Who Should I Start? Cade York or Will Reichard

Sunday, January 5, 7:20 AM

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York had a perfect night Saturday in Pittsburgh, converting all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in a 19-17 victory that kept the Bengals' playoff hopes alive. After a brutal miss last week that forced the Bengals into a tense overtime against Denver, there was no such kicker drama in Week 18. The journeyman converted field goals from 48, 27, 35, and 23 yards, the last of which proved to be the game-winner as Cincinnati held on in the fourth quarter. Whether York gets the chance to kick in the postseason will come down to results elsewhere, as the Bengals need Denver and Miami to lose Sunday to make the AFC playoffs.

Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard is a mid-tier kicking option when his team plays host to the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7. The second-year man has been mostly excellent this season, going 11-for-11 on extra points and 8-for-9 on field goals, with the lone miss impacted by an overhead wire during the Vikings' trip to London. Reichard has a solid matchup against Philly, but the bigger concern is the Minnesota offense, which will again start backup quarterback Carson Wentz with J.J. McCarthy (ankle) deemed questionable. The Vikings finished their most recent game with four backups on the offensive line, but should have at least three of five normal starters available Sunday. Reichard has been in good form, but an up-and-down Vikings offense impacts the number of chances he ultimately gets.
