Evan McPherson: Breaking News

McPherson made 25 of his 28 field-goal tries and converted 41 of his 44 extra-point attempts in 17 games with Cincinnati in 2025. After converting on a career-low 72.7 percent of his field-goal attempts in 2024, McPherson recorded a career high 89.3 percent in that category in 2025. He also showed improvement from distance compared to last season, making 15 of his 18 tries from 40-plus yards out compared to six of 12 in 2024. He still probably hasn't justified the three-year, $14 million contract the Bengals gave him in August of 2024, but he would project as an above-average fantasy option at kicker in 2026 if starting quarterback Joe Burrow can stay healthy and lead a more potent offense than the one Cincinnati had for much of this year.

McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and four of five extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-14 win over the Cardinals. McPherson's field goal was boomed from 57 yards, but his failed PAT in the second quarter was McPherson's first missed extra point of the season. Through 16 games, McPherson is 25-for-28 on field goals and 41-for-42 on PATs. McPherson will wrap up the 2025 season in Week 18 against Cleveland.

McPherson made his lone field-goal attempt and all six extra-point tries in Sunday's 45-21 win over the Dolphins. McPherson's field goal came from 45 yards away, and he sandwiched it with six PATs on a day the Bengals hung 35 straight points on the Dolphins after falling behind 14-10 in the second quarter. On the season, McPherson has converted 24 of 27 field-goal tries and all 37 extra-point attempts across 15 contests. He'll be a premier fantasy kicker at home next Sunday against Arizona.
