  • Drills 57-yard FG against 49ers

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts in Thursday's Week 3 loss to San Francisco.

    Analysis: The Giants tried for a two-point conversion on their only touchdown, so Gano didn't get a chance to attempt any extra points. However, the veteran kicker hit a 44-yard field goal in the first quarter and converted an attempt from 57 yards out just before halftime. Gano has made all three of his field-goal tries over his past two games and appears to be back on track after an uncharacteristic pair of misses in a season-opening loss to Dallas.

  • Bounces back with game-winning FG

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt and all four extra-point tries against the Cardinals in a Week 2 win Sunday.

    Analysis: Gano, and the Giants as a whole, had a miserable Week 1, as the veteran kicker missed both of his field-goal tries and suffered an ankle injury to boot in the 40-0 loss against Dallas. However, Gano was able to recover in time to take the field Week 2 and looked to be back in form, drilling the game-winning field goal from 34 yards out with less than 20 seconds on the clock to cap a furious New York comeback. Despite his struggles in the season-opener, Gano has earned a reputation as one of the…read more

  • Cleared for Week 2

    Gano (ankle) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Gano sustained a right ankle injury in this past Sunday's 40-0 loss to the Cowboys, which may have contributed to him having a 45-yard attempt blocked and returned for a touchdown in the first quarter and pushing a 36-yard attempt wide left in the second quarter. The veteran kicker was limited in practices Wednesday and Thursday, but after upgrading to full activity Friday, the Giants are apparently convinced he'll be ready to go for their Week 2 matchup. Gano will get a favorable spot to…read more

  • Limited again Thursday

    Gano (ankle) remained limited in Thursday's practice, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gano's injury is to his kicking ankle, so it certainly bears watching ahead of Sunday's date with the Cardinals. Coach Brian Daboll has expressed optimism that Gano will be able to kick in Arizona.

  • Working through ankle injury

    Gano was a limited participant at practice Wednesday due to an ankle injury, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The injury that Gano dealt with in Sunday's loss to the Cowboys had been labeled as a calf issue, but the Giants' first Week 2 practice report classified the kicker's injury differently. Regardless, head coach Brian Daboll expressed confidence that Gano will be available to kick in this weekend's game at Arizona. He'll have two more opportunities to log a full practice before Sunday's contest.

  • Injury severity downplayed

    Giants head coach Brian Daboll said Wednesday that Gano (calf) will be limited in practice but should be fine for Sunday's game at Arizona, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gano injured his calf in the Giants' Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, but his ability to practice in any capacity Wednesday bodes well for his chances of being ready to go by the time the weekend arrives. The 36-year-old misfired on both of his field-goal tries in Week 1 as the Giants were shut out, 40-0.

  • Injury update likely Wednesday

    Gano, who suffered a calf injury in Sunday night's Week 1 loss to the Cowboys, will have his status updated Wednesday per head coach Brian Daboll, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.

    Analysis: Gano suffered the injury on the blocked field goal in the first quarter of the contest but remained in the game and subsequently missed a 36-yard try before halftime. The veteran kicker underwent X-rays after the game, but details of those results will be held back for now. His status for Sunday's Week 2 matchup against the Cardinals should gain further clarity with Wednesday's expected update.

  • Dealing with right calf injury

    Gano said after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys that he was cleated in the right calf after the blocked field goal in the first quarter but expects to be fine, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gano was seen entering the X-ray room after Sunday's matchup, and he wasn't wearing a shoe on his right foot. However, he appears to be dealing with a calf injury that isn't believed to be particularly serious. A better idea of his status for next Sunday's game against Arizona should come into focus based on his participation in practice this week.

  • Undergoing X-rays

    Gano went into the X-ray room after Sunday's loss to the Cowboys due to an apparent right foot injury, Charlotte Carroll of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: The Giants were outplayed in nearly every area during Sunday's season-opening loss, and Gano missed two field-goal attempts. He had a 45-yard attempt blocked in the first quarter, and he missed a 36-yard try just before halftime. It's possible his injury contributed to his struggles, but the severity of the ailment isn't yet clear.

