Perfect once again Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts and his only extra-point try during Sunday's 29-15 loss to the Bills.

Impact Koo capped off a 10-play, 65-yard drive with a 28-yard chip shot to the cut the Bills' lead to 14-5 with 10 minutes left to go in the second quarter. He also added a 24-yarder as time expired in the first half to give the Falcons a 15-14 lead going into halftime. Snowy conditions and Atlanta's sporadic offense once again diminished Koo's fantasy potential, but he hasn't missed a kick since Week 11 and remains one of the most accurate and reliable kickers in the league.

Another perfect outing Koo connected on both of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 20-16 win over the Lions.

Impact Koo capped off a seven-play, 43-yard drive with a 53-yard field goal that tied the game at 10 with just over a minute left in the first half. It was Koo's first 50-plus yard make since Week 8, and he's now 3-for-4 on the season from 50 yards and beyond. Koo also connected on a 48-yard attempt to give the Falcons a 13-10 lead after their first drive of the second half. Koo continues to be one of the most reliable and accurate kickers in the league. However, his fantasy production remains reliant on Atlanta's sporadic offense, which has a tough matchup against the Bills in Week 17.

Doesn't miss in loss Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and connected on his only extra-point during Sunday's 31-13 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Koo opened the scoring with a 48-yard field goal on the Falcons' second offensive drive of the game. In the third quarter, Atlanta's nine-play, 71-yard drive culminated in a 22-yard attempt for Koo that cut the 49ers lead to 24-13. From inside of 50 yards this season, Koo is 46-for-47 (21-22 FGs, 25-25 PATs). The fourth-year pro remains one of the most reliable and efficient kickers in the league, but Atlanta's sporadic offense continues to diminish his fantasy potential.

Perfect once again Koo made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra points during Sunday's 29-21 win over the Panthers.

Impact After nailing his first two extra points, Koo gave the Falcons a 17-7 lead in the second quarter by connecting on a 32-yard field-goal attempt. He then capped off Atlanta's nine-play, 55-yard drive to start the second half with a 38-yard field goal. Two offensive possessions later, Koo expended the Falcons' lead to 29-14 by making a 48-yarder with six minutes to go in the fourth quarter. When Atlanta is able to move the ball, Koo can stack up points quickly, but that just hasn't consistently been the case this season. Koo remains hindered by the Falcons' offensive struggles, but he continues to be one of the most consistent kickers in the league.

Doesn't miss in Week 13 Koo connected on his only field-goal attempt and both of his extra points during Sunday's 30-17 loss to the Buccaneers.

Impact Koo finished off a 15-play, 72-yard drive with a 21-yard field goal to cut Tampa Bay's lead to 13-10 in the second quarter. The 27-year-old continues to be one of the most efficient kickers in the league this season -- 16-for-18 on FGs (12-12 from inside 40 yards) and 22-for-22 on PATs. However, his fantasy potential remains hindered by the Falcons' inability to move the ball. Over his last four games, Koo has attempted just three field goals and five extra points. Anyway you cut it, that's just not enough opportunities to warrant any type of fantasy success.

No field-goal attempts in Week 12 Koo didn't attempt a field goal, but he made all three of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 21-14 win over the Jaguars.

Impact Koo didn't have an opportunity to redeem himself from his 50-yard miss during Week 11's shutout loss to the Patriots. However, he did connect on all three of his PATs, which kept him a perfect 20-for-20 on the season. Despite Koo's consistent accuracy, his fantasy production remains limited due to sporadic opportunities from Atlanta's offense.

Misses only attempt in shutout loss Koo missed his only field-goal attempt during Thursday's 25-0 loss to the Patriots.

Impact After the Patriots scored a touchdown to take a 10-0 lead at the start of the second quarter, the Falcons marched into field-goal range thanks to a 14-play drive. Koo connected on the 45-yard attempt, but it was nullified by a holding call. On the ensuing 50-yarder, Koo's kick narrowly missed the upright as it curved wide left. The 27-year-old has only missed two kicks this season, both of which were over 40 yards. Koo will likely remain one of the more consistent kickers in the league, but his fantasy value continues to be hampered by the Falcons' sporadic offense.

Back on track in Week 9 Koo made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra points during Sunday's 27-25 win over the Saints.

Impact Koo bounced back with another perfect outing after missing his first field-goal attempt of the season last week. The 27-year-old opened the scoring Sunday with a 32-yard field goal on the Falcons' second drive of the game, and then he was only summoned for extra points until the last drive of the game. After the Saints took a 25-24 lead with a minute left in the fourth quarter, Atlanta went 64 yards on five plays to set up Koo for a 29-yard, game-winning kick as time expired. The fourth-year pro remains one of the most consistent kickers in the league, but his fantasy production will continue to be limited by Atlanta's sporadic offense.
