Dominic Zvada wins the Giants kicking job

Giants head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Friday night that undrafted free agent Dominic Zvada, K, New York Giants, has won the team's starting kicker competition, beating out Ben Sauls.

Harbaugh made the announcement in his postgame press conference after Friday's game. Zvada made field goals of 23, 53, and 46 yards against the Jets and converted both of his extra point attempts, per CBS Sports.

What this means for your roster

If you're in a kicker-required league, Zvada is now the Giants' kicker going into the regular season. Sauls is off the depth chart for this job. Add Zvada, drop Sauls if you held him through camp.
