Graham Gano released by Panthers

Jul 30, 2020

According to Graham Gano’s wife on Instagram, the veteran kicker has been released by the Carolina Panthers. The report was later confirmed by Joseph Person of the Athletic, and Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.

Fantasy Impact:

The Panthers will save $2.75 million by cutting Graham Gano. The move comes as little surprise as Carolina already has a cheaper, more effective option in-house in sophomore Joey Slye ($675K). Slye did miss some big kicks, but was otherwise highly impressive as a rookie, making moving on from Gano a no-brainer. Gano will look to latch on with another team once he is fully recovered from the knee injury that landed him on injured reserve prior to Week 1 of the 2019 season. Slye is our 22nd ranked kicker for the 2020 season.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
