Joey Slye Belongs On Waivers In Week 13

Saturday, November 30, 2:20 AM

New England Patriots kicker Joey Slye is not a reliable fantasy option heading into Sunday's Week 13 game against the Indianapolis Colts. The veteran has gone 19-for-23 on field goals and 16-for-17 on extra points this season, missing a 45-yarder last weekend. He has now missed a field goal in three of his last four games, demonstrating a lack of dependability in the middle portion of the 2024 season. Beyond Slye's unappealing ranking as the overall K22 this year, he faces a middle-of-the-road matchup this week in the form of the Colts, who have surrendered the 14th-most fantasy points to opposing kickers. The 28-year-old can be left on waivers in all fantasy leagues with 14 teams or fewer.

Bengals Place Evan McPherson On Injured Reserve

Wednesday, December 4, 3:42 PM

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.
