Colts face an uncertain short-term future at kicker after Spencer Shrader suffered a knee injury on an extra point against the Raiders. Indy is weighing a slate of free-agent options, from familiar faces to veteran kickers with recent NFL experience, as they prepare for a Week 5 tilt with the Cardinals. The pool includes Blankenship, Gonzalez, Hopkins, Joseph, Koo, Sauls, Trujillo and Wright, with workouts and team checks already underway.

The names bring a mix of leg strength, accuracy histories and past familiarity with the Colts’ system. Indy could lean toward a quick-integration candidate or a veteran with a reliable track record, depending on Shrader’s status and the team’s Week 5 travel plans. A decisive move could come ahead of game day.

Meanwhile, teams around the league are monitoring the situation and vetting options, highlighting how mid-season kicking instability can swing late-season fantasy and betting angles. Expect updates as a decision nears for the Colts’ kicking duties this Sunday.

Jude McAtamney will kickoff for the New York Giants on Sunday vs. the Los Angeles Chargers, taking over for Graham Gano who is on Injured Reserve with a groin injury (out at least four games). McAtamney beat out Younghoe Koo for Week 4 duties after a brief appearance last season. The Giants also shuffled the roster, elevating Neville Hewitt and Jude McAtamney, adding Elijah Garcia and Tomon Fox, and keeping Dante Miller off the active roster.

In the backfield, Devin Singletary and Cam Skattebo will handle most of the carries with Tyrone Tracy Jr. not on IR, suggesting a return window is possible. The kicking situation creates volatility for fantasy managers, while the two-back depth and evolving special-teams plans add risk in Week 4 against a Chargers squad ready to strike offensively.

Younghoe Koo returns to the New York Giants for a pivotal Week 14 kicking audition, competing with Jude McAtamney as the Giants prep to face the Los Angeles Chargers. A reporter’s mislabel linked Jaxson Dart to the spotlight instead of the kicking battle, but the real drama is the precision and leg distance Koo must deliver to secure the job. The outcome will shape Giants’ late-season scoring stability and fantasy kicker upside.

The homecoming narrative hides a high-stakes evaluation: consistency under pressure, handling long-range attempts, and matching the Chargers’ scoring tempo. If Koo wins the job, expect a more reliable fantasy floor for Giants’ drives and more kick opportunities that could sway weekly kicker rankings in playoff pools.
