Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Jason Sanders

Sunday, December 1, 11:38 AM

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (hip) is officially active for Week 13 against the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday. Koo was listed as questionable to play in this game after popping up on the injury report on Thursday, but he was able to practice in full on Friday and will be good to go this weekend. Atlanta signed kicker Riley Patterson to their practice squad this week as insurance with Koo up in the air. The 30-year-old Koo has been more inconsistent than ever before in 2024 for the Falcons, missing seven of his 26 field-goal attempts through 11 games. At perhaps less than 100 percent on Sunday, fantasy managers should consider him a low-end kicking option for starting lineups against a Chargers defense that has been among the best units in football this year. The Bolts have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to kickers through 12 weeks.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders has been one of the most productive fantasy options at his position lately, and he'll look to extend his hot streak during Week 12 versus the New England Patriots. Sanders has posted double-digit fantasy points in back-to-back games and three of his last four contests. Over the last two weeks, he has gone 6-for-6 on extra points and 5-for-5 on field goals, including two from beyond 50 yards. This week, the 29-year-old faces a Patriots defense that has been somewhat stingy against kickers but is also quite capable of surrendering points. Thus, Sanders ranks just inside the top 12 for this week. He's worth starting in leagues with at least 12 teams, and he can even be considered in 10-team formats.
