Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Tyler Bass

Saturday, October 12, 11:15 AM

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo ranks near the top in fantasy points at the position so far in 2024, with his last seven makes coming from 40 yards or more. The Atlanta offense really got rolling last week and gets another favorable matchup in Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers have been terrible against both the pass and run, so the Falcons should have no problem moving the ball down the field which should provide Koo with plenty of opportunity. The drawback perhaps is that Carolina has been too forgiving, which could lead to touchdowns and only extra points for the 30-year-old kicker, but with one of the higher projected totals on the board (46.5) and beautiful weather conditions projected in Charlotte, this game sets up nicely for the seven-year veteran.

Buffalo Bills kicker Tyler Bass is 9-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-20 on extra points this season. His struggles were on full display during Monday Night Football when he missed a field goal and an extra point. The Bills signed Lucas Havrisik to their practice squad, intending to create competition for Bass. If he continues to whiff on his attempts, he may not be kicking for Buffalo next week. For fantasy football purposes, there are no concerns with the matchup against Tennessee, but fantasy managers may opt to start a more reliable kicker in Week 7.
