Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Jake Moody

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.

Former San Francisco 49ers kicker Jake Moody is signing with the Chicago Bears practice squad on Friday, a source told Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. After struggling in the Week 1 win over the Seattle Seahawks last Sunday, the Niners cut Moody earlier this week. Moody is going to need to kick better to have a shot at replacing the veteran Cairo Santos after Santos missed one of his two field-goal tries in the season-opening loss to the Minnesota Vikings on Monday night. The 25-year-old Moody missed two of his three field goals in Week 1, continuing a downward trend after a solid rookie campaign in 2023. Right now, the former third-rounder will just be insurance for Santos in Chicago, and he should remain on the waiver wire in all leagues. Moody has made 74.2% of his 62 field-goal attempts in his three years in the NFL and 97.9% of his extra-point tries.
