Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Younghoe Koo

Monday, October 13, 7:07 PM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos (thigh) has been ruled out for the Week 6 game on Monday night against the Washington Commanders. Santos drew a questionable tag on Saturday despite three full practices this week, and now he has been ruled out. The Bears elevated kicker Jake Moody from their practice squad to the active 53-man roster before the game, so he is in line to make his debut with Chicago on Monday Night Football. The 25-year-old Moody was cut by the San Francisco 49ers after going 1-for-3 in the season opener. Moody's struggles from last year continued in Week 1 in the Bay Area, but now he'll get another shot to prove himself with the Bears, with Santos injured. It could just be a one-week showcase, though, if Santos is ready to kick again for the team's Week 7 game against the New Orleans Saints.

New York Giants kicker Younghoe Koo is not expected to join the team's active roster after Jude McAtamney was elevated from the practice squad on Saturday. Koo and McAtamney were competing for a roster spot amidst an injury to Graham Gano (groin). Initially, reports indicated that Koo had won the job, but that's evidently not the case after McAtamney was signed to the 53-man roster and Koo was left on the practice squad. It goes without saying that fantasy managers should leave Koo on waivers in all fantasy leagues.
