2024 Fantasy Outlook
Gano was one of the best kickers in the NFL throughout his first three seasons with the Giants, making 91.8 percent of his field goal attempts between 2020 and 2022. He then got off to a bad start in 2023 -- including two missed FGs in Week 1 right after signing a contract extension -- with the struggles continuing until an injury to his non-kicking knee ended his season after Week 8 and led to surgery. The 37-year-old is due $5.085 million in guaranteed compensation for 2024, giving the Giants every incentive to bring him back even after an 11-for-17 showing on field goals in 2023. Fantasy value might be hard to come by even if he returns healthy and regains his form, as the Giants offense fell off hard between 2022 to 2023 and still appears lacking in terms of both QBs and playmakers.

Remains limited Thursday
Gano (right hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

Gano has been in the league since 2009 and was essentially an average kicker for eight years, but he led the league in FG percentage in 2017 and hasn't looked back since. He's converted at least 87.5 percent of FGAs and 90.9 percent of PATs each of his last five seasons, with nearly identical numbers for the former as the latter over that stretch while largely attached to lousy or mediocre offenses. The Giants improved under Brian Daboll last year, and a list of offseason additions led by TE Darren Waller could mean another step forward this year, though they still look shaky at wide receiver and on the interior offensive line. If nothing else, Gano has job security and accuracy working in his favor.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Still bothered by knee injury?
Ryan Dunleavy of New York Post Sports wonders whether Gano is still feeling the effects of the knee injury he suffered in the Giants' season opener.
ANALYSIS
Dunleavy points out that Gano made 89 of 97 field-goal attempts for the Giants from 2020-22 for a 91.8 percent success rate, but he's just 11 for 17 in 2023 for a 64.7 percent rate. Gano hurt his knee in Week 1 against Dallas but hasn't missed a game this season. His misses from 47 and 35 yards in Sunday's 13-10 overtime loss to the Jets proved pivotal, especially since his latter miss was followed immediately by a four-play, 58-yard Jets drive that was capped by a game-tying Greg Zuerlein field goal on the final play of the fourth quarter.
