and no timeouts left, leaving the clock to run out. The offense had other sloppy moments that ended potential scoring drives early, but still moved the ball at will. In a projected shootout on Thursday night in Green Bay, Gay should be fired up as one of the top kicker options in Week 2.
