The Giants added Gano (groin) to their injury report Saturday, but he doesn't have an injury designation and will play Sunday versus Washington, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.

This is the first report of the veteran kicker dealing with a groin injury, but the issue doesn't appear to be serious since Gano wasn't given an injury designation. Nonetheless, fantasy managers who roster Gano may want to seek an alternate option since there's a chance that the issue could impact how New York elects to deploy him, especially in situations that would typically call for a long field-goal try. As it is, Gano's fantasy standing is shaky given the state of New York's offense -- the team put up only six points (all on Gano field goals) Week 1 against Minnesota.

Bass converted one of two field-goal attempts during Thursday's 31-10 win over the Dolphins. He also made all four of his extra-point tries.

Bass missed a field-goal try wide left from 45 yards out in the fourth quarter, but his number of extra-point attempts bolstered his production for a second straight week. As long as Josh Allen and the Bills offense can keep up its momentum, Bass will benefit from plentiful scoring opportunities again Week 3 against the Jaguars on Monday Night Football.

Sanders converted his only-field goal attempt and his lone extra-point try during Thursday night's 31-10 loss to the Bills.

The Dolphins' offense struggled mightily Thursday, leaving Sanders to cope with a game script that demanded the team to forsake field-goal opportunities. With Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) looking uncertain to play Week 3 against Seattle, and potentially longer, Sanders' scoring prospects could be minimized by a limited offense for the foreseeable future.

Gay (sports hernia) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Gay sat out the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Texans while recovering from sports hernia surgery, but head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Wednesday that the kicker is "good to go" for Sunday's road matchup in Green Bay, per George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin. During the 2023 season, Gay appeared in all 17 games and converted 33 of 41 field-goal attempts -- including an 8-for-13 mark from 50-plus yards -- while knocking down 35 of 36 extra-point tries.

Dicker connected on all three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 22-10 win over the Raiders.

Dicker was the Chargers' only source of points through three quarters, hitting field goals from 53, 25 and 24 yards out, one in each quarter. The Texas product's PAT would come on a J.K. Dobbins touchdown to start the fourth quarter that gave the Chargers the lead for good.

Koo made his only extra-point try and field goal attempt in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

Koo kicked a 24-yard field goal on the Falcons' opening drive, then added the extra point on a Kyle Pitts touchdown late in the second quarter. Other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Georgia Southern product remained on the sideline for the remainder of the matchup. Next up for Koo and the Falcons is a Week 2 matchup on MNF against the Eagles.

Head coach Shane Steichen stated that Gay (sports hernia) is "good to go" for Sunday's game against the Packers, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

Gay is expected to return to practice Wednesday after being out of action since undergoing surgery, according to James Boyd of The Athletic. The Utah product was replaced by Spencer Shrader for Week 1's loss to the Texans, who has since reverted to the team's practice squad. However, an official word on who will be kicking for the Colts in Week 2 won't come until Gay is absent from the team's injury report.

Zuerlein made his lone PAT attempt and didn't attempt a field goal in Monday's 32-19 loss to the 49ers.

Zuerlein's coming off a strong season in which he made 35 of 38 field-goal attempts, but the veteran kicker didn't get a chance to show off his big leg Monday as San Francisco dominated time of possession. Forced to play catch-up, the Jets went for two after two of their three touchdowns. Zuerlein will hope to get more opportunities in Week 2 against the Titans.

Joseph was added to the Lions' practice squad Tuesday according to his agent, reports Brett Tessler.

Joseph, a seven-year veteran, spent the prior three seasons with the Vikings. He subsequently competed for the Packers' kicking job during the offseason but was ultimately cut. Detroit's kicker, Jake Bates, was a perfect 2-for-2 on field-goal attempts in his debut in Week 1. Joseph would now be in line to fill in should he be required to do so.

Moody converted six-of-six field-goal attempts and both of his point-after tries in Monday's 32-19 win over the Jets.

The 49ers' offense moved the ball well Monday while struggling to finish off drives, providing ample opportunities for Moody to post a monster fantasy score. The 2023 third-round pick made 84 percent of his field-goal attempts as a rookie and is off to a tremendous start following his Week 1 output. Moody should be considered a strong fantasy option heading into Sunday's tilt against the Vikings.
