Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Zane Gonzalez

Saturday, October 25, 6:56 PM

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (groin) has been activated off the injured reserve on Saturday. Gano is currently considered questionable to play during the Week 8 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles. However, the fact the Giants didn't elevate another kicker means Gano is likely to play. Gano has been sidelined since suffering a groin injury in Week 3. Before that, Gano was sharp as he knocked down all nine of his kicks during the first three games of the season. He should offer streaming value if active for Sunday's game.

The Washington Commanders re-signed kicker Zane Gonzalez to an undisclosed deal on Thursday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Gonzalez took over for an injured Austin Seibert (hip) before Week 13 last season and finished the year (including three playoff games) by making 12 of his 15 field-goal attempts and all 27 of his extra-point tries in nine games. That was enough to convince the Commanders that the 29-year-old deserves a shot to open the 2025 season as their primary placekicker. Gonzalez was returning to the NFL in 2024 for the first time since he kicked in 12 games for the Carolina Panthers back in 2021. Washington is one of the better up-and-coming offenses in the NFL after quarterback Jayden Daniels led them to the NFC Championship in his rookie season, so at the very least, Gonzalez will be a fantasy streaming option to open next season.
