Kicker Outlook Week 3

Younghoe Koo (K1) may not have a bigger fan than yours truly. He’s been a talking point in these columns since joining the Falcons back in Week 10 of last season. A quick look at Koo’s production and it’s easy to see why. Over his 10 career games with Atlanta, Koo has averaged an absurd 11.9 points per game. His terrific play has seeped into this season, as his 17-point outing in Week 2 catapulted him to the highest-scoring kicker in fantasy through the first two weeks of play.

Don’t expect much of a hiccup in Koo’s production vs. Chicago in Week 3. The Bears have allowed an average of 9.5 fantasy points to opposing kickers this season. That number would have seen an even larger jump had the Giants’ Graham Gano connected on a 50-plus yard field goal. Koo has hit on 11 of his 13 field goal attempts from 40 yards and beyond over his Atlanta tenure, including a 49-yarder this season.

Michael Badgley (K4) has now topped nine fantasy points in every game this season, a trend that should likely continue into Week 3. Badgley’s opponents, the Carolina Panthers, have allowed an average of 9.5 fantasy points per game to kickers this season, seventh-most in football. The Panthers have now surrendered 11-plus points to the position in five of their last nine games dating back to last season.
