Buccaneers Agree To Three-Year Deal With Chase McLaughlin

The Tampa Bay Buccaneers agreed to an undisclosed three-year deal to re-sign kicker Chase McLaughlin on Monday, according to a source. McLaughlin will stay with the Buccaneers after going 29-for-31 on his field-goal attempts and 33-for-33 on his extra points in 17 regular-season games. The 27-year-old's success rate on field goals last year set a new single-season record, so it's no wonder why Tampa wanted the kicker back for another go-round in 2024 as their primary kicker. From a fantasy perspective, McLaughlin finished as the No. 16 kicker in terms of overall fantasy points in 2023. The Bucs offense should remain largely the same this year with quarterback Baker Mayfield and top wideout Mike Evans sticking around, so McLaughlin should enter the year as a matchup-based streamer at the kicking position in fantasy.

Chase McLaughlin Could Have Streaming Appeal

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has missed only one field goal attempt through his first four games. The 27-year-old knocked down both his field goal attempts and extra point attempts during the Week 4 victory over the New Orleans Saints. Heading into the season, McLaughlin's value was shaky because it was unknown how well this offense would perform with Baker Mayfield under center. The Bucs have held their own and could be in for a high-scoring contest against the Detroit Lions in Week 6. That being said, McLaughlin could be worth a look for fantasy managers looking for a streaming option this week.

Chase McLaughlin Not An Ideal Streaming Choice

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been a fairly reliable option through the first two weeks of the season. He had a field goal blocked during the second quarter of the Week 2 win over the Chicago Bears. Outside of that, McLaughlin has been perfect, which is great to see. However, McLaughlin hasn't seen many field goal chances this season, which is hurting his fantasy value. It probably isn't going to get any easier versus the tough Philadelphia Eagles defense in Week 3. Fantasy managers should be able to find a better streaming option for Week 3.

Chase McLaughlin Knocks Down Two Kicks

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin was given a chance to win the starting gig in camp after an impressive season in 2022. McLaughlin did enough to earn himself the starting kicker position to begin the season in Tampa Bay. He knocked down both his field goal attempts during the season opener. He took a bit of a step back on Sunday versus the Chicago Bears. McLaughlin made 2-of-3 field goal attempts in the victory over Chicago. His longest attempt of the game was 26 yards, so he really wasn't asked to stretch his leg in this one. McLaughlin also connected on all his extra point attempts as well. He seems to be a fairly reliable kicker, but the Bucs offense has tougher challenges ahead. McLaughlin won't be a recommended option against the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 3.

Chase McLaughlin Not Recommended For Week 1

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin won the kicking competition during camp and opens the season as the starter. The 27-year-old outlasted Rodrigo Blankenship with a stellar showing in the final preseason game. McLaughlin knocked down 30-of-36 field goal attempts for an impressive 83.3% last season with the Indianapolis Colts. He appears to be a reliable kicking option, but his fantasy value will be tied to the success of this offense. An offensive unit that is lead by newcomer Baker Mayfield. There could certainly be a learning curve here for this offense, so there might not be a ton of success right away. That being said, fantasy managers should be able to find another kicker with a better offense to start the season.
