Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Riley Patterson

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.

Miami Dolphins kicker Riley Patterson has filled in well for Jason Sanders (hip) this season, as Sanders' IR stint has extended through the first 13 weeks of the season. Patterson has made 21 of his 23 field goal attempts overall this season and 24 of his 25 extra point attempts. He converted all four of his field goal chances last week against the Saints and also added an extra point. This week, he'll be in a good matchup against the Jets, but the weather in New York is expected to be very cold. Patterson has not made any field goals from 50+ yards this season, but has consistently converted shorter attempts. The elements will make it tough to make anything from long distance, but he can reliably deliver shorter kicks. He is the No. 14 kicker in RotoBaller's Week 14 rankings, so he isn't a must-start in most leagues, but he isn't a terrible option either.