  • Gets three-year extension

    Gano signed a three-year contract extension with the Giants on Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Gano gets some job security just before the start of the 2023 season in a move that will also free up cap space for the Giants. The 36-year-old kicker earned his extension with a strong three-year stretch since joining the Giants, during which Gano has converted 89 of 97 field-goal attempts.

  • Perfect on kicks in preseason

    Gano made all three of his field-goal tries, including two from more than 50 yards, and his lone extra-point attempt in Saturday's exhibition loss to the Jets.

    Analysis: Gano showed off his big leg by connecting on a 57-yarder in the second quarter and a 56-yarder in the third. The veteran kicker finished a perfect 6-for-6 on field-goal attempts in preseason action, with all six coming from 40-plus yards out. He also made all five of his extra-point tries and appears primed for New York's season opener against Dallas on Sept. 10. Gano tied for 11th among kickers last year with 119 points, and his fantasy value is increased in formats in which distance matters,…read more

  • Efficient in 13th NFL season

    During the regular season, Gano converted 29 of 32 field-goal attempts and 32 of 34 extra-point tries. He made his lone field-goal try and all five of his extra-point attempts over two postseason games.

    Analysis: Gano was selected as a Pro Bowl alternate on the strength of his accurate kicking during the campaign. Among other things, he went 8-for-9 on field-goal attempts from beyond 50 yards, finishing with his most makes from that distance in his 13 seasons as a pro. Gano struggled at times with his accuracy early in his career, but he's since become one of the league's most reliable kickers, making 132 of 143 (92.3 percent) of his field-goal tries over the past five campaigns. Gano has one year…read more

  • Makes both kicks Week 18

    Gano converted his lone extra-point attempt and added a 24-yard field-goal on his only try in the Giants' Week 18 loss to Philadelphia.

    Analysis: The Giants rested many of their starters for the contest, but they still hung close to an Eagles team with a first-round bye on the line. Gano gave New York its first points with a 24-yard field goal in the third quarter and converted an extra point with less than two minutes remaining to pull the Giants to within six, but his ensuing onside kick was recovered by Philadelphia to effectively end the contest. Gano finished the regular season with a 29-for-32 mark on field-goal tries, marking the…read more

  • Perfect in big Week 17 win

    Gano converted his lone field-goal try and all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday in the Giants' 38-10 victory versus Indianapolis.

    Analysis: Gano wasn't challenged much in the blowout win, as his lone field-goal try came from 36 yards out. Still, the veteran came through on that attempt as well as on all five of his extra-point tries to help the Giants earn a playoff-clinching victory. Over the past three weeks, Gano has converted all six of his field-goal tries and eight of his extra-point attempts.

    Gano converted all three of his field-goal attempts and made his lone extra-point try in a Week 16 loss to the Vikings on Saturday.

    Analysis: Gano did all he could to try to help New York to victory, coming through on a trio of field-goal tries after halftime. He hit a pair of 44-yarders in the third quarter, then nailed a big 55-yarder with less than seven minutes remaining in regulation to pull the Giants to within a point. That make was his eighth (on nine attempts) from beyond 50 yards this season, establishing a new career high.

  • Comes through in huge win

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries Sunday in a 20-12 Week 15 win over Washington.

