Kicker Outlook Week 4

Since missing four kicks in Week 1, Stephen Gostkowski (K15) has been the highest-scoring kicker in fantasy, averaging 18.5 points per game over the past two weeks. The three-time Super Bowl Champion racked up an absurd 25.0 points in Week 3, thanks to connecting on all six of his field goals, including three 50-plus yarders.

All this likely leads you to question why Gostkowski is ranked so low this week. Simply put, the Pittsburgh Steelers have been extremely unwelcoming to opposing kickers this season. Pittsburgh currently allows just 4.67 points per game to the position, second-fewest in football. In fact, they’ve had just one field goal of 29-plus yards converted on them all season long.

Younghoe Koo (K8) battled through a groin strain in Week 3 that vastly affected his play. The K1 heading into last Sunday, Koo missed an extra point and a 48-yard field goal in Atlanta’s four-point loss to the Bears.

NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero has reported that Koo is not expected to play this Monday and is a candidate for a short-term IR spot.

Expect Atlanta to hold tryout this week to fill the void left behind by Koo. Whoever takes over for Koo will be met with a moderately tough matchup against the Packers this coming Monday. Green Bay allows the 10th-fewest points to kickers in 2020. With that said, they did allow 13 points to Will Lutz last week, while Atlanta’s high-powered offense should make any Falcons kicker somewhat fantasy relevant.
