We provide outlooks for all 32 NFL teams, which can be found on our player profile pages and our fantasy football news desk.

Younghoe Koo, K, Atlanta Falcons
Week 12 Kicker Rank: 10

Atlanta Falcons kicker Younghoe Koo (back) upgraded to a full practice on Friday and has been removed from the final Week 12 injury report. Koo will be active and kick for the Falcons despite not practicing on Wednesday with a back ailment. The Falcons even signed kicker Matthew Wright as insurance earlier this week in case the 29-year-old Koo wasn't able to play this Sunday against the New Orleans Saints.

Koo is one of the most reliable kickers in the NFL, as he's missed just one field-goal attempt and one extra point this year. However, due to the Falcons' sluggish offense and instability at the quarterback position, Koo has mostly been a low-end kicking option in fantasy lineups. Hopefully, Desmond Ridder's return under center for Atlanta will help them move the ball more consistently.

Justin Tucker, K, Baltimore Ravens
Week 12 Kicker Rank: 2

Baltimore Ravens kicker Justin Tucker made all four of his extra-point attempts but missed one of his two field goal attempts as he had a 55-yarder blocked against the Cleveland Browns. The future Hall of Famer now has the third-most points scored out of all kickers in the league and is inside the top ten for fantasy points as well.

The Bengals allow an average of 8.6 fantasy points per contest to opposing kickers, and they rank right around the middle of the league, so Justin Tucker can be considered a must-start. Unless something drastic happens, he should remain there.

Dustin Hopkins, K, Cleveland Browns
Week 11 Kicker Rank: 13

Cleveland Browns kicker Dustin Hopkins made both of his field goals, including a game-winner, and added an extra point in a 13-10 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. Hopkins has been a reliable kicker for the Browns in 2023, as he's made 26 of his 29 field goals for the team. He will look to keep it going in a road matchup against the Denver Broncos in Week 12.

Denver's defense has been generous to opposing kickers in 2023, allowing the ninth-most fantasy points per game to the position. The main concern here for Hopkins is a Cleveland offense that may struggle to move the ball with rookie quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson under center. Treat Hopkins as a bottom-10 fantasy kicker this weekend.