    Analysis: Points were at a premium in the primetime divisional clash with significant playoff implications, so Gano's ability to convert when called upon was a major factor in New York's victory. The veteran kicker nailed a 50-yard field goal late in the third quarter to give the Giants an eight-point lead, then hit another 50-yarder with less than two minutes remaining in the fourth to push the team's lead back up to eight. Gano has hit 24 of 27 field-goal tries on the season and has gone 7-for-8 from…read more

  • No field-goal tries Sunday

    Gano made both of his extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal Week 14 in a loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: Gano was hampered by a lopsided affair that saw Philadelphia post a 20-point lead by the end of the third quarter. When the fourth period came around, the Giants elected to go for a 4th-and-8 on the Eagles' 23-yard line instead of turning to the veteran kicker, eliminating what would have been his lone field-goal try. He didn't even get a chance at a third extra-point attempt, as New York tried (and succeeded on) a meaningless two-point conversion with 39 seconds left in the contest. Gano will…read more

  • Misses potential game-winning FG

    Gano converted two field goals on three attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-20 tie with Washington.

    Analysis: Gano hit from 48 yards out early in the second quarter and made a chip-shot 27-yarder just before halftime. With time running out in OT, he attempted to win the game from 58 yards out but came up short. It was the first time since Week 4 that the veteran kicker has missed a field-goal try, though it's unreasonable to pin much blame on him given the distance on the attempt.

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts, including a 57-yarder, and converted both of his extra-point tries Thursday against Dallas on Thanksgiving.

    Analysis: An ill Gano struggled mightily last week against Detroit, missing both of his extra-point tries while not attempting a field goal for the first time since Week 1. He bounced back in impressive fashion Thursday, converting a 57-yard field goal on New York's second possession and a 47-yarder just before halftime. The veteran kicker also made both of his point-after tries, so it's probably safe to say that last week's struggles were a result of his illness and not a reason to be concerned about…read more

  • Comes up empty in Week 11

    Gano (illness) missed both of his extra-point attempts and did not try a field goal in Sunday's Week 11 loss to the Lions.

    Analysis: Gano missed practice Friday due to an illness but attempted to play through it Sunday. The issue may have contributed to the veteran kicker's poor showing -- his first extra-point miss was understandable, as it was partly blocked and got pushed off course by a swirling wind, but his second miss simply hit the right upright. Coming into the contest, Gano was perfect on 17 extra-point attempts on the season, so he's likely to bounce back Thursday against the Cowboys.

    Gano (illness) isn't at practice Friday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.

    Analysis: Gano is feeling under the weather, forcing him to miss the Giants' final practice of the week ahead of their matchup with the Lions on Sunday. If he can't go in Week 12, the Giants will almost certainly have to sign a kicker for the contest.

  • Makes all four kicks in Week 10

    Gano make his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries Sunday in a Week 10 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: Gano didn't have a field-goal try until the fourth quarter, but he came through when called upon, nailing a 49-yarder with under two minutes remaining that put the game out of reach for New York. He's made 10-of-11 field-goal tries from beyond 40 yards this season and has also converted all 17 of his extra-point attempts. Gano is tied for fourth in the league with 18 made field goals this season, making him a decent option in fantasy leagues that include kickers.

  • Converts both field-goal tries

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try in Sunday's Week 8 loss to Seattle.

    Analysis: Gano converted a 31-yard field goal in the third quarter to tie the game 10-10, and he knotted the score again with a 45-yarder early in the fourth. The latter was his last attempt of the day, however, and the Seahawks went on to score two additional touchdowns to pull out the victory. Gano remains perfect on extra-point tries this season while going 19-for-21 on field-goal attempts.

    Gano made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in a 23-17 Week 7 win over Jacksonville.

    Analysis: Gano wasn't tasked with any tough tries in the contest -- his longest field-goal attempt was from just 34 yards out -- but he converted each time he was called upon. His final field goal with just over one minute remaining in the contest extended New York's lead to six points, ensuring that the Jaguars would need a TD to mount a comeback (they fell one yard short). The Giants have surprisingly started the season 6-1, and none of their wins have come by more than eight points. With such narrow…read more

  • Scores six points Week 6

    Gano converted his only field-goal try from 34 yards and made all three of his extra-point attempts in a 24-20 Week 6 victory over Baltimore.

