McPherson (groin) converted 16 of 22 field-goal attempts across 12 regular-season appearances with the Bengals in 2024. He also went 37-for-38 on PATs.
ANALYSIS
McPherson ended his campaign with a career-low 73 percent conversion rate on field goals before landing on IR with a groin injury in early December, with all four of his misses coming from 50-plus yards out. He inked a three-year, $16.5 million extension with Cincinnati last August, meaning McPherson remains under contract through the 2027 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
While he hasn't quite matched the heights of his fantastic 2021 rookie season and subsequent playoff run, McPherson re-established himself as one of the league's best kickers in 2023 by making all of his kicks inside 50 yards (including PATs) and going 7-for-12 from 50-plus. His career FG percentage (83.9) looks mediocre, but it's actually quite good once you realize he's attempted 58 field goals of 40-plus yards (including 28 of 50-plus) and only 35 of less than 40. He's also gone 19-for-19 in the playoffs, albeit with 14 of those coming inside the 40-yard range. McPherson has yet to finish higher than eighth among kickers in fantasy scoring, but it's probably just a matter of time given his real-life success and the talent Cincinnati has on offense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Receives vote of confidence
Coach Zac Taylor and Ja'Marr Chase both showed public support for McPherson on Monday, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
McPherson received an extension from the Bengals this summer, but he's struggled with accuracy by making only 71 percent of his field-goal attempts this season. His misses have also been untimely, highlighted by an attempt in overtime of a Week 5 loss to the Ravens as well as a pair of miscues in the final eight minutes of Cincinnati's Week 11 loss to the Chargers. Despite McPherson's struggles, there is no indication that the Bengals are considering a change at the position.
