2024 Fantasy Outlook
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.

Doesn't attempt any FGs in Week 10
McPherson converted all four of his extra-point tries and did not attempt a field goal in Thursday's loss to Baltimore.
ANALYSIS
McPherson came through when called upon, but all of his kicks were PATs. The Bengals opted to try for a two-point conversion on their final touchdown with less than 40 seconds remaining in the contest, costing McPherson a fifth point-after attempt and resulting in a loss when the team was unable to convert. McPherson has made more than one field goal just once over his past six contests.

2021
While his second pro season wasn't quite as good as his first, McPherson did more than enough to reprove himself as one of the league's top kickers. He went 9-for-14 from 40-49 yards and 5-for-5 from 50-plus, also ranking T-6th in PAT attempts (44) and seventh in PAT conversions (40). If anyone is to challenge Justin Tucker for the fantasy kicking throne, it'll likely be the 2021 fifth-round pick within his own division. McPherson hasn't been quite as reliable as Tucker from in close but has a sterling record from beyond 50 yards (14 of 16) and is attached to a more reliable offense in Cincinnati.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Gets deal from Bengals
McPherson signed a three-year, $16.5 million extension with the Bengals on Friday, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The talented placekicker was entering the final year of his rookie contract, so the extension isn't surprising given McPherson has largely delivered after being selected in the fifth round of the 2021 NFL Draft. Although McPherson has struggled at times with accuracy, he hit winning field goals in multiple playoff games as a rookie, and his 21 made field goals of 50 or more yards since he entered the league are tied for most in that span.
