Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Harrison Mevis

Saturday, November 15, 4:41 PM

The New York Giants have signed kicker Younghoe Koo to the active roster ahead of Week 11's matchup against the Green Bay Packers. With Graham Gano (neck) on the injured reserve, Koo will likely serve the kicking duties for the remainder of the season. Koo made both field goal and extra point attempts in Week 10, even in the cold and windy conditions in Chicago. The Giants face the Green Bay Packers in Week 11, who have been an elite defense in 2025. With Jaxson Dart (concussion) out, and Jameis Winston under center, field goal opportunities could be rare in this one.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Harrison Mevis has been perfect in two games with his new team, but without attempting a field goal yet, he's tougher to trust in fantasy football. He's now 9-for-9 on extra points through two weeks, but without any attempts from longer range, he hasn't been able to rack up significant fantasy totals. With that being said, the Rams have one of the strongest offenses in football, which means scoring opportunities aren't hard to come by. Lately, their scoring drives have been resulting in touchdowns rather than stalling in field-goal range. This is a great problem to have if you're the Rams, but fantasy managers invested in Mevis' success would like to see him attempt some field goals sooner rather than later. It's only a matter of time before that happens, but it's not guaranteed this week; the Bucs have allowed the fourth-fewest field goal attempts to opposing kickers in 2025. Although Mevis has top-12 upside in the Rams' high-scoring offense, he's a very risky option. Managers should look for safer kickers who have an equally high ceiling when setting their Week 12 lineups.
