Giants' Dominic Zvada: Nails four short field goals vs. Tennessee
Rotowire
Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Neither team could generate that much offense in tough conditions Sunday, but Zvada helped the Giants build and maintain their lead with four field goals, all of which came from within 40 yards. The rookie kicker has made all six of his field-goal attempts and each of his four extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Makes both FGA in Week 2 loss
Rotowire
Zvada made both of his field-goal attempts in Monday's 28-6 loss to the Rams.
Zvada converted kicks of 24 and 52 yards, accounting for all of the Giants' points. The rookie kicker is a perfect 2-for-2 on field goals and 4-for-4 on PATs through two games, but his fantasy appeal was dealt a major blow after Jaxson Dart suffered a knee injury that is expected to sideline him indefinitely.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Four PATs in debut
Rotowire
Zvada made all four of his PATs and attempted no field goals in Sunday's 28-20 win over the Cowboys.
Zvada displayed consistency as he knocked in all four point-after tries during his NFL debut. The kicker has yet to be tested from any range, however, and it remains unclear how the undrafted rookie out of Michigan will handle the longer challenges he will face in the NFL.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Earns kicking job for Giants
Rotowire
Zvada, per head coach John Harbaugh, will open the season as the Giants' kicker, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Zvada had been competing with Ben Sauls, but the former took every kick in Friday's preseason game and sewed up the job by going a perfect 3-of-3 on field goals and 2-on-2 on extra points. The rookie appears to have gotten back on track following a less-than-stellar senior season at Michigan, and he will now get a shot to show what he can do in the professional ranks.

Giants' Dominic Zvada: Could earn No. 1 kicker role
Rotowire
Zvada and Ben Sauls are expected to compete during training camp for the Giants' primary kicker role, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Sauls emerged as the Giants' kicker down the stretch last season, when he made all eight of his field-goal tries and all seven of his PATs in Weeks 16-18. Meanwhile, Zvada went unselected during April's NFL Draft but signed with New York following a standout college career that included setting a Michigan record with seven field goals of 50-plus yards (on seven attempts) over 13 games in 2024. Zvada was less effective as a senior, but his big leg drew the attention of the Giants, and he'll at least have a chance to push Sauls for the starting job in training camp. It initially looked like it would be a three-man competition, but the Giants cut veteran kicker Jason Sanders -- who has since signed with the Jets -- in early June.
