Giants coach Brian Daboll said Monday that he'll know Wednesday whether Gano (hamstring) will be able to come off IR this week, Patricia Traina of SI.com reports.

Gano has been out the required four games after landing on injured reserve Sept. 17, but it's not certain that the veteran kicker will be ready to return this Sunday versus Philadelphia. Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports that Gano hasn't done much on the side while on IR, and he believes it'd be surprising if he suits up Week 7, but Daboll's comments leave open that possibility nonetheless. Daboll also indicated Monday that Greg Joseph -- who missed both his field-goal attempts Sunday in a loss to the Bengals -- probably will continue to kick for the team if Gano isn't back against the Eagles this weekend.

Narveson made two of three field-goal tries and all four extra points he attempted in Sunday's 34-13 victory over the Cardinals.

Narveson converted six of his seven scoring opportunities on a wet and dreary day at Lambeau Field, which isn't too shabby for most kickers. However, he finished less than perfect for the fourth time in six appearances with the Packers and is now just 12-for-17 on field-goal attempts -- and he has not even attempted a kick from further than 49 yards. Green Bay has given no indication it's considering a change at the kicker position, but Narveson's hold on the spot remains tenuous.

Carlson converted his only extra-point try in Sunday's 32-13 loss to the Steelers.

The Raiders did not attempt a single field goal in a game for the first time this season Sunday, leaving Carlson with just one tally in the box score on an extra point that came after a three-yard Alexander Mattison rushing touchdown on the team's opening drive. Carlson could have more opportunities to put points on the board in a friendlier matchup against the Rams at SoFi Stadium in Week 7.

Joseph missed both of his field-goal attempts in Sunday's Week 6 loss to Cincinnati, but coach Brian Daboll said Monday that Joseph will continue to be the team's kicker if Graham Gano (hamstring) isn't ready to return Week 7 versus Philadelphia, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.

Joseph's pair of misses against the Bengals weren't excessively challenging by NFL standards -- he was wide left on both a 47-yarder early in the fourth quarter and a 45-yarder with under a minute left in the contest. Nonetheless, Daboll's comments suggest that New York may not be looking to try out another kicker with Gano's return from injured reserve looming. Gano is eligible to be activated this week, though Duggan believes "it'd be a surprise" if the veteran kicker is ready to return Sunday. That means Joseph is probably going to be the Giants' kicker for at least one more week, but he's not a particularly appealing fantasy option considering his performance Week 6. Joseph did go 8-for-8 on field-goal tries across Weeks 4 and 5, however, and he's made all six of his extra-point attempts across four contests.

Koo made all three of his field-goal tries and all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-20 win over the Panthers.

Koo didn't attempt a kick beyond 35 yards but still delivered a quality performance for fantasy managers. It was also a nice bounce-back effort from the veteran after he went 3-for-5 on field-goal tries in Week 5, including a blocked 54-yarder. The Falcons' offense has picked up steam, scoring 74 points over the last two weeks, so Koo should remain a strong play moving forward.

Indianapolis signed Shrader to its practice squad Monday.

Shrader was cut from the Colts' practice squad less than a week ago, but he's now back on board after clearing waivers. As long as Matt Gay is available, it's not likely Shrader will be suiting up for game action any time soon.

Boswell made all four of his field-goal attempts and both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 32-13 win at Las Vegas.

The veteran has been nearly perfect to start the year, and as of the end of the day Sunday, his 16 made field goals on the season are good for second in the league behind only Brandon Aubrey (17). As long as Pittsburgh's offense can move the ball into scoring range, Boswell is about as good a bet as any kicker to make good on his chances.

Little made his only field-goal attempt and converted his only extra-point try during Sunday's 35-16 loss against the Bears.

Little opened up the scoring in London with a 30-yard field goal late in the first quarter, but things quickly got out of hand for the Jaguars from there. Chicago's defense has been good, but Jacksonville has struggled to move the ball against lesser units as well, putting a hard cap on Little's fantasy value.

McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and converted both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-7 win at the Giants.

Not much offense was generated by either team at MetLife in Week 6, but McPherson did what little was asked of him to help get the Bengals to their second win of the season. He'll hope to see more chances in Week 7 at Cleveland.

Seibert made three of his four field-goal attempts and converted on both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-23 loss at Baltimore.

The Ravens' Ben Cleveland actually got a paw on Seibert's 52-yard try at the end of the first half to block it, but it still goes down in the books as the kicker's first blemish of the year. He had a great game for fantasy purposes, though, and it seems like he should be a solid option at kicker as long as the Commanders continue to score at a high clip.
