Who Should I Start? Eddy Pineiro or Evan McPherson

Sunday, December 15, 10:24 AM

Carolina Panthers kicker Eddy Pineiro is coming off a tough outing during the Philadelphia Eagles last week. Pineiro made his lone field goal attempt and made 1-of-2 extra point attempts in the loss. The 29-year-old has now missed a week in two straight weeks. The Panthers offense finally coming alive has given Pineiro more streaming appeal lately. However, he remains a risky streaming choice ahead of the Week 15 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys. Pineiro has three misses over the last two games, so fantasy managers should look elsewhere for help ahead of Week 15.

The Cincinnati Bengals placed kicker Evan McPherson (groin) on Injured Reserve on Wednesday. It was announced earlier on Wednesday that McPherson would miss some time due to his injury, and now he won't be eligible to return until the Week 18 regular-season finale against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers. With fantasy championship matchups in most leagues coming in Week 17, managers with McPherson on their rosters in redraft leagues can let him go. The Browns worked out and signed former Washington Commanders and Cleveland Browns kicker Cade York on Wednesday, and he will be their kicker in Week 14 on Monday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Like the Bengals in 2024, the 25-year-old McPherson was a fantasy disappointment in 12 game, going 16-for-22 on field-goal tries while missing just one of his 38 extra points.
