Cade York Fantasy Stats

The Buffalo Bills brought in free-agent kickers Anders Carlson and Cade York for workouts, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. Bills starting kicker Tyler Bass has made three of four field-goal attempts so far this season, but the team is looking at other options after Bass missed by a wide margin on his lone failed attempt. Bass has also struggled with the new kickoff at times this season. Carlson struggled in his rookie season last year with the Green Bay Packers, and York had stints with the Cleveland Browns and Washington Commanders.

The Washington Commanders released kicker Cade York on Monday and are expected to replace him by signing free-agent kicker Austin Seibert, according to sources. The Commanders cut York on Monday after he missed both of his field-goal tries in the Week 1 loss to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. The 23-year-old made both of is extra-point attempts, but he gets the axe after just one week after missing from 47 and 56 yards out in the season opener in Tampa. Seibert comes to D.C. after being cut by the New York Jets in training camp. The 27-year-old should take over immediately as the replacement for York, but fantasy managers should ignore him in an offense being run by a rookie QB. Seibert entered the league as a fifth-round pick by the Cleveland Browns in 2019 out of Oklahoma. He has made 80.4% of his 56 field-goal tries in five years with four different teams.

Washington Commanders kicker Cade York joined the Commanders during the last week of August in exchange for a late-round pick, making him the new starting kicker. The Commanders opened the preseason with Riley Patterson and Ramiz Ahmed on their roster, but both failed to make the final cut after they missed several attempts. Last season, York did not attempt a field goal, but in his 2022 rookie campaign, he went 24-for-32 on attempts and 35-for-37 on extra points. The 23-year-old struggled from deep as he went a poor 4-for-7 from 50 or more yards. Fantasy managers should not consider York a streaming option in the season opener, given his inconsistent performances as a professional kicker. However, if Daniels can move the Washington offense down the field through the season, York could enter streaming conversations later on.

Washington Commanders kicker Cade York went 2-for-2 on field goal attempts and 1-for-1 on extra-point attempts on Sunday evening. York joined the Commanders via a trade from the Cleveland Browns on Thursday in exchange for a seventh-round pick. The Commanders waived Riley Patterson, who had struggled this preseason, which left York as the only kicker on the roster for Sunday's game. The 23-year-old was perfect on Sunday evening and should be expected to serve as the primary kicker in Washington going forward. York was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft but only saw attempts in that season as he was waived before the 2023 season after struggling in his rookie campaign. While York will be left on the waiver wire in most leagues, he could be worth a look as a streaming option as the season progresses, especially if Jayden Daniels adjusts quickly to the professional level.

The Cleveland Browns are trading kicker Cade York to the Washington Commanders in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport. The Commanders have reportedly struggled with the kicker position during camp, so York is being brought in to help alleviate that issue. York was selected in the fourth round of the 2022 NFL Draft out of LSU, and he went 24-of-32 on field goal tries during his rookie campaign. The Browns released him following his rookie season, and he spent time with the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants before ultimately landing with the Browns again this offseason. The Commanders released Riley Patterson in a corresponding move, so York should have a clear path to starting placekicking duties.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York made his lone field goal, a 32-yarder, and added an extra point in a 27-12 loss to the Minnesota Vikings in preseason action on Saturday. York has operated as the Browns' lone kicker through their two preseason games, combining to hit both of his field-goal tries while adding two extra points. That being said, he could be ticketed for release or a spot on the team's taxi squad once Dustin Hopkins is ready to return from injury. According to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Hopkins is dealing with an undisclosed injury but is expected to be ready for Week 1 against the Dallas Cowboys.

Free-agent kicker Cade York re-signed with the Cleveland Browns on an undisclosed deal on Saturday, according to a source. York will return to the team that drafted him in the fourth round (124th overall) in 2022 out of LSU after he made only 24 of his 32 field-goal attempts and 35 of his 37 extra-point tries in 17 games in his rookie year in 2022. The 23-year-old kicker was cut by Cleveland in training camp last summer and spent the entire year languishing on the practice squads for the Tennessee Titans and New York Giants. The Browns already have Dustin Hopkins and Lucas Havrisik at the position heading into offseason workouts, so York will merely be competing for a job in Cleveland this summer. He's off the fantasy radar for now.

Free-agent kicker Cade York visited with the Jacksonville Jaguars on Tuesday and then with the Tennessee Titans on Wednesday, according to a league source. York didn't kick in a regular-season game at all in 2023 after landing on the New York Giants' practice squad Injured Reserve in December due to a quadriceps injury. The 22-year-old from LSU was a fourth-round selection in the 2022 draft by the Cleveland Browns, and he made 24 of his 32 field-goal attempts and 35 of his 37 extra-point tries in his rookie season in 17 total games. York is now making the rounds and is hoping to latch on with another team so he can compete for a kicking job in training camp this summer.

The New York Giants placed kicker Cade York (quadriceps) on injured reserve on Friday, after he aggravated a quad injury in practice on Thursday. York was next in line to take over as the Giants' kicker after Randy Bullock (hamstring) was injured in Week 15's game against the New Orleans Saints. New York signed 39-year-old veteran Mason Crosby to the practice squad with the expectation that he will be elevated to the active roster on Monday when the Giants face off against the Philadelphia Eagles. Crosby was previously on the Los Angeles Rams' practice squad but Week 16 will be his first in-game action of 2023.

New York Giants head coach Brian Daboll said he does not expect kicker Randy Bullock (hamstring) to be ready to play in Week 16 against the Philadelphia Eagles on Christmas Day. Punter Jamie Gillan had to enter the Week 15 loss to the New Orleans Saints as the team's field-goal kicker when Bullock injured his hamstring in the first half. The 34-year-old is most likely going to be ruled out for Monday's contest, paving the way for Cade York to serve as the Giants kicker against the Eagles. York, 22, was a fourth-round pick last year by the Cleveland Browns. In 17 games for Cleveland in 2022, he made only 24 of his 32 field-goal attempts and missed two of his 37 extra-point tries. For a struggling Giants offense, fantasy managers will want to avoid York if Bullock is eventually ruled out.
