Falcons to rely on running game despite injury to Patterson
The Atlanta Falcons are about to see how good their ground game is without Cordarrelle PattersonOCTOBER 3, 2022 • Associated Press
Perfect in win Koo converted on all three of his field-goal attempts and both point-after tries during Sunday's 23-20 victory over the Browns.
Impact Koo opened the scoring with a 30-yard field goal on the Falcons' first offensive possession, and after connecting on back-to-back PATs, he added a game-tying 21-yard chip shot and a game-winning 45-yard field goal in the fourth quarter. Atlanta's offense continues to move the ball well, but they've struggled mightily in the red zone, which bodes well for Koo's overall fantasy potential. Through four games, the fifth-year kicker has made 10 of 12 field-goal attempts and all nine of his extra-point tries.

Perfect in win Koo converted both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his point-after tries during Sunday's 27-23 win against the Seahawks.
Impact Koo tied the game at 10 with a 41-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter and tied the game again at 20 with a 54-yard boot in the third quarter, saving a potential disastrous possession after Marcus Mariota was strip-sacked on a manageable third-down play. The Falcons offense has scored at least 25 points in each game this season and have proven capable of moving the ball efficiently, which both bode well for Koo's overall fantasy potential moving forward.

Modest results in Week 2 Koo made one of two field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 31-27 loss to the Rams.
Impact After the Falcons moved the ball down the field on their opening drive, Koo lost the momentum by missing a 44-yard field goal wide left. He bounced back in the second by connecting on a 26-yard chip shot and made both of his extra-point tries in the second half, but his overall production was disappointing for fantasy mangers after his huge performance in Week 1. Regardless, Koo figures to be a solid option moving forward as Atlanta's offense appears to be better than initially anticipated.

Staying in Atlanta The Falcons and Koo agreed to terms on a five-year, $24.25 million contract Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Impact After a rough start to his career with the Chargers in 2017 -- he made just three of six field-goal attempts and was cut after four games -- Koo was out of the NFL until the Falcons brought him on October 2019. Since then, he's been a modicum of consistency, striking true on 87 of 94 field-goal attempts and 78 of 82 point-after tries in 40 games. Instead of becoming a restricted free agent, Koo will stick in Atlanta for the foreseeable future.

Doesn't miss in season finale Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 30-20 loss to the Saints.
Impact Koo showed off his range, capping off the Falcons' first two offensive drives with field goals from 48 and 54 yards out. If there was ever a knock on the fourth-year kicker, it was his lack of consistency from 40-yards and beyond, but he put those notions to rest with two impressive kicks to end his 2021 campaign. Koo finished the season 27-for-29 (93 percent) and a perfect 30-for-30 on extra points. He signed a one-year contract with the Falcons ahead of the 2021 season, so he's set to become an unrestricted free agent this offseason and is expected to be a sought after commodity after connecting on 64-of-68 field goals over the past two seasons.
