Evan McPherson News
Friday, October 2, 12:25 PM
Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had another strong performance in last week's 27-30 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the loss, McPherson was able to knock through all of his kicks, including two field goals and three extra-point attempts. The Bengals kicker is yet to miss a single kick this season and should have more opportunities to score this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars offense has been hot to start 2026 and should be able to score against Cincinnati. If the Bengals are chasing points in this week's game, McPherson could be involved in them catching up. McPherson is ranked K3 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the kicker position this week. Fantasy managers should tune in to see if McPherson can stay perfect this Sunday.

Trey Smack News
Wednesday, September 23, 1:38 PM
Green Bay Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack enters Thursday's Week 3 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons as a strong streaming option after delivering in the clutch against the Jets. Smack converted both field-goal attempts in New York, hitting a game-tying 34-yarder late in regulation before drilling the 26-yard winner in overtime. He is now a perfect 5-for-5 on field goals through two games, including a 59-yarder in the opener that stands as the second-longest field goal in Packers history. The game environment should continue to provide scoring opportunities, with Green Bay favored at home and carrying an implied team total near 25 points. Atlanta has also allowed opponents five field-goal attempts through its first two games. Smack's proven range gives him additional upside if Green Bay stalls after crossing midfield. RotoBaller currently ranks him K9 in Tier 3 for Week 3. Fantasy managers can confidently use Smack as a top-10 streaming kicker, with additional tournament appeal in Thursday Showdown formats.
