Parker Romo is elevated by the Falcons and will start Monday night against the Vikings, with Younghoe Koo relegated to the bench.

Romo’s NFL reps are limited, but his 2023 XFL stint with the San Antonio Brahmas yielded 17 of 19 field goals and 51 total points. Koo, a longtime Falcon Pro Bowler, slipped to 73.5% FG last season after an 86.5% year in 2023, and a late 44-yard miss last opener helped precipitate the shakeup. Fantasy impact: Romo could offer steadier FG opportunities and a fresh ceiling in a primetime clash.

Atlanta Falcons elevate Parker Romo to handle kicking duties Sunday night against the Minnesota Vikings after ruling Younghoe Koo out non-injury related. Romo signed earlier this week following Koo's late 44-yard miss in Week 1 vs Tampa Bay, and he brings Vikings familiarity from last season.

Koo's late-game slip and 15-of-23 over his last 10 games hint at volatility in the Falcons' kicking game, while Romo's 11-for-12 FG with Minnesota in 2024 showcases a trusted leg. Kickoff is 8:20 p.m. ET.

Week 2 fantasy rankings and injury updates drive start/sit decisions in PPR leagues. Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, while Brock Purdy is out, shifting SF’s offensive plan. Darren Waller is ruled out for the Giants, narrowing Giants’ passing targets. Drake London projects as a low-end WR1 with upside, and Dallas Goedert is sidelined, impacting Eagles’ tight-end run. Top-tier players remain front-and-center: McCaffrey, Gibbs, Bijan Robinson, CeeDee Lamb, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson, with Ridley, Evans, and Walker as reliable mid-to-high-floor options.

Christian McCaffrey is cleared for Week 2, anchoring the top tier, while Bijan Robinson, Jahmyr Gibbs and Saquon Barkley headline the early-season map. Pollard’s workload keeps him in low-end RB2 territory, with Seattle’s backfield trending toward a split between Charbonnet and Walker. Week 2 values hinge on volume, matchup, and pass-game involvement across backfields.

TreVeyon Henderson could see more work in New England, D’Andre Swift needs a TD to reach value, and James Cook returns for Buffalo as backfields normalize. The outlooks emphasize volume, pass-game usage, and injury updates to sharpen start-sit decisions and DFS lines.
