Graham Gano, K

More from Cat Crave

Kicker Graham Gano enjoyed a bounce back season last year after struggling during 2016 despite missing an early field goal attempt in the playoffs. The revamped Carolina offense should prove capable of moving the ball up and down the field but should the Cowboys stymie the Panthers inside his range, then Gano will get opportunities for points.

Gano also hasn’t missed a field goal inside of Bank of America Stadium since Week 5 of the 2016 season. Even when he struggled with accuracy issues throughout the year, he still managed to be true when kicking at home.

If you need a quality kicker to rely on during Week 1, look no further than Gano.
