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.
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 remaining on his current contract and figures to be the Giants' primary placekicker again next season.

Giants' Graham Gano: Makes both kicks Week 18
Rotowire
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.
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 third time in the past five seasons he's hit more than 90 percent of his attempts. When the Giants take on Minnesota in the wild-card round next weekend, it will be the veteran kicker's first postseason appearance since 2017.

Giants' Graham Gano: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Gano had no field goal attempts and just two PATs in Week 14 against the Eagles, and that was with New York trying to compete in that game. This week, the Giants could be resting players to get ready for the playoffs since they are locked into the No. 6 seed in the NFC. Only six kickers have made multiple field goals against Philadelphia all season, and Gano might not get enough support in this matchup if Daniel Jones and Saquon Barkley, among others, aren't playing.

Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect in big Week 17 win
Rotowire
Gano converted his lone field-goal try and all five of his extra-point attempts Sunday in the Giants' 38-10 victory versus Indianapolis.
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.

Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect on kicks in Week 16 loss
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Graham Gano: Kicker to Start
Rotowire
You want a kicker indoors in Week 16 given the weather conditions for this week, and Gano has that in Minnesota. It helps that the Vikings also have allowed the most Fantasy points to opposing kickers this season, and five kickers in the past six games have made at least four field goals against Minnesota. In fact, Tyler Bass, Brett Maher, Nick Folk, Greg Zuerlein, Mike Badgley and Chase McLaughlin have all scored at least 10 Fantasy points against the Vikings in the past six games. Gano has top-five upside this week, and he has scored at least 10 Fantasy points in two of his past four games.

Giants' Graham Gano: Comes through in huge win
Rotowire
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.
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 50-plus yards. The seven makes from that distance tie the single-season career-high mark he set last season.

Giants' Graham Gano: No field-goal tries Sunday
Rotowire
Gano made both of his extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal Week 14 in a loss to the Eagles.
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 look for more opportunities against Washington in Week 15.

Giants' Graham Gano: Misses potential game-winning FG
Rotowire
Gano converted two field goals on three attempts and made both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-20 tie with Washington.
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.

Giants' Graham Gano: Rebounds with strong Week 12
Rotowire
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.
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 his reliability moving forward.

Giants' Graham Gano: Comes up empty in Week 11
Rotowire
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.
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.
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.

Giants' Graham Gano: Makes all four kicks in Week 10
Rotowire
Gano make his lone field-goal attempt and all three extra-point tries Sunday in a Week 10 win over the Texans.
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.

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

Giants' Graham Gano: Perfect on kicks in Week 7
Rotowire
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.
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 margins and an offense that has put up no more than 27 points thus far, Gano's reliable kicking -- he's 15-for-17 on field-goal tries and 13-for-13 on extra-point attempts -- looms especially large.

Giants' Graham Gano: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
Gano scored at least 14 Fantasy points in two of his first three games this season. Since then, he's scored nine Fantasy points or less in three games in a row, including just six points in Week 6 against the Ravens. He also has combined for 10 Fantasy points in two games on the road. The Giants get the Jaguars this week, who are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers. No kicker has scored more than eight Fantasy points against Jacksonville this year.

Giants' Graham Gano: Scores six points Week 6
Rotowire
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.
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.

Giants' Graham Gano: Kicker to Start
Rotowire
Gano made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra point attempts in Week 5 against the Packers in London. He's now 11-for-13 on field goal attempts this season and perfect on eight PAT attempts. Gano has had at least three field goal attempts in three of the Giants last four games. The Giants offense is moving the ball as well as they have in a long time. Expect that to continue on Sunday against the Ravens, and Gano should have a good chance to keep contributing for Fantasy managers.
