Cade York Fantasy Stats

With veteran kicker Nick Folk signing with the Atlanta Falcons in free agency in the offseason, the New York Jets are set for a kicking competition this summer between Jason Sanders and Cade York, according to Jack Bell of NewYorkJets.com. "They're both consistently competitive, just in their approach, their process," special teams coach Chris Banjo said. "They're very, very resilient in regards of some things that may go good or may not go good, and one snap and clear and they're onto the next thing, and they've been doing a good job of that so far." Sanders didn't play at all in 2025 due to a hip injury, but his 84.6% field-goal percentage was the highest in Miami Dolphins' franchise history, and his 221 field goals are second only to Olindo Mare. York has lived the life of a well-traveled NFL kicker in just two seasons, making 73.3% of his 45 field-goal tries. If Sanders is fully healthy this year, he figures to be the favorite for kicking duties with the Jets. Although he's been pretty consistent in his career, fantasy managers in most formats should be able to find more stable options at the position.

The New York Jets agreed to an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent kicker Cade York on Wednesday, sources told FOX Sports' Jordan Schultz. Former Jets kicker Nick Folk signed with the Atlanta Falcons earlier this week, so the Jets will add York, a former fourth-rounder, and give him a chance to win the starting job to open the 2026 season. The Cleveland Browns took the 25-year-old placekicker with the 124th overall pick in 2022 out of LSU. York has only kicked in the NFL for two seasons, going 33-for-45 on field goals (73.3%) and 51-for-54 on his extra-point attempts in 23 games played for the Browns, Cincinnati Bengals, and Washington Commanders. He didn't play at all last year and spent the 2024 season with both Washington and Cincy. Right now, York and Lenny Krieg are the two kicking options on New York's roster. Fantasy managers will want to avoid the kicking situation for the Jets in 2026.

The New Orleans Saints are signing free-agent kicker Cade York to their practice squad on Tuesday and are releasing kicker Blake Grupe in a corresponding move, a source told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. The Saints are moving on from Grupe after he missed two field goals in the team's Week 12 loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The 27-year-old has made only 69.2% of his 26 field-goal attempts in 2025 in his third year in the league, although he has gone a perfect 15-for-15 on extra points. The Saints also worked out former Ravens kicker Justin Tucker on Monday, but they decided to go with York instead. York will likely be signed to the active 53-man roster for Sunday's game against the Miami Dolphins. The 24-year-old has kicked for three different teams in two NFL seasons, going 33-for-45 on field goals (73.3%) and 51-for-54 on extra-point tries. Fantasy managers will want to avoid York in one of the lowest scoring offenses in football.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York had a perfect night Saturday in Pittsburgh, converting all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in a 19-17 victory that kept the Bengals' playoff hopes alive. After a brutal miss last week that forced the Bengals into a tense overtime against Denver, there was no such kicker drama in Week 18. The journeyman converted field goals from 48, 27, 35, and 23 yards, the last of which proved to be the game-winner as Cincinnati held on in the fourth quarter. Whether York gets the chance to kick in the postseason will come down to results elsewhere, as the Bengals need Denver and Miami to lose Sunday to make the AFC playoffs.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York will be a borderline starting kicking option for fantasy managers with the Bengals trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive with a win on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The 23-year-old missed a 33-yarder in overtime last Saturday in the eventual victory over the Denver Broncos, his second straight week with a missed field goal. Since taking over for Evan McPherson (groin), York has made five of his seven field-goal opportunities while going 13-for-14 on extra points for the Bengals. McPherson is eligible to return from Injured Reserve this weekend, but it will be York kicking in his fifth straight game. He's certainly not the most reliable fantasy kicker, but given Cincy's high-scoring offense, he's at least in play as a streamer in what should be one of the most competitive games of the week.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been a bit shaky during his brief time with the team. On Saturday, York looked solid until he missed a 33-yard field goal that would've won the Bengals the game in overtime. Luckily for him, the Bengals forced the Denver Broncos to punt again and Cincinnati ended up winning the contest. York has now missed at least one kick in each of his last three games. The 23-year-old does have potential, but he'll likely be seeking a new home soon with Evan McPherson (groin) possibly returning in Week 18.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Cade York from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and also signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and safety Jaylen Key to their practice squad. York had been elevated to the active roster the last few weeks to fill in for the injured Evan McPherson (groin), who is on Injured Reserve, but now he's officially on the active roster heading into a Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. With the Bengals potentially being eliminated from postseason contention very soon, they may choose to just roll with York as their placekicker for the final three games of the regular season. McPherson isn't eligible to return until Week 18. In the last two games with Cincy, York has hit all three of his field-goal tries and has missed one of his eight extra-point attempts. He'll be in play as a kicking streamer in deeper leagues this Sunday against the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been elevated from the practice squad and is set to kick for the second straight week. York figures to remain as the primary kicker for the next few games with Evan McPherson (groin) on the injured reserve. Last week, York made all three of his extra point attempts and both field goals in the win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals offense has been strong enough to keep their kickers busy this season. York figures to remain busy for the upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans.

The Cincinnati Bengals elevated kicker Cade York from their practice squad to the active roster on Monday ahead of Week 14's meeting with the Dallas Cowboys. With Evan McPherson (groin) landing on injured reserve last Wednesday, Cincinnati was due to get their kicking situation straightened out. They'll turn to York to do so. The 23-year-old is on his second team in 2024 -- having kicked for the Washington Commanders earlier this season back in Week 1. He made both extra-point attempts but missed both field goal tries. It was his only appearance with the team. He'll get another chance now for at least this week. York is a bit tough to trust right away, but the Bengals score a lot, and if you're suddenly in need of an emergency kicker, there's an option for you.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has taken over the starting kicking duties with Evan McPherson (groin) being placed on the injured reserve. York has only appeared in one game this season with the Washington Commanders. York missed both of his field goal attempts and made two extra point attempts. The 23-year-old should immediately be placed on the fantasy radar given how many points this offense has been scoring this season. York figures to get plenty of chances during the Week 14 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Fantasy managers looking for a kicker for this weekend should take a look at York.
