Who Should I Start? Graham Gano or Younghoe Koo

New York Giants kicker Graham Gano (knee) needs surgery for a left-knee injury and is likely out for the rest of the season. The Giants officially placed him on Injured Reserve on Saturday. Veteran Randy Bullock was signed and eventually elevated to the active roster, but he didn't have a single kicking opportunity in the 30-6 Week 9 loss to the Las Vegas Raiders. The G-Men also added Cade York last week, but he was inactive on Sunday. In eight games for the Giants this year before his knee injury, the 36-year-old Gano made 11 of his 17 field-goal attempts and made all eight of his extra-point tries. Bullock and York could continue to compete for the starting kicking job on game days on Sundays, but fantasy managers should avoid the situation entirely.

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.
