Who Should I Start? Cameron Dicker or Evan McPherson

Saturday, December 13, 12:32 AM

Los Angeles Chargers kicker Cameron Dicker is on a hot streak heading into Week 15 after leading the team in scoring last week by making all five of his field goal attempts, including a 54-yard kick. He faces a road game against the Kansas City Chiefs, where the total is only 42.5 points, reflecting the recent trend of unders in Chiefs games. Although this low total is why RotoBaller ranks Dicker as K10, his strong performance in a run-focused, stalled-drive environment (due to quarterback Justin Herbert's injured hand) suggests he will likely get more chances for long field goals. The Chargers' potential difficulty scoring in this game keeps Dicker highly valuable. Fantasy managers should trust his leg and consistency, considering Dicker a high-end K1 for this week.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had a career-high six field goals in the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens. However, his services weren't needed much in the recent loss to the Buffalo Bills, ending the day without an attempt. With that said, McPherson has been a top-10 fantasy kicker this season. While it's illogical to assume the 26-year-old will have another career showing, he's still a must-start in the rematch versus Baltimore in Week 15 in a game that should feature plenty of scoring from both sides.
