Newsbreakers
November 30, 2008
Kicker John Carney is active for the Week 13 game against the Redskins.

Our View:The weather conditions in D.C. may not be great on Sunday, and the Giants turned to Lawrence Tynes in Week 11 when the weather was rough. Anyway, fantasy owners can stick with Carney this Sunday.
November 16, 2008
Week 11 inactives: K John Carney, RB Danny Ware, CB Kevin Dockery, LB Jonathan Goff, LB Gerris Wilkinson, OL Adam Koets, WR Mario Manningham, DE Jerome McDougle.

Our View:Lawrence Tynes replaced Carney due to the heavy winds in New York. There are no other surprises here.
November 1, 2008
Coach Tom Coughlin has said that his placekicker for Sunday's game against the Cowboys will be a game-time decision between John Carney and Lawrence Tynes, according to the New York Post.

Our View:We're betting that it is Carney who is 18-for-19 on field goals for the Giants this season while Tynes has yet to kick a meaningful field goal. The coach's wait-and-see approach is particularly frustrating for fantasy owners.
October 26, 2008
John Carney had a big game on Sunday, making all four of his field goal attempts and an extra point.

Our View:The Giants' inability to find the end zone was Carney's gain. He will continue to be the team's kicker as long as Lawrence Tynes is hurt.
October 24, 2008
John Carney will remain the Giants' kicker this weekend against the Steelers, according to the NY Daily News.

Our View:He has lost range on his kicks, but is still accurate as he has hit 14-of-15 field goal attempts, while scoring 60 points. It will be tough to score touchdowns at Heinz Field, meaning Carney could register a few more field goals this weekend.
October 19, 2008
John Carney is expected to start over Lawrence Tynes today as the Giants' placekicker, according to FOX Sports.

Our View:Carney has lost distance on kickoffs, but remains an accurate kicker, as he hit all 12 of his field goal attempts so far this season. He has scored 51 points.
October 13, 2008
John Carney will be the Giants' placekicker over Lawrence Tynes for Monday's game at Cleveland, according to NFL.com.

Our View:Carney has hit all 12 of his field goal attempts so far in 2008, and has been a strong fantasy option with 49 points scored overall.
October 5, 2008
John Carney has yet to miss a kick in 2008 and on Sunday he kicked five extra points and was three-for-three kicking field goals.

Our View:Carney has filled in great for injured Lawrence Tynes. With the Giants offense clicking on all cylinders, Carney has plenty of opportunities to kick.
September 27, 2008
John Carney is 9-for-9 on field goals while filling in for the injured Lawrence Tynes. Last week, he hit the game-winner in overtime against the Bengals. The Giants will have to make a tough decision when Tynes returns, which should be in Week 5.

Our View:Tynes has greater leg strength, but it's hard to find a more consistent kicker than Carney. Keep an eye on the situation closely if you own either kicker.
September 4, 2008
John Carney was a perfect 3-for-3 Thursday night against the Redskins. He connected from 24, 25, and 47 yards and added an extra point.

Our View:Although Carney looked good he is only filling in for an injured Lawrence Tynes. Therefore, he will be demoted as soon as Tynes returns, which could be any day now.
August 31, 2008
The Giants have signed John Carney to handle placekicking duties in Thursday's season-opener against Washington, according to the NY Post.

Our View:Lawrence Tynes is not available due to his left knee injury.
March 29, 2008
The Broncos have had some talks with John Carney's representative this week, though nothing appears imminent, according to the Rocky Mountain News. The club is looking for a kicker for the first time in 15 years, now that Jason Elam has left for Atlanta.
