York made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday. York missed three kicks over his last three games heading into the Bengals' regular-season finale, but the third-year kicker was flawless in a must-win game. The team's offense went 1-for-4 on red zone drives, which put York in a position to convert on easier kicks, with three of his four field-goal attempts coming from within 40 yards. He served as Cincinnati's placekicker for the final five games of the regular season due to Evan McPherson (groin) going on IR. Over that span, York went 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether York or McPherson would handle kicking duties in the wild-card round if the Bengals make the playoffs with a Broncos' loss and a Dolphins' loss or tie.

York made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Bengals' 19-17 win over the Steelers on Saturday. York missed three kicks over his last three games heading into the Bengals' regular-season finale, but the third-year kicker was flawless in a must-win game. The team's offense went 1-for-4 on red zone drives, which put York in a position to convert on easier kicks, with three of his four field-goal attempts coming from within 40 yards. He served as Cincinnati's placekicker for the final five games of the regular season due to Evan McPherson (groin) going on IR. Over that span, York went 9-for-11 on field-goal attempts and 14-for-15 on extra-point tries. It's unclear whether York or McPherson would handle kicking duties in the wild-card round if the Bengals make the playoffs with a Broncos' loss and a Dolphins' loss or tie.
York went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during the Bengals' 30-24 overtime win over the Broncos on Saturday. York converted on a 22-yard chip shot to close out the Bengals' first offensive drive of the second half. He had a chance to win the game for Cincinnati in overtime, but his 33-yard field-goal attempt clanged the left upright. He has missed a field goal in two straight weeks, and in the four games since taking over for Evan McPherson (groin) as the Bengals' kicker, York has gone 5-for-7 on field-goal attempts and 13-for-14 on extra-point tries. McPherson is eligible to be activated off injured reserve for Cincinnati's regular-season finale against Pittsburgh.
York went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and converted all three of his extra-point tries in the Bengals' 24-6 win over the Browns. York missed out on an opportunity to put the Bengals up by 10 points late in the first quarter when his 47-yard field-goal attempt missed left. He managed to make up for it when he connected on a 59-yard field-goal try as time expired in the first half to give Cincinnati a 17-point lead. York was signed off the Bengals' practice squad to the active roster this past Tuesday to serve as the staring placekicker until Evan McPherson (groin) returns from injured reserve. In his three games with Cincinnati, York has gone 4-for-5 on field-goal tries and 10-for-11 on extra-point attempts.
The Bengals signed York off their practice squad Tuesday. York will get a full-time spot on the Bengals' 53-man roster after he had previously been elevated from the practice squad over the last two weeks to handle kicking duties in the wake of Evan McPherson's (groin) move to injured reserve. McPherson is eligible to return in Week 18, but the Bengals are likely to be eliminated from playoff contention before then and are unlikely to rush him back in action for the regular-season finale. Over his first two games as a replacement for McPherson, York has knocked down seven of his eight extra-point tries and has nailed field-goal attempts of 21, 29 and 37 yards.
York reverted to the Bengals's practice squad Monday. York made his only field-goal attempt and four-of-five on extra-point tries while filling in for Evan McPherson (groin), who is on injured reserve. York will likely continue to serve as the team's kicker as McPherson will remain sidelined for at least two more weeks.
The Bengals elevated York from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday. Evan McPherson (groin) is slated to miss at least three more games while on IR, so York should be able to hold down the team's placekicker role as long as he performs well. Last Monday against Dallas, York made both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point tries in a dramatic victory. The Bengals' Week 15 opponent -- Tennessee -- has allowed 21 successful field goals through 13 games on the campaign.
York reverted to the Bengals' practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's official transaction log. The kicker was elevated to the active roster for Monday's 27-20 win over the Cowboys with Evan McPherson out due to a groin injury. York made the most of his opportunity, making both of his field-goal attempts and all three of his extra-point attempts. With McPherson on injured reserve until at least Week 18, York looks likely to get another opportunity next Sunday against the Titans.
York has been elevated from the Bengals' practice squad to their active roster Monday. York will get the nod as Cincinnati's kicker against the Cowboys on Monday, as Evan McPherson tends to a groin injury. The LSU product appeared in one game earlier this season for the Commanders and missed both of his FGAs, one from 47 yards and the other from 56 yards, which led to him being waived the next day. He'll now have a shot at redemption against Dallas on MNF.
The Bengals signed York to their practice squad Wednesday. With Evan McPherson (groin) placed on injured reserve Wednesday, York is expected to get the promotion to the 53-man roster ahead of Monday night's game against the Cowboys. Kicking for an offense that scores plenty of points immediately puts York on the fantasy kicking radar.
