Who Should I Start? Evan McPherson or Tyler Loop

Saturday, November 15, 6:49 PM

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.
