Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Evan McPherson

Friday, October 31, 5:47 PM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker experienced his first missed field goal of the season last Thursday but still went 3-for-4 on field goal attempts and made all four extra points. Dicker now faces a struggling Tennessee Titans defense that is expected to give up plenty of points. As 9.5-point favorites, the Chargers are likely to move the ball efficiently, creating multiple scoring opportunities. Given the team's high scoring projection, Dicker is poised to easily capitalize with several extra points and field goal attempts, even in a run-heavy game. RotoBaller ranks Dicker as K2 this week. He is a must-start in all formats.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has struggled to find fantasy relevance to start the 2025 season. Through six games, McPherson has converted six of eight field goal attempts and 11 extra points, averaging just 5.5 fantasy points per game, which ranks 36th among all kickers. The injury to quarterback Joe Burrow has limited scoring opportunities across the Bengals' offense, directly impacting McPherson's production. Even with a Thursday Night Football matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, who have been shaky defensively, McPherson remains a risky fantasy option due to his limited opportunities in the struggling Cincinnati offense. Fantasy managers should look elsewhere for a more reliable kicker in Week 7.
