Cade York DVOA, Advanced Stats, & Fantasy Rankings

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York had a perfect night Saturday in Pittsburgh, converting all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in a 19-17 victory that kept the Bengals' playoff hopes alive. After a brutal miss last week that forced the Bengals into a tense overtime against Denver, there was no such kicker drama in Week 18. The journeyman converted field goals from 48, 27, 35, and 23 yards, the last of which proved to be the game-winner as Cincinnati held on in the fourth quarter. Whether York gets the chance to kick in the postseason will come down to results elsewhere, as the Bengals need Denver and Miami to lose Sunday to make the AFC playoffs.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York will be a borderline starting kicking option for fantasy managers with the Bengals trying to keep their faint playoff hopes alive with a win on Saturday against the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on the road in the Week 18 regular-season finale. The 23-year-old missed a 33-yarder in overtime last Saturday in the eventual victory over the Denver Broncos, his second straight week with a missed field goal. Since taking over for Evan McPherson (groin), York has made five of his seven field-goal opportunities while going 13-for-14 on extra points for the Bengals. McPherson is eligible to return from Injured Reserve this weekend, but it will be York kicking in his fifth straight game. He's certainly not the most reliable fantasy kicker, but given Cincy's high-scoring offense, he's at least in play as a streamer in what should be one of the most competitive games of the week.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been a bit shaky during his brief time with the team. On Saturday, York looked solid until he missed a 33-yard field goal that would've won the Bengals the game in overtime. Luckily for him, the Bengals forced the Denver Broncos to punt again and Cincinnati ended up winning the contest. York has now missed at least one kick in each of his last three games. The 23-year-old does have potential, but he'll likely be seeking a new home soon with Evan McPherson (groin) possibly returning in Week 18.

The Cincinnati Bengals signed kicker Cade York from the practice squad to the active 53-man roster on Tuesday and also signed linebacker Joe Giles-Harris and safety Jaylen Key to their practice squad. York had been elevated to the active roster the last few weeks to fill in for the injured Evan McPherson (groin), who is on Injured Reserve, but now he's officially on the active roster heading into a Week 16 contest against the division-rival Cleveland Browns. With the Bengals potentially being eliminated from postseason contention very soon, they may choose to just roll with York as their placekicker for the final three games of the regular season. McPherson isn't eligible to return until Week 18. In the last two games with Cincy, York has hit all three of his field-goal tries and has missed one of his eight extra-point attempts. He'll be in play as a kicking streamer in deeper leagues this Sunday against the Browns.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Cade York has been elevated from the practice squad and is set to kick for the second straight week. York figures to remain as the primary kicker for the next few games with Evan McPherson (groin) on the injured reserve. Last week, York made all three of his extra point attempts and both field goals in the win over the Dallas Cowboys. The Bengals offense has been strong enough to keep their kickers busy this season. York figures to remain busy for the upcoming matchup against the Tennessee Titans.