    Analysis: Gano had made and attempted at least two field goals in each of his past four games, but he got only one try Sunday. The veteran kicker nailed that kick from 34 yards out and also was successful on all three of his extra-point tries. The Giants offense is far from prolific, but it has produced enough opportunities to allow Gano to be a top-10 fantasy kicker through the first six weeks of the campaign.

Gano has gone 11-for-13 on field-goal tries and 8-for-8 on extra-point attempts so far this season for the surprising 4-1 Giants.

    Analysis: Gano converted a 44-yard try in the third quarter and a 43-yarder in the fourth. He could have sealed the win with a 37-yarder with less than 30 seconds remaining in the fourth and New York up by eight points, but he hit the left upright. It was just his second miss inside 40 yards over the past three seasons but didn't end up costing New York in the win column. Gano has converted 9-of-11 field-goal tries and all five of his extra-point attempts so far this season.

However, the veteran kicker bounced back my making his final three field-goal tries, including two from 51 yards out.

    Gano made all four of his field-goal attempts as well as his only extra-point try in Sunday's 19-16 win over Carolina.

    Analysis: Gano's kicking keyed New York's second straight victory to begin the season, as he accounted for 13 of the team's 19 points. The veteran converted relatively easy attempts from 36 and 31 yards out in the first quarter before nailing a 51-yarder near the start of the fourth quarter. He punctuated the big day with a clutch 56-yard make that put the Giants ahead for good with under four minutes to play.

  • Converts only kick Sunday

    Gano did not try any field goals and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 21-20 season-opening victory against the Titans.

    Analysis: New York scored three touchdowns in the game, but Gano got to attempt the extra-point after only one of them. After the Giants' first score, a botched snap resulted in the kicker aborting his attempt, and after their final touchdown, head coach Brian Daboll boldly called for a two-point try that was converted to win the game. The good news for Gano is that he was able to play after suffering a concussion in the team's second preseason game. He's been excellent since joining New York two seasons…read more

    Analysis: Gano suffered a concussion while trying to make a tackle during the Giants' second preseason game, but as expected, he'll be good to go for Week 1 in Tennessee.

The veteran kicker will set his sights on healing up before the team's Week 1 clash with the Titans on Sunday, Sept. 11, as Gano is unlikely to play in next Sunday's preseason finale against the Jets.

  • Being evaluated for concussion

    Gano's being evaluated for a concussion, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gano got hurt while diving to make a tackle on a long kickoff return in Sunday's preseason game against the Bengals. Another update should surface once the results of the evaluation come in, but there's a good chance that Gano won't return Sunday regardless.

  • Practicing long snapping

    Gano appears to have added to his special-teams skill set by practicing as a long snapper this offseason, Serena Burks of USA Today reports.

    Analysis: Gano's roster spot is already secure as the team's kicker after he converted better than 88 percent of his field-goal attempts for the fourth year in a row in 2021, but his ability to provide a possible backup option behind current Giants long snapper Casey Kreiter is a plus. The 35-year-old signed a three-year, $14 million contract just three months after joining the Giants in August 2020 and is currently the only kicker listed on the team's official roster.

  • Minimal impact in Week 18

    Gano made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 22-7 loss to Washington.

    Analysis: Gano had fairly consistent production early in the 2021 campaign, but he didn't attempt more than two kicks in any of the last five games since the Giants' offense struggled with Mike Glennon and Jake Fromm under center. During his second season with the Giants, the 34-year-old converted 29 of 33 field-goal attempts while making all 17 of his extra-point tries.

  • Limited to one kick in loss

    Gano made his lone field-goal attempt in Sunday's 29-3 loss to the Bears.

    Analysis: Gano hasn't missed a kick since Week 13. The problem is that he's only seen four field-goal and two extra-point tries in that four-game span.

  • Ready for Week 17

    Gano (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bears, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Gano was dealing with a non-COVID-19 illness this week, but it won't affect his availability for Week 17. The 34-year-old is 28-for-32 on field goals and 16-for-16 on PATs through 15 games this season, though his fantasy outlook is limited with the Giants scuffling in the absence of Daniel Jones (neck).

