Younghoe Koo — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
Younghoe Koo brings a legitimate track record of high-volume kicking work to the NYG job. In 2023 he attempted 37 field goals and connected on 32, including 9 from 40-49 yards and 3 from 50-plus, while adding 27 extra points. That is a full-season workload from a kicker who has shown he can operate across all distance ranges. His 2024 line added 6 makes from 50-plus yards, the kind of long-range production that separates a kicker's ceiling in half-PPR formats. Over the three-season aggregate from 2023 through 2025, he averaged 26.7 field goal attempts and 22.7 extra point attempts per season, a consistent volume baseline that underpins any case for rostering him late in a draft.
What the model projects
The projection is 77.5 half-PPR fantasy points for the 2026 season. Koo sits at K37 and #373 overall, placing him in Tier 9. His draft value is -99.5, meaning the projection lands below replacement level at the kicker position in a 12-team half-PPR format.
| FG | FGM | XP | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 32 | 5 | 27 | 133.0 |
| 2024 | 25 | 7 | 26 | 113.0 |
| 2025 | 6 | 3 | 13 | 30.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 21 | 5 | 22 | 17.0 |
The range of outcomes
The simulated season band is wide, which is typical for the position. The bottom 10% of simulated seasons land at 0.0 points, and the 25th percentile is just 5.6. The median simulated season comes in at 42.5 points. From there the upside opens up: the 75th percentile is 97.6 points and the top 10% of simulated seasons reach 141.9. That spread from floor to ceiling reflects how much a kicker's fantasy output depends on factors that vary sharply from season to season. The 2025 season, in which Koo attempted just 9 field goals and made 6, illustrates the low end of that range in practice. The 2023 season, with 37 attempts and 32 makes, illustrates the high end.

How to draft him
Koo is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to carry a market ADP, so there is no pick-cost signal to report. In practice that means he is available as a free agent in most drafts, and the decision is less about when to spend a pick and more about whether to spend one at all. His Tier 9 placement and negative draft value reflect a projection below replacement level. Drafters who want a late-round kicker flier with a documented high-volume ceiling from 2023 and 2024 will find him available deep, but the numbers set realistic expectations going in.

Questions drafters ask
In 2023 Koo went 32-for-37 on field goals, including 20 from inside 40 yards, 9 from 40-49, and 3 from 50-plus, while converting 27 of 28 extra point attempts. That is the high-volume floor drafters are hoping to see repeated.
Very. The simulated season band runs from 0.0 points at the 10th percentile to 141.9 at the 90th, with a median of 42.5. The 2025 season (6 makes on 9 attempts, 13 extra points) and the 2023 season (32 makes on 37 attempts, 27 extra points) both sit within that range and show how wide the real-world spread can be.
Koo is K37 with a draft value of -99.5, placing him in Tier 9 and #373 overall. That puts him below replacement level at the position in a 12-team half-PPR format.
No market ADP is available, meaning Koo is not being selected consistently enough across public 2026 drafts to generate one. He is effectively undrafted in most leagues at this time.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
