Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Spencer Shrader

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.

Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said that kicker Spencer Shrader (knee) tore his ACL and MCL in his right knee in the Week 5 win over the Las Vegas Raiders and will miss the rest of the season, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Shrader was injured when a defender crashed into his knee following a kick on Sunday. It's a tough break for the 26-year-old and the 4-1 Colts, as Shrader had missed just one of his 14 field-goal tries while making all 14 of his extra-point attempts in five games before his season-ending injury. With no current kicker other than Shrader on the active roster or practice squad, the Colts will be working out free-agent kickers this week as they head into a Week 6 meeting with the visiting Arizona Cardinals. Fantasy managers who had been using Shrader at the position will have to hit the waiver wire for a replacement.
