  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect in Monday's win

    Koo made all three field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Monday's 22-21 win over the Eagles.

    In order, Koo made field goals from 39, 22 and 34 yards. Arguably, his most difficult kick was the go-ahead extra point with 34 seconds left in the fourth quarter after Kirk Cousins found Drake London wide-open for a touchdown. Koo also had an extra-point opportunity taken away, as the Falcons aggressively decided to go for a two-point conversion after taking a 15-10 lead late in the third quarter. Koo has yet to miss a kick through two games but hasn't attempted a field goal past 40 yards.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Perfect but quiet

    Koo made his only extra-point try and field goal attempt in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Steelers.

    Koo kicked a 24-yard field goal on the Falcons' opening drive, then added the extra point on a Kyle Pitts touchdown late in the second quarter. Other than the kickoff to open the second half, the Georgia Southern product remained on the sideline for the remainder of the matchup. Next up for Koo and the Falcons is a Week 2 matchup on MNF against the Eagles.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Sports leg sleeve at practice

    Koo sported a sleeve on his kicking leg during Monday's practice, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Koo made both of his attempts during Atlanta's preseason opener, including a 53-yarder in the third quarter. The reasoning behind the leg sleeve remains unclear, but Ledbetter noted that Koo missed a 51-yard attempt during Monday's practice. Koo hasn't missed a game over the past three seasons.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Solid despite long-distance misses

    Koo made 32 of 37 field-goal attempts and 27 of 28 extra-point tries across 17 appearances during the 2023 campaign.

    For a second straight season, Koo went exactly 32-for-37 on field-goal tries. In the previous two campaigns, he went 27-for-29 and 37-for-39, respectively, and the biggest difference between the separate two-year stretches is his efficiency from beyond 50 yards. In 2020 and 2021, Koo went 12-for-13 from 50-plus, but he's made just 10 of his last 17 attempts from that distance. Koo's long-range accuracy was never his strong suit, but it's disappointing to see him getting worse in that department -- 3-for-6 in 2023 after 7-for-11 in 2022. Despite the concerns, Koo is still one of the most reliable kickers from inside 50 yards and is under contract through the 2026 campaign. He could see a boost in fantasy value if the Falcons' offense can take a step forward with a new head coach in 2024.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Poor showing in Chicago

    Koo made one of three field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Bears.

    Koo's 50-yard field-goal attempt was short to end the first drive of the game, and he's now missed three straight from 50 or farther after starting the year 3-for-3 on such kicks. He also hit the left upright with a 42-yard attempt to end the Falcons' second offensive drive. Before that miss, Koo was 10-for-11 on attempts between 40 and 49 yards out. Koo made his final three kicks, including a 38-yard field goal, to somewhat salvage the performance. Koo's struggles on Sunday could be attributed to the weather, as snow flurries and strong wind were certainly factors in Chicago, but he's been inconsistent over the last four weeks, going just 7-for-11 on field-goal attempts during that stretch, which is boosted by a 5-for-5 outing in Week 16.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Busy day in win

    Koo made all five of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 29-10 win over the Colts.

    Koo missed a 49-yard attempt in the second quarter, but it was negated by an offsides penalty. He finished that drive with a 23-yard chip shot and ended the first half with a 47-yarder. He added three more field goals (41, 35 and 25) in the second half as Atlanta extended its lead, giving him a season-high five made field goals. It was a huge bounce-back performance for Koo, who missed a pair of 50-yard attempts in Week 14 and wasn't called upon in Week 15 due to the Falcons' offensive struggles.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Non-factor in week 15

    Koo (illness) didn't attempt a field goal and made his only extra-point try during Sunday's 9-7 loss to Carolina.

    Koo was added to the injury report Saturday due to an illness but still suited up for the contest. However, he didn't attempt a field goal for just the second time this season. After being one of the most productive kickers in the NFL from Weeks 5-13, he's dropped back-to-back duds. Last week, Koo missed a pair of 50-yard attempts, which has never been his strong suit, and this week, his lack of production was due to Atlanta's inept offense. The two main concerns about Koo's fantasy profile popping up at an inopportune time is an unfortunate reality for managers still in the playoffs.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Good to go versus Carolina

    Koo (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

    Koo was a late addition to the Falcons' injury report Saturday after picking up an illness, though the team elected not to add a kicker to the active roster. Koo has connected on 25 of 28 field-goal attempts and 20 of 21 extra-point tries this season.

  • Falcons' Younghoe Koo: Has illness, questionable for Sunday

    Koo was added to the Falcons' Week 15 injury report Saturday due to an illness, making him questionable for Sunday's game in Carolina, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Atlanta didn't make a corresponding move to add a kicker to the active roster, so the team may feel confident that Koo will be able to play through his ailment, even if he isn't 100 percent. Still, his status for Week 15 won't be confirmed until about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
