Bengals' Evan McPherson: Two long field goals vs. Pats
Rotowire
McPherson made both of his field-goal attempts and each of his two extra-point tries during the Bengals' 26-20 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
McPherson opened Sunday's scoring with a 54-yard field goal in the first quarter, and he closed out the first half with a 63-yarder as time expired. That 63-yard field goal was the longest of his career, and he is now 3-for-7 on field goals from 50-plus yards this season. After making just one field goal in each of the first six games of the regular season, McPherson has made two or more in four of his last five games. Over that span, he has gone 11-for-12 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-14 on extra-point tries.

McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and all five of his point-after tries during the Bengals' 39-38 loss to the Jets on Sunday.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Starts
Rotowire
McPherson had a big game in Week 7 against Pittsburgh with four made field goals and three PATs, including a game-winning 36-yard kick with 10 seconds left. The Bengals offense looked great against the Steelers in the second start for Joe Flacco, and Cincinnati should do well against the Jets in Week 8. The Jets are also No. 2 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and six kickers have made at least two field goals against the Jets this season. McPherson has top-10 upside in all leagues in Week 8.

Rotowire
McPherson made his only field-goal try in Monday's 28-3 loss to the Broncos.
McPherson finished off the Bengals' first drive of the night with a chip-shot 26-yard field goal, which would prove to be all the offense for Cincinnati in Week 4.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Connects on all five kicks
Rotowire
McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and went 4-for-4 on extra-point tries during the Bengals' 31-27 win over the Jaguars on Sunday.
All of McPherson's kicks came from within 35 yards, with his lone field goal coming from 31 yards out in the second quarter to cut the Bengals' deficit to four points. McPherson went just 16-for-22 on his field-goal attempts during the 2024 regular season, but he has converted on all eight of his kick attempts through the first two games of the 2025 campaign. However, his fantasy floor could be impacted, considering Jake Browning is set to take over as the Bengals' starting quarterback since Joe Burrow is expected to miss a minimum of three months while recovering from surgery on his toe turf injury, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Makes his kicks in win
Rotowire
McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and both of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 17-16 win over the Browns.
The kickers were the difference in this contest, as McPherson made all three of his kicks, while Browns kicker Andre Szmyt made just one of his two field goals and also missed an extra point. McPherson's 35-yard field goal in the third quarter to put the Bengals up 17-16 proved to be the difference. In Cincinnati's high-powered offense, McPherson should be busy this season.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: In line to miss time
Rotowire
McPherson is expected to miss a few weeks due to a groin injury, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
While Garafolo indicates that McPherson's injury is not season-ending, the kicker is on track to miss some time. With that in mind, the Bengals will sign Cade York to their practice squad and are expected to elevate him ahead of Monday's game against the Cowboys.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
McPherson has two games with more than five Fantasy points in his past seven outings, and this is a bad matchup. The Steelers are No. 3 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and Greg Joseph in Week 8 is the lone kicker with more than nine Fantasy points against Pittsburgh this season. McPherson was also just 2-of-2 on field goals and 1-of-1 on PATs against the Steelers in two games last season.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
McPherson only has four games this season with more than six Fantasy points and just one since Week 4. He didn't attempt a field goal in Week 10 at Baltimore and now has five games this season with one field or less. The Chargers are No. 2 in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and McPherson is not worth trusting in most leagues in Week 11.
McPherson made one of two field-goal attempts and converted on both of his extra-point tries during Sunday's 37-17 loss to the Eagles.
McPherson made a 27-yard chip shot early in the second quarter, but his 54-yard field-goal attempt later in the frame missed wide left. It was his fourth miss on a field-goal attempt this season, and three of the other misses have come over the Bengals' last four regular-season games. McPherson will look to get back on track against the Raiders on Sunday, Nov. 3.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Misses lone try at Cleveland
Rotowire
McPherson missed his only field-goal try and converted all three of his extra-point attempts in Sunday's 21-14 win at Cleveland.
A 50-yard try late in the fourth quarter would have extended the Bengals' lead to three scores, but McPherson pushed it wide right. His accuracy to start this season hasn't been totally up to par with the standard he's set for himself over the course of his career, but he should have a chance to make positive corrections as the year progresses if Cincinnati's offense continues to have success moving the ball.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Quiet in low-scoring affair

McPherson made his only field-goal attempt and converted both of his two extra-point tries during Sunday's 17-7 win at the Giants.
Not much offense was generated by either team at MetLife in Week 6, but McPherson did what little was asked of him to help get the Bengals to their second win of the season. He'll hope to see more chances in Week 7 at Cleveland.

McPherson had a big game in Week 2 at Kansas City with four field goals on four attempts, including one from 53 yards.

Bengals' Evan McPherson: Quiet in low-scoring affair
Rotowire
McPherson converted his only field-goal attempt and his only extra-point try in Sunday's 16-10 loss versus the Steelers.
On a day in which Cincinnati was only able to muster 222 yards of total offense, McPherson was predictably a non-factor for the most part. He knocked through a 47-yard field goal with just over two minutes remaining in the game to bring the Bengals within six points, but they couldn't recover his onside kick, and Pittsburgh was able to kneel the remainder of the game away. Cincinnati's offense projects as one of the worst in the league without starting quarterback Joe Burrow, so fantasy managers would probably be wise to look elsewhere for a kicker for the rest of the year.
