Who Should I Start? Evan McPherson or Blake Grupe

Saturday, December 6, 4:14 PM

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson got off to a slow start early in the 2025 campaign. However, he's been productive over the last month or so, and he finished the Week 13 win over the Baltimore Ravens by draining all six of his attempts, a career-high. The 26-year-old is back to being one of the top kickers in the National Football League. McPherson has an excellent chance to keep things going in a predicted high-scoring clash with the Buffalo Bills on Sunday. He may need to be more involved if it ends up snowing more in Buffalo than initially anticipated.

The Indianapolis Colts signed former New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe to their practice squad on Tuesday, a source told Mike Garafolo of NFL Network. Grupe was recently cut by the Saints, but he'll latch on with another team quickly after impressing the Colts during a workout on Tuesday. The 27-year-old will be replacing Michael Badgley, who was waived on Tuesday after missing his third extra point of the season in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans. In addition to Grupe, the Colts also worked out kickers Justin Tucker and Maddux Trujillo. Grupe, 27, will be Indy's placekicker this weekend for a crucial divisional battle against the Jacksonville Jaguars. Before getting cut by the Saints, he went 18-for-26 on field goals and 15-for-15 on his extra-point tries in 11 games. Fantasy managers should be looking elsewhere for a more reliable kicking option in Week 14.
