Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Matthew Wright

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.

With kicker Joey Slye (calf) officially out for Week 6 due to a calf injury, the Tennessee Titans will turn to Matthew Wright to handle the kicking duties on Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders. Wright has appeared in 29 games across five NFL seasons for six different teams, making 55 out of 63 (87.3%) of his career field goal attempts. Wright appeared in five games spread across three teams in 2024, including two with Tennessee. He made 15 out of 16 field goal attempts last year, although his longest make was from just 50 yards out. Wright profiles as a kicker for fantasy managers to avoid in Week 6 against the Las Vegas Raiders.