  • Makes both kicks in loss

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 34-10 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: After seven straight punts to open the game, Gano put the Giants on the board by capping an 11-play, 39-yard drive with a 54-yard field goal. However, with Jake Fromm and Mike Glennon leading the charge, the Giants' offense only mustered 192 total yards, so Gano's opportunities were few and far between. The 34-year-old is now 28-for-32 on field-goal attempts this season, but his fantasy production continues to be limited by a depleted offense.

  • Perfect in loss

    Gano made both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's 21-6 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: The Giants were unable to generate much offense at home in Week 15, and Gano was responsible for the team's only scoring with field goals in the first and third quarters. He didn't appear to be limited after he dealt with a non-COVID illness this week, and he's now converted eight of 10 field-goal attempts while making all three extra-point tries across the last five games.

    Analysis: A non-COVID-19-related ailment kept Gano away from the facility Wednesday, but the veteran kicker continued to test negative for the virus and was able to get back on the field a day later. Gano has been one of the top players at his position in 2021, converting 25 of 29 field-goal attempts, with three of his misfires coming from at least 50 yards.

    Gano didn't participate in Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a non-COVID-19-related illness, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: Given the league-wide surge in players testing positive for COVID-19, Gano's absence from practice due to an illness creates some level of concern, but the veteran kicker apparently hasn't contracted the virus at this stage. So long as he continues to test negative and returns to practice by Friday, Gano should be in good shape to play Sunday against the Cowboys.

  • Minimal production in loss

    Gano made his lone extra-point try in Sunday's 37-21 loss to the Chargers.

    Analysis: Gano made an extra-point try late in the first quarter of Sunday's matchup before the Chargers put up 30 unanswered points. As a result, the Giants went for the two-point conversion after each of their touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Although he saw limited work against the Chargers, he's attempted multiple field goals in four of the last seven games. During that time, he's made 13 of 15 field-goal attempts while converting all nine of his extra-point tries.

    Analysis: The Giants failed to generate much offensive production in Sunday's matchup, but Gano gave the team the lead with a 39-yard field goal in the second quarter. He also made his first two field-goal attempts in the second half, but he missed a 56-yard attempt late in the fourth quarter that would have brought the deficit within one possession. Since the Giants' Week 10 bye, Gano has made six of eight field-goal attempts while converting both of his extra-point tries.

    Gano made two of three field-goal attempts and his lone PAT during Sunday's 13-7 win over the Eagles.

    Analysis: Gano missed from 51 yards out wide right, but he was good from 39 and 35 yards to help the Giants defeat a divisional rival. The 34-year-old is enjoying a successful season and has gone 22-for-25 on field goals -- with two misses from 50-plus yards -- while making all 14 PATS through 11 games.

  • Perfect for fifth straight game

    Gano converted his lone field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try during Monday's 30-10 loss to the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Gano hasn't missed a kick since Week 5, though in that span he's had three games with just a single field-goal attempt. Nonetheless, the veteran remains reliably accurate, and the Giants' divisional matchup against the Eagles on Sunday could provide him more scoring opportunities.

  • Overcomes stomach bug

    Gano (illness) wasn't included on New York's initial Week 11 practice report and is on track to play Monday in Tampa Bay, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

    Analysis: According to Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com, Gano wasn't present for the Giants' informal practice session Wednesday due to a stomach bug, but he apparently was able to make a full recovery 24 hours later. Through nine games, Gano has made a strong case for receiving his second Pro Bowl nod. He's converted 19 of 21 field-goal attempts -- including a 5-for-6 mark from 50-plus yards -- while drilling all 12 of his extra-point tries.

