Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Eddy Piñeiro

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.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Eddy Pineiro has evolved from a streaming option into a weekly starter. Pineiro now ranks third among kickers in total fantasy points and is at the top of the leaderboard in fantasy points per game. In San Francisco's 20-10 win over Atlanta last week, Pineiro was good on all four of his kicks. He connected on both extra point attempts as well as his field goal tries, the first from 55 yards out and the second from 43. The 55-yarder was his fifth field goal from 50 or more yards away, tying his previous season-long best, set in 2023. In Week 8, Pineiro runs into the Houston Texans, who have seen opponents make just four field goals on ten attempts. San Francisco has done well at advancing into enemy territory, so even if they struggle against Houston's elite defense, Pineiro should be set up for another good day.
