Evan McPherson Fantasy

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson was perfect during Sunday's loss to the Cowboys. The 23-year-old shook off a disastrous Week 1 showing against the Pittsburgh Steelers by nailing all three field goal attempts, with each of those kicks occurring beyond the 40-yard mark. It didn't take McPherson long to get back on track, so he should be starting in Week 3 versus the New York Jets.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson got off to a fantastic start during the Week 1 loss to the Steelers, nailing a 59-yard boot in the first quarter. He followed that up with a 26-yard kick near the end of the first half. Yet, after long-snapper Clark Harris (bicep) exited due to injury, tight end Mitchell Wilcox filled in. However, McPherson struggled for the remainder of the afternoon, getting a potential game-winning PAT blocked before hooking a 29-yard field goal try in overtime. Nonetheless, the 23-year-old should be just fine moving ahead. Still, if McPherson botches in Week 2 versus the Cowboys, fantasy managers may consider other options until he demonstrates he's back on track.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson looks to build off an impressive rookie year against the Steelers on Sunday. The 23-year-old finished last season by nailing 28 of his 33 attempts, including going 9-for-11 from beyond 50 yards. Despite his youth, McPherson is already is considered one of the top kickers in the league for a reason, and a potent Bengals' offensive approach should continue to put him in a position to succeed. Fantasy managers must start him in Week 1 and the rest of the season, for that matter, at least until he begins to slow down. However, that isn't expected to happen anytime soon.
