Gano made both of his extra-point attempts and didn't try a field goal against the Ravens in a 35-14 Week 15 loss. Gano converted when called upon, but that included only a pair of point-after attempts. The veteran kicker hasn't had more than two field-goal tries in any of his seven contests this season and has struggled to put up points for a Giants offense that ranks last in the league in putting up just 14.9 points per game. Though New York's Week 16 opponent -- Atlanta -- isn't among the NFL's top defenses, the overall state of the Giants' offense doesn't provide confidence that Gano will get many more opportunities next Sunday.

Gano made both of his extra-point attempts and didn't try a field goal against the Ravens in a 35-14 Week 15 loss. Gano converted when called upon, but that included only a pair of point-after attempts. The veteran kicker hasn't had more than two field-goal tries in any of his seven contests this season and has struggled to put up points for a Giants offense that ranks last in the league in putting up just 14.9 points per game. Though New York's Week 16 opponent -- Atlanta -- isn't among the NFL's top defenses, the overall state of the Giants' offense doesn't provide confidence that Gano will get many more opportunities next Sunday.
Gano went 1-of-2 on field-goal attempts and didn't try an extra point in a 14-11 loss to New Orleans on Sunday. Gano put the Giants on the board with a 43-yard field goal in the second quarter, but he wasn't asked to attempt the extra point when New York scored its lone touchdown late in the fourth, as the team elected to try for a two-point conversion (which they succeeded on). The veteran kicker got the opportunity to tie the game up with 11 seconds remaining in regulation with a 35-yard field-goal attempt, but the Saints blocked the kick, resulting in the Giants' eighth consecutive loss. The blocked kick can't be pinned on Gano -- Saints defender Bryan Bresee leaped over New York's offensive line to get his hand on the ball -- but it meant that Gano has made less than two field goals in four of the six contests he's suited up for this season. With the Giants' offense struggling to put up points, Gano isn't an appealing fantasy target in all but the deepest of leagues.
Gano converted both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries in Thursday's loss to Dallas. Gano's field goals came from 46 and 47 yards out, respectively. It was the first time the veteran kicker has made multiple field goals in a game since Week 1. Gano missed seven contests earlier this season due to a hamstring injury, but he appears to be back to full health. However, the tepid state of New York's offense makes Gano a shaky option in fantasy leagues.
Gano did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in Sunday's 30-7 Week 12 loss to Tampa Bay. In New York's first game this season with Tommy DeVito as the starter at quarterback, the team was unable to put up any points until early in the fourth quarter. Gano followed that Devin Singletary touchdown plunge with a successful extra point, but it was the only time he had a chance to kick for points in the game. Since returning from injured reserve Week 10, Gano has attempted only two field goals (making one) over two games. DeVito figures to remain under center moving forward, and the state of the Giants offense as a whole gives Gano a low floor and ceiling when looking ahead to the remainder of the campaign.
Gano went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's Week 10 loss to Carolina in Germany. Gano returned to action for the first time since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 2. The veteran kicker's first chance at putting up points went awry, as he drove a 43-yard field-goal try wide right in the second quarter. Gano managed to bounce back from there, converting both of his extra-point attempts before drilling a clutch 42-yard field goal in the final 10 seconds of the fourth period to send the game into overtime. Despite his early miss Sunday, Gano seems to be recovered from the hamstring issue, and he'll almost certainly be the Giants' placekicker against Tampa Bay in Week 12 following New York's Week 11 bye.
Gano (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers in Munich, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. Gano had been listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but the Giants' decision to activate him from injured reserve Saturday while not elevating Jude McAtamney from the practice squad hinted that Gano was on track to be available in Germany. Before injuring his hamstring on the opening kickoff of a Week 2 loss to the Commanders and landing on IR, Gano converted both of his field-goal tries -- including one from 50 yards -- in New York's Week 1 loss to Minnesota.
The Giants activated Gano (hamstring) from injured reserve Saturday, and he's slated to return to action Sunday versus Carolina, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports. This had been the expectation since Gano was designated to return from IR on Wednesday and logged a limited practice that day. The veteran kicker was limited again both Thursday and Friday, setting up his return to action Sunday against the Panthers. Gano has played in just two games this season, going 2-for-2 on field-goal tries in Week 1 against Minnesota before getting hurt on the opening kickoff Week 2 versus Washington. Jude McAtamney took over as New York's placekicker in Week 9 after Greg Joseph (abdomen) landed on IR, and McAtamney remains on the Giants' practice squad as organizational kicking depth.
Gano (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports. Gano hasn't kicked since Week 2 but is eligible to be activated in time to kick versus Carolina, his former team. If Gano isn't activated Saturday, Jude McAtamney would be the kicker for New York.
Gano (right hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports. In the wake of New York designating him for return from injured reserve Wednesday, Gano has put together back-to-back capped sessions as he tests out the right hamstring that he strained on the opening kickoff of a Week 2 matchup with the Commanders. If Gano isn't able to get back on the active roster for Sunday's contest against the Panthers in Germany, Jude McAtamney would be elevated from the practice squad to handle kicking duties.
