Younghoe

Koo

Koo has bounced around the league since leaving the Falcons and was ultimately unable to stick in New York long enough to compete with Cade York for the starting gig for the upcoming season. Expect Sanders to now compete with York in camp and preseason.

Koo got a tryout with the Saints after the NFL Draft but did not land a contract in The Big Easy. Now he’ll compete with Lenny Krieg and Cade York for the kicker job in New York. Aftering being cut by the Giants and Falcons in 2025, this may be Koo’s last chance to make an NFL roster ahead of Week 1.

Koo was released by the Falcons in the middle of the 2025 season. He landed with the Giants, though that did not last long. Koo missed two kicks in his fifth game with the team, infamously stumbling and whiffing the try entirely on his second attempt of the day. By all accounts, Koo has a case of the yips. If he gets over that issue this offseason, Koo could be a meaningful addition to the Saints or another team.

He was 4-of-6 on field goals and 11-of-12 on extra points. Ben Sauls is the current viable replacement on the Giants practice squad. Koo’s stumbled non-kick against the Patriots will live on in our hearts.

Gano missed Week 10 with the neck issue. He will now be sidelined for at least the next four weeks. Younghoe Koo, who was cut by the Falcons earlier this year, is the next man up in New York. Koo made both of his field goal attempts and both of his PAT kicks in Week 10.

He didn’t practice all week and is likely questionable for Week 11. Gano will yield way to Younghoe Koo at kicker in Week 10. Koo is a decent streamer against the Bears.

Graham Gano (neck) hasn’t practiced all week and was ruled out. Koo signed with the Giants after being cut by the Falcons following a Week 1 loss to the Buccaneers and is 2-of-3 on field goal attempts this season. Koo isn’t exactly a reliable option, but he makes for a decent kicker streamer against the Bears this week.

Gano missed a month early in the year with a groin issue. He returned in Week 8 and is 3-of-4 on his field goal tries since being activated from injured reserve. The injury plus a shaky Week 9 will likely be enough for the Giants to sit him for at least a week. Younghoe Koo, currently on the team’s practice squad, would be the next man up.

Gano initially went on injured reserve last month with a groin issue. Jude McAtamney took over for him, but was waived this week after multiple missed extra points in Week 7. Gano is nearing a return to kick for the Giants, but Younghoe Koo awaits on the practice squad if he is not ready for Week 8.

It doesn’t sound like a vote of confidence for the health of incumbent Graham Gano (groin), who kicked through injury on Sunday night. Koo could be the Giants kicker this week against the Chargers in what some are calling “not exactly a smash spot for a kicker” in Jaxson Dart’s season debut.
