DraftKings NFL Week 11: Giants K Graham Gano (groin) added to injury report

Giants place kicker, Graham Gano, listed as questionable with a groin injury

The New York Giants added kicker Graham Gano to the injury report with a groin injury. Gano was listed as a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. The veteran kicker has been dealing with the injury for the past few weeks, but he has played through it. However, the Giants may be forced to turn to backup kicker Ryan Santoso if Gano is unable to play.

Gano is one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL

Gano has been one of the most accurate kickers in the NFL since joining the Giants in 2019. He has made 89.7% of his field goal attempts and 96.3% of his extra point attempts. Gano was named to the Pro Bowl in 2020 after making 29 of 32 field goal attempts. He is also one of the most experienced kickers in the NFL, having played 14 seasons.

Giants have a bye in Week 12

The Giants have a bye in Week 12, so they will have an extra week for Gano to rest his groin. The Giants are 6-4 this season and are in the thick of the NFC playoff race. They will need Gano to be healthy if they want to make a run at the playoffs.

Fantasy implications

If Gano is unable to play, Ryan Santoso will likely start in his place. Santoso has been with the Giants since 2021 and has made 8 of 11 field goal attempts. He is also a good extra point kicker, having made 37 of 38 attempts. Fantasy owners who have Gano on their roster should consider adding Santoso as a backup.
