Who Should I Start? Nick Folk or Graham Gano

Saturday, September 13, 11:56 AM

New York Jets placekicker Nick Folk is one of the riskier options this week for his home matchup with the Buffalo Bills. The 40-year-old was a perfect 2-for-2 on field goal tries last weekend - including a 51-yarder - and knocked through both of his extra-point attempts - providing decent fantasy value in the loss. Folk has been deadly accurate across the past two campaigns. Over that stretch, he's a superb 50-of-52 on FGs, and 11-of-12 on ones from 50 or more yards out. While New York offered him plenty of opportunities for points in Week 1, it's unclear if the same will be true against Buffalo's defense. The University of Arizona product has a chance to be a modest producer in Week 2, but fantasy managers can likely find a better option than him. Folk is RotoBaller's K29 for his contest with the Bills.

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.
