3 years agoAfter drafting LSU kicker Cade York in the fourth round of this year's draft, the Cleveland Browns released kickers Chase McLaughlin and Chris Blewitt on Monday. McLaughlin was solid early last year for the Browns, but that didn't last and he made only six of his 12 field-goal tries from Week 7 on and wasn't reliable beyond 40 yards. York was the first kicker taken in the draft this year and was considered the top option at his position, so he will immediately serve as Cleveland's starter in his rookie season with McLaughlin and Blewitt out of the picture. York went 15-for-18 on field-goal tries for the Tigers last year, including making five of his seven tries from 50-plus yards. Depending on whether quarterback Deshaun Watson is suspended for the 2022 season, York could have some streaming appeal in fantasy.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
