Struggles in 2024
Koo (hip) finished the 2024 regular season connecting on 25 of 34 field-goal attempts and all 26 of his extra-point tries across 14 games.
ANALYSIS
Koo connected on at least 86 percent of his field-goal attempts in the five seasons prior to 2024 and was one of the league's most accurate kickers over that span. He started out making all nine of his field-goal attempts over the first four games of the regular season, but he went just 8-for-15 on his field-goal tries over the next six contests, including 1-for-4 in Week 10 against the Saints. Part of Koo's accuracy issues may have been due to him attempting to play through a right hip injury, which ultimately placed him on IR in mid-December and led to the Falcons signing Riley Patterson off the Browns' practice squad. With a full offseason ahead of him, Koo will look to fully recover from his injury and aim to bounce back in 2025.

Koo is one of the best kickers in the NFL but typically hasn't gotten enough PAT volume to rank as one of the top fantasy options at this position. He's made at least 86.5 percent of his FG attempts each season since taking over as Atlanta's kicker midway through 2019, going 23-of-31 from 50-plus yards (74.2 percent) and 39-of-46 in the 40-to-49-yard range (84.8 percent). Kicking in a dome more than half the time helps, with the Falcons assured of at least nine indoor games each season between their home stadium and the annual visit to New Orleans. They're scheduled for 12 dome games in 2024, and with QB Kirk Cousins presumably improving the Atlanta offense, Koo should be one of the better kickers for fantasy.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Job not in danger
Coach Raheem Morris noted that he has full confidence in Koo following Sunday's loss to the Saints, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
The Falcons fell by three points in a pivotal divisional matchup against the Saints on Sunday, and Koo played a significant role by missing two field goals and having another blocked. While he has built a reputation as one of the most accurate kickers in the league due to his consistency across the last five seasons, Koo has converted only 71 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2024. Nevertheless, it appears the Falcons are willing to let Koo work through his struggles.
