Who Should I Start? Younghoe Koo or Tyler Loop

Saturday, November 8, 6:13 PM

New York Giants kicker Younghoe Koo has been elevated from the practice squad ahead of the Week 10 matchup against the Chicago Bears. Koo will take over the kicking duties this weekend for Graham Gano (neck) who has been ruled out for this game. Koo hasn't kicked since being released by the Atlanta Falcons following their Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Koo missed a late-game field goal and was released afterwards. The 31-year-old has a 85.8 field goal percentage throughout his NFL career. He figures to be a viable option for the Giants while Gano is out.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop has been trending back up, just like the entire offense, since Lamar Jackson returned to the field. The rookie may not have gotten any field goal opportunities against the Miami Dolphins in Week 9, but the Minnesota Vikings defense should be just good enough to give him some more opportunities. Loop has three finishes in K1 territory so far this season, and the offense moves the ball with much greater efficiency while Jackson and company are healthy. Over the last four weeks, the Vikings are tied for 15th against kickers, giving up an average of just over seven fantasy points per matchup. That gives Loop the projected value of a K1 this week.
