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.

Misses two kicks Sunday night
McPherson made two of his four field-goal tries and converted all three of his extra-point attempts during Sunday's 34-27 loss against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
McPherson has not missed a field goal shorter than 40 yards this season, but he's been far less consistent on longer kicks, and the story was no different in Week 11. It was especially costly Sunday, as both the 48-yarder he missed in the middle of the fourth quarter and the 51-yarder he missed with less than two minutes remaining would have given the Bengals the lead. He'll be looking to bounce back against the Steelers following Cincinnati's Week 12 bye.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

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.
