Graham Gano DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

The New York Giants don't have any big contracts that they need to shed this offseason and are in a pretty healthy salary cap situation in 2025, but The Athletic's Dan Duggan suggests that kicker Graham Gano could still be a cap casualty as the Giants look to save a little extra money. The 37-year-old veteran is set to count $5.7 million against this year's cap and has missed 16 games because of injury the last two years. If the G-Men decide to cut the kicker, they'd save $3.2 million on the cap while creating $2.5 million in dead money. Gano injured his hamstring in Week 9 in 2024 and ended up playing in only 10 games, going 9-for-11 on his field-goal tries and 15-for-15 on extra points. He's been pretty reliable in his five seasons with New York, making 87.2% of his field goals, but the Giants wouldn't be blamed for looking to go younger at the position.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano looks to get going in Week 16 against the Atlanta Falcons after a quiet showing in Week 15, where he had no field goal attempts but made both PATs in a 35-14 loss to the Ravens. On the season, Gano has converted 6 of 8 field goals (75%) with a long of 50 yards. The Falcons' defense allows 24.4 points per game, ranking 25th in the league, which could create scoring opportunities if the Giants' offense can sustain drives.

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano has struggled with consistency this season, making just six of eight field goal attempts (75%) across six games, including a long of 50 yards. In Week 14 against the Saints, Gano converted a 43-yard field goal in the first half but had a critical 35-yard attempt blocked, costing the Giants a chance to force overtime. In Week 15, Gano faces a Ravens team allowing 24.5 points per game (24th in the league), which could present scoring opportunities if the Giants' offense can move the ball. However, with limited volume, Gano is a risky fantasy play and best left on the bench unless you're in dire need of a kicker.