    Gano isn't practicing with the Giants on Wednesday due to an illness, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Head coach Joe Judge said Wednesday that Gano and linebacker Lorenzo Carter are both away from the team while battling stomach bugs, but thus far neither player has been placed on the COVID-19 list. The Giants will release their first official practice report of the week Thursday, so Gano's status will need to be monitored as Monday's matchup with the Buccaneers approaches.

    Gano made both extra-point attempts and one short field goal during Monday's 20-17 loss against the Chiefs.

    Analysis: Gano was perfect for the third straight week as the Giants nearly knocked off the defending AFC champions on Monday. The Giants had the last possession in a close loss, but they failed to set Gano up in field-goal range to try and tie the game. The veteran kicker has yet to miss an extra point (10-for-10) and is 16-for-18 in field-goal tries on the season. Gano has remained an average fantasy kicker option in a low-scoring offense as the Giants have been very inefficient with red-zone…read more

  • Makes three more field goals in win

    Gano converted all three field-goal attempts and a pair of PAT tries in Sunday's 25-3 win over the Panthers.

    Analysis: With New York's defense stymieing Sam Darnold and the Panthers, the offense pulled away late on another busy afternoon for Gano. The former Carolina kicker has now converted 15 of his league-leading 17 field-goal attempts, as a Giants offense that moves the ball well but struggles to punch it in has provided ideal conditions for the accurate Gano to thrive.

The 34-year-old opened the scoring for New York with his first make at the beginning of the second quarter, and then he cut Dallas' lead to 17-13 with his second make to open the second half.

    Gano made two of his three field-goal attempts and his only extra point during Sunday's 26-20 overtime win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Gano couldn't open the scoring with a 35-yard field goal, as he missed it wide left. However, the 34-year-old bounced back and made his final three kicks, including a 48-yarder to tie the score at 21 with 31 seconds remaining. Gano remains a reliable kicker, but his fantasy production is limited due to the Giants' inconsistent offense.

    Analysis: Gano converted from 25 and 31 yards during the first half but wasn't called upon afterward, a byproduct of the Giants' inconsistent offense. With 37 straight made field goals, Gano is as reliable as kickers get, but his weekly involvement is difficult to project. Through three games, he now sports 24 points on the season.

  • Quiet in season opener

    Gano connected on his only extra-point attempt in Sunday's 27-13 loss to the Broncos.

    Analysis: Gano was only summoned once as the Giants' offense struggled in the season opener. After falling behind 20-7, New York kept Gano on the sideline on back-to-back drives as they went for it on fourth down. Gano is coming off an extremely efficient year where he was a perfect 26-for-26 inside the 50-yard line, but the 34-year-old's fantasy value this season will be largely reliant on Daniel Jones and company moving the ball.

The 33-year-old kicker continues to be automatic this year, as he's connected on 28 of 29 field-goal tries and has only misfired from 57 yards.

    Analysis: This was the first time since Week 8 that Gano didn't attempt more than one field goal, and his streak of 17 straight extra-point conversions also came to an end. However, his 48-yarder made a big difference in the five-point win, forcing the Seahawks to go for a touchdown instead of a field goal on their final drive. Gano will hope for more opportunities next week against the Cardinals.

    The Giants are hopeful that Gano (illness) will be available for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Gano still has to clear a number of benchmarks before he can come off the reserve/COVID-19 list, but it's at least an encouraging sign that the Giants aren't yet willing to rule him out for Week 12.

    Analysis: Gano drilled all three of his extra-point attempts before the kickoff and wasn't needed thereafter. The Eagles scored a go-ahead touchdown on the ensuing possession before Giants quarterback Daniel Jones coughed up a game-sealing fumble with less than 30 seconds left.

  • Drills three long kicks

    Gano connected on all four field-goal attempts and both extra-point attempts in Sunday's 37-34 loss to the Cowboys.

