According to Cincinnati Bengals owner/president Mike Brown, kicker Evan McPherson and the team have discussed a contract extension. "We've been talking," said Brown on Monday. "We're hoping we can get there with him." The 25-year-old has been a solid fantasy asset over the last three seasons, making 83.9% of his kicks in 49 appearances. He's also gone 21-for-28 from beyond the 50-yard line. Without question, McPherson has been instrumental to Cincinnati's success, so there's a good chance a deal will get done sometime soon.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson nailed a 42-yard field goal during the loss to Cleveland on Sunday. However, he missed his following try on the next series. In all fairness, McPherson was the only person who put points on the board for the struggling Bengals offense, and the weather conditions weren't ideal, either. While the 24-year-old seemed to take a step backward last season, he's still one of the best kickers in the NFL. Fantasy managers should keep him starting in Week 2 against the Baltimore Ravens.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made both of his field goal attempts during the AFC Championship loss to the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday night. The 23-year-old remained perfect in the postseason, extending his streak to 19 successful field goal attempts. While McPherson took a step back this season to a degree, he'll draw plenty of attention from fantasy managers heading into the 2023-24 campaign.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson looked strong last week against the Buffalo Bills in the AFC Divisional Round. The second-year kicker knocked down both of his field goal attempts. Also, McPherson made all three of his extra point attempts last week against the Bills. He has performed much better in the second half of the season. The expectation is that this game will be a high-scoring affair. That means, McPherson should have more chances to kick. Fantasy managers should be safe with him as their kicker for this weekend.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made his lone field goal attempt but missed one of his two extra-point attempts in the Wild Card win over the Baltimore Ravens. McPherson made an NFL record 14 field goals in last year's four playoff games, but he has struggled in 2022-23. During the regular season, he missed five field goals and four extra points. Hopefully, the second-year kicker can bounce back before one of his missed kicks costs the Bengals a playoff win.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made all three field goal attempts and all four extra-point attempts in the 37-30 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers. He had a big day for fantasy managers who trusted him despite a lackluster start to his sophomore season. He'll be a high-upside play next week against the Tennessee Titans, who boast a bend but don't break defense that could set up plenty of field goal attempts.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson wasn't needed during Sunday's win over Atlanta, as the 23-year-old didn't log a single field goal attempt. However, with Ja'Marr Chase (hip) unavailable for up to six weeks, McPherson could see more action if Joe Burrow and the Bengals offense struggle to adjust moving ahead. He is usually a must-start fantasy option. Yet, he may be even more productive on Monday night against the Cleveland Browns.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson didn't attempt a field goal during the win over the Atlanta Falcons. With Joe Burrow throwing for nearly 500 yards on Sunday, McPherson was only needed to make five extra points. With that said, fantasy managers should continue starting the 23-year-old in Week 8 against the Cleveland Browns, as he may get more chances to produce.
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson remains one of the league's best. While the 23-year-old has missed a few tries, he has nailed four field goals of 50 yards or longer, tying him for the second-best total this season. With the Bengals predicted to have no issues getting down the field against the Falcons defense in Week 7, McPherson may get more than enough chances to produce for fantasy managers.
Evan McPherson Makes Only Field Goal Attempt On Sunday
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson made his only field goal attempt, a 52-yarder, during the Week 6 win over the Saints. McPherson also had three successful extra-point tries, although Joe Burrow and company kept him off the field. Nonetheless, the sophomore remains one of the best kickers in the league, so fantasy managers should keep him starting in Week 7 against the Falcons.
