Player Notes

February 10, 2009
The Giants will go with Lawrence Tynes as their placekicker in 2009, and part ways with John Carney, according to the NY Daily News.

Our View:Carney enjoyed a solid season with New York in 2008, but will turn 45 this year, and has lost distance on his kickoffs.

January 9, 2009
The AP reports that the Giants may activate Lawrence Tynes for Sunday's game against the Eagles. John Carney would still handle field goal duties, but Tynes would kickoff. Tynes said Coughlin has not indicated that he will play, so he is not optimistic. He is ready though. “I would like to contribute in the playoffs, even if it is just kicking off,” Tynes said.

Our View:Carney's kickoffs continue to get shorter. The Giants are hoping that perhaps Tynes' kicks would help neutralize some of the Eagles' effective return game.

December 7, 2008
Week 14 inactives: K Lawrence Tynes, RB Danny Ware, CB Sam Madison, LB Jonathan Goff, OT Adam Koets, DT Jeremy Clark, DT Leger Douzable, DE Jerome McDougle.

Our View:Ahmad Bradshaw, Corey Webster, Fred Robbins, and Shaun O'Hara are all active. The Giants are in good shape for this home game against the Eagles.

November 17, 2008
Neither Lawrence Tynes nor John Carney will be named the permanent kicker for the New York Giants, as the team will make a decision on who will kick for them on a game-by-game basis, the New York Daily News reports. "I’m not going to say it’s one way or the other. It’s a week to week or game to game decision," said Giants coach Tom Coughlin.

Our View:Now fantasy owners have a Denver running back/Mike Shanahan situation with kickers. If you are really devoted to having a Giants kicker on your roster, then you'll have to monitor the situation every Sunday. Otherwise, it may be easier just to get another kicker off the waiver wire.

November 16, 2008
Kicker Lawrence Tynes is active and will start over John Carney for the Week 11 game against the Ravens. They prefer Tynes's stronger leg over Carney due to the windy conditions.

Our View:Fantasy owners who've been using Carney need to make a late switch.
