Who Should I Start? Evan McPherson or Joshua Karty

Saturday, September 27, 2:11 PM

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson hasn't missed this season. However, it's mostly due to a lack of opportunities, with the 26-year-old attempting only three kicks through the first three weeks of the 2025 campaign while draining all seven extra-point attempts. The Bengals offense has struggled so far this season. Many aren't optimistic that things will change on that side of the ball anytime soon, especially with Joe Burrow (foot) out for the foreseeable future. Until McPherson starts getting more chances to produce, he's not worth starting in all fantasy formats, including in Week 4 versus the Denver Broncos.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty is riding plenty of momentum after a tremendous performance against the Philadelphia Eagles last week. However, he'll fall back off the fantasy radar this week against the Indianapolis Colts for a couple of reasons. First, Karty's four field goals and two extra points last week were likely a statistical anomaly, as he had previously attempted just two field goals over the first two weeks of the season. It's also worth noting that while Karty did make four field goals, he also missed two, indicating some accuracy problems going forward. Furthermore, the Colts' defense has been stingy this year, which rubs off on kicker fantasy value. In fact, Indianapolis has allowed the second-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. Managers should feel compelled to add someone else off waivers this week and leave Karty untouched.
