Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (illness) was added to the injury report on Saturday and is officially questionable to play against the Carolina Panthers in Week 15. While Koo practiced in full all week long, it appears that he started experiencing symptoms sometime this weekend. On a positive note, the Falcons opted against signing a kicker to their active roster, so it appears they're confident that Koo will play. If active, he ranks as a top-10 kicking option versus the Panthers' suspect defense.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (back) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 12 injury report. Koo will be active and kick for the Falcons despite not practicing on Wednesday with a back ailment. The Falcons even signed kicker Matt Ammendola as insurance earlier this week in case the 29-year-old Koo wasn't able to play this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints. Koo is one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL, as he's missed just one field-goal attempt and one extra point this year. However, due to the Falcons' sluggish offense and instability at the quarterback position, Koo has mostly been a low-end kicking option in fantasy lineups. Hopefully Desmond Ridder returning under center for Atlanta will help them move the ball more consistently.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (back) upgraded to a limited participant in practice on Thursday. It's still too early to tell whether he might be able to play in Week 12 versus the New Orleans Saints, but this update is a good sign nonetheless. If active, Koo would rank as a top-12 fantasy kicker. Otherwise, Matthew Wright would likely be elevated from the practice squad.
Nov 23, 2023 4:37 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (back) did not practice on Wednesday due to a back issue. This is a situation worth monitoring for fantasy managers as Koo has been one of the better kickers in the NFL this season. He's nailed 95.5% of his kicks this year, which includes going 3-for-3 on kicks of 50 yards or more. The Falcons will likely give him all of the rest he needs to make sure he is ready for their Week 12 divisional contest against the Saints. However, fantasy managers should have a backup plan readily available.

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo was quiet to start the season, but has seen an increased workload lately. The veteran kicker has made three field goals in back-to-back games. He should continue to be involved during the Week 9 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. The Falcons offense should get plenty of chances to do something considering the Vikings offense is without Kirk Cousins (Achilles) right now. Koo has made 16-of-17 field goal attempts this season heading into this game. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable with him as their kicker for this week.
Nov 3, 2023 10:17 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo hasn't seen much action lately, but was able to get significantly involved during Sunday's Week 7 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The veteran kicker knocked down all three of his field goal attempts during Sunday's game. His last kick was a 51-yarder that was a game winner for Atlanta. Fantasy managers who held onto Koo finally got some value out of him after a slow start to the season. He should remain a viable option versus the Tennessee Titans next week.
Oct 22, 2023 10:10 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo has been a reliable option, but his lack of kicking chances is hurting his fantasy value. Koo has made one or fewer field goal attempts in half his games this season. That's not a good sign considering Koo has only missed one attempt all season. The 29-year-old isn't getting enough chances, which makes him hard to trust for fantasy purposes. The hope is that it gets better against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in Week 7. Fantasy managers without a better kicker should continue to ride with Koo for at least one more week.
Oct 20, 2023 10:42 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo had a perfect week during the win over the Houston Texans last week. He knocked down both his field goal attempts, while connecting on his lone extra point attempt as well. The 29-year-old has been a reliable kicker since joining the Falcons in 2019. Sadly, the Falcons offense has struggled to move the ball this season, which has limited Koo's value. However, the Falcons offense has a favorable matchup against the Washington Commanders defense in Week 6. That being said, Koo should get involved, so fantasy managers should feel fine starting him.
Oct 13, 2023 9:33 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo is looking to bounce back after a quiet day in Week 4. Koo didn't attempt a field goal and made his only extra point attempt in the loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars last week. Koo has been a reliable option, but the lack of opportunities is hurting his fantasy value. Hopefully, the Falcons are able to move the ball better versus the Houston Texans this week. Koo is worth streaming here, but he could become droppable if the Falcons don't start moving the ball on offense.
Oct 6, 2023 9:26 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo will look to turn it around in Week 4 after missing kicks in back-to-back games. The All-Pro kicker made 2-of-3 field goal attempts last week in the loss to the Detroit Lions. Before that, Koo missed an extra point attempt in the season opener, but fantasy managers shouldn't panic. Koo has been a reliable option for quite some time. He'll look to rebound against the Jacksonville Jaguars in Week 4. Fantasy managers should feel comfortable using Koo as a streaming option.
Sep 29, 2023 9:59 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo missed one of his two extra point attempts but connected on all four of his field goal attempts in the win over the Green Bay Packers in Week 2. Koo has had plenty of fantasy value over the last few seasons and should continue to be trusted in fantasy lineups, despite a rare missed point after try last week. Atlanta could score plenty of points on the lowly Detroit Lions' defense in Week 3, so start the former Pro Bowler in fantasy lineups with confidence in this matchup.
Sep 20, 2023 9:53 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo went a perfect 4-for-4 on field goals in the team's 25-24 victory over the Green Bay Packers. That included the game-winning kick late in the fourth quarter. He did, however, miss one of his two extra-point attempts. Koo's longest field goal came from 39 yards out, so there were no bonus points for long kicks for fantasy managers this week. The 29-year-old continues to be one of the more consistent kickers in the game and can be trusted again in Week 3 when the Detroit Lions host Atlanta.
Sep 18, 2023 9:46 AM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo converted all three extra point attempts and nailed a 49-yard field goal in Week 1 against the Carolina Panthers. Koo finished with the fifth most points among kickers last season, and will likely contend for a similar finish this year. Next, he faces the Green Bay Packers, who allowed two field goals in their own season opener against the Chicago Bears. Koo should fare well in his home dome and should be started in Week 2.
Sep 14, 2023 2:56 PM EST
Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo nailed all three of his extra-point attempts as well as a 49-yard field goal in Sunday's 24-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. The 29-year-old pushed a game-tying FG through the uprights in the third quarter. Koo's combination of volume and accuracy has helped rank him as a top-five fantasy kicker in two of the past three years, so he'll likely project as a strong option on a weekly basis headed forward. The former Pro Bowler gets the Green Bay Packers at home in Week 2, making Koo a fine choice while playing indoors despite what may not forecast as a high-scoring meeting.