    Analysis: Only four kickers this season have made more than two field goals from beyond 50 yards, but Gano drilled three from that distance Sunday, adding a 25-yarder and two extra points for good measure. The 33-year-old kicker has now hit at least three field goals in three straight games, and he's missed just one kick all year. He gets plenty of opportunities even when facing good defenses, so he should be on fantasy radars in Week 6 against Washington.

The 33-year-old kicker has now connected on nine of 10 field goals this year, and his only miss was from 57 yards in Week 2. Although the Giants aren't moving the ball well right now, Gano's Week 5 matchup is encouraging, as the Cowboys have allowed a league-high 36.5 points per game.

Gano has now connected on six of seven field goals and both extra points this season. The Giants' lethargic offense is a concern for Gano's fantasy outlook, so he is a low-floor player moving forward.

    Analysis: Gano missed a 57-yard field goal wide left in the waning seconds of the first half, a mistake that is highlighted further by the Giants' four-point loss in which they were on the 10-yard line as time expired. Still, Gano has a strong track record, and his job won't be in jeopardy at this time. He'll look to bounce back in Week 3 versus the 49ers' depleted defense, although the Giants' offense will be without Saquon Barkley (knee) and possibly Sterling Shepard (toe) as well.

    Gano made his only field-goal attempt as well as his lone extra-point try in Monday night's 26-16 loss to the Steelers.

    Analysis: Gano converted from 21 yards to begin the game, giving the Giants their first three points of the season. The veteran was only called upon once after, however, as New York struggled with consistency offensively. Gano will hope to be more involved in Week 2 versus the Bears.

  • Set to kick for Giants

    With the Giants having released Chandler Catanzaro, Gano is now in line to serve as the team's placekicker, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Previously, it appeared as though Gano, who was released by the Panthers at the end of July, would need to compete with Catanzaro, but following Monday's move it looks like he'll serve as the Giants' kicker in 2020, a job held by Aldrick Rosas last season. Gano's fantasy upside is tied to the efficiency of the team's offense, helmed by second-year QB Daniel Jones.

  • Finds opportunity in Big Apple

    Gano will sign with the Giants once he passes a physical and COVID testing, Ralph Vacchiano of SportsNet New York reports.

    Analysis: Gano was cut by the Panthers on July 30 after losing the kicking competition to Joey Slye, but he didn't stay unemployed long. The 33-year-old Gano last played in 2018 when he connected on 14 of 16 (88 percent) of his field goals. He'll compete with Chandler Catanzaro for the Giants' starting kicker job once the deal is finalized.

  • Deemed healthy by former coach

    Gano (knee) -- who has been released by the Panthers -- was deemed healthy by coach Matt Rhule on Wednesday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Though the Panthers elected to go with Joey Slye as their kicker this season, a healthy Gano is capable of helping another NFL team looking to bolster the position. The 33-year-old missed the entire 2019 campaign while recovering from surgery on his non-kicking leg, but Rhule's statement Wednesday indicates that Gano is now past the issue.

  • Cut loose by Carolina

    The Panthers are cutting Gano (knee), Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gano made 85.6 percent of his field-goal attempts in seven seasons with the Panthers, but he missed the entire 2019 campaign while recovering from surgery on his non-kicking leg. His absence created an opening for Joey Slye, who struggled on shorter kicks but led the NFL with eight field goals of 50-plus yards. This move will clear out $2.8 million in 2020 cap space, though it comes with $1.5 million in dead-money charges for both this season and next. The 33-year-old Gano should get a look…read more

  • Competing for job

    Gano (knee) is expected to compete with Joey Slye for the Panthers' kicking job during training camp and the preseason, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Gano is still completing his rehab for the left knee surgery he underwent in November, but he looks like he'll be ready to stake his claim to kicking duties once the Panthers resume working out, according to Alaina Getzenberg of The Charlotte Observer. He had served as the Panthers' kicker since 2013 before being placed on injured reserve prior to the 2019 season. Slye ultimately replaced him and had an up-and-down debut season, converting 25 of 32 field-goal attempts -- including an 8-for-11…read more
