COMMANDERS GET KICKER CADE YORK

The Washington Commanders acquired kicker Cade York from the Cleveland Browns for a conditional seventh-round draft pick in 2025.

What does it give the Washington Commanders
The Commanders were hit hard when Brandon McManus was released due to sexual assault allegations, so York should help steady the ship at the kicker position. He is likely to beat out Riley Patterson, who has struggled this summer.

What does it give the Cleveland Browns
The kicker competition in Cleveland is over now that they have moved on from York. Dustin Hopkins will in all probability handle kicking duties for the Browns this season. Do not expect Cleveland to acquire much in this trade, if anything at all.

Fantasy impact
Fantasy kickers are largely interchangeable in many formats, so the important thing to note here is that York and Hopkins are likely to be kicking for Washington and Cleveland, respectively. Patterson seems to be the odd man out here.
