Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Tyler Bass

Wednesday, September 20, 9:54 PM

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has only knocked through one field goal so far in 2023 and chances may be hard to come by in Week 3 against San Francisco. The 49ers' defense is one of the best units in football, meaning the Giants will likely have fewer scoring opportunities on Thursday Night Football. Plus, the offense will be without star running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). The veteran kicker should be on the waiver wire this week.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass was called upon for just one field-goal attempt, a 29-yarder, in Week 2's 38-10 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders. The 26-year-old hit five extra-point tries in the blowout, but he could be summoned for additional FG tries in Week 3 against the 2-0 Washington Commanders. Though, Washington allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game (4.41) to kickers in 2022. Bass' presence in such a potent offense, however, should maintain his status among the top-five kicking plays for Sunday's clash. He's a perfect 10-for-10 on kicks this season, but fantasy managers should monitor the weather forecast ahead of Sunday's contest with significant rain headed all across the East Coast this weekend.
