Cade York Fantasy

Veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins lost the Los Angeles Chargers starting kicker job to Cameron Dicker this preseason and is being traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Cade York has been waived in a corresponding move. Hopkins made 27 of his 30 field goal attempts as a Charger in 2021 and 2022, but a lower-body injury held him out of 12 games last season. If the Browns' offense takes a step forward in Deshaun Watson's second season with the organization, Hopkins could have plenty of upside in fantasy football. York could find a new home in short order.

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski is not committing to Cade York as the team's starting kicker heading into the 2023 regular season in Week 1 against the Cincinnati Bengals. York had the potential game-winning 43-yard field goal blocked with 54 seconds remaining in the preseason finale against the Kansas City Chiefs, which was the second straight game he missed a potential game-winning field goal. York went 4-for-8 on field goals and 8-for-8 on extra points in four preseason games. During training camp, he made 99% of his kicks, though. With the regular season quickly approaching, the Browns could choose to bring in competition for the 22-year-old. Needless to say, York should be off the fantasy radar right now.

Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York made both of his extra points in a 28-14 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 18. York was not asked to attempt a field goal in the loss in the last game of the regular season. The rookie kicker wound up making 24 of his 32 field goals and all but two of his 37 extra points while appearing in all 17 of his team's games. York will most certainly be back as Cleveland's kicker in 2023 after they used a fourth-round pick in the 2022 draft on him. If the Cleveland offense takes a step forward in year two of the Deshaun Watson era, York could be a useful kicker in fantasy.
