Who Should I Start? Cade York or Evan McPherson

Monday, August 28, 2:20 PM

Veteran kicker Dustin Hopkins lost the Los Angeles Chargers starting kicker job to Cameron Dicker this preseason and is being traded to the Cleveland Browns for a 2025 seventh-round pick. Cade York has been waived in a corresponding move. Hopkins made 27 of his 30 field goal attempts as a Charger in 2021 and 2022, but a lower-body injury held him out of 12 games last season. If the Browns' offense takes a step forward in Deshaun Watson's second season with the organization, Hopkins could have plenty of upside in fantasy football. York could find a new home in short order.

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.
