Who Should I Start? Cade York or Joshua Karty

Tuesday, December 17, 7:28 PM

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Cade York from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and also signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and safety Jaylen Key to their practice squad. York had been elevated to the active roster the last few weeks to fill in for the injured Evan McPherson (groin), who is on Injured Reserve, but now he's officially on the active roster heading into a Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. With the Bengals potentially being eliminated from postseason contention very soon, they may choose to just roll with York as their placekicker for the final three games of the regular season. McPherson isn't eligible to return until Week 18. In the last two games with Cincy, York has hit all three of his field-goal tries and has missed one of his eight extra-point attempts. He'll be in play as a kicking streamer in deeper leagues this Sunday against the Browns.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty went 4-for-4 on field goal attempts on Thursday evening during their victory over the San Francisco 49ers. Karty scored all 12 points for the Rams as the offense was unable to get into the end zone. Karty's longest kick came from 48 yards in the second quarter. Then in the fourth, Karty hit his three other field goals all from within 30 yards. After posting a 62.5% FG rate during Weeks 10 through 13, Karty has gone perfect on attempts over his past two games. However, he did miss one PAT last weekend. Despite his struggles, Karty remains a decent low-end K1 given Los Angeles' potent offense. Next weekend, he will face the New York Jets, who have allowed the sixth-most fantasy points to opposing kickers this season.
