Evan McPherson

The Bengals picked up a win in Joe Burrow's return to the lineup on Thanksgiving and kicker Evan McPherson's contributions to the victory were recognized by the NFL on Wednesday.

McPherson drilled a 54-yarder for the first points of the game and also added a career-long 63-yarder later in the game. It's been a modest fantasy season for McPherson this year, with only four games of multiple made field goals. However, he has at least two field goals in four of his last five games, and Joe Burrow looks set to return on Thursday, which means McPherson could be useful for fantasy managers down the stretch.

Winds are forecasted at 15-20 mph with gusts around 30-35 mph for today's Bengals-Steelers game. That figures to impact some long passes and kicks, although it's worth noting that the over/under on this game has held steady at 48.5. We're not adjusting projections in this one but might shy away from Ks Chris Boswell and Evan McPherson.
