McLaughlin has only missed one field goal and one extra point heading into the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers.

Despite that, McLaughlin is still worth a look as a streaming option for Week 10.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin finally missed his first field goal attempt of the season during last week's loss to the Baltimore Ravens. Despite that, McLaughlin has been one of the more consistent fantasy options at the kicker spot this season. The biggest problem now is that the Bucs lost their top two wideouts in Mike Evans (hamstring) and Chris Godwin (ankle) for the foreseeable future. That will likely significantly hurt the Bucs offense that has been marching down the field all season long. McLaughlin could quickly see his workload decrease if the Bucs struggle to move the ball down the field.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been one of the more consistent options early in the season.

McLaughlin has connected on two field goals or more in every game, but one this season. The Bucs offense continues to give McLaughlin plenty of work on a weekly basis which gives him solid streaming value for this Week 6 divisional matchup.

He connected on both his field goals last week and converted 3-of-4 extra point attempts during last week's win over the Philadelphia Eagles.

The hope is that his leg continues to be strong for Thursday's Week 5 matchup against the Atlanta Falcons. The Bucs offense has been able to produce 20 points or more in three of the first four games of the season. McLaughlin should continue getting chances and should be on the streaming radar for Week 5.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin was a viable fantasy option through the first two weeks of the season. However, McLaughlin wasn't called upon much at all during last week's loss to the Denver Broncos. He made his only extra point attempt in what ended up being a blowout loss for Tampa Bay. Despite that, McLaughlin has made all five of his field goal attempts this season and is perfect on extra point attempts as well. He hasn't been the problem, but the Bucs offense hasn't been able to get down the field. Quarterback Baker Mayfield was sacked seven times as the offensive line had serious issues keeping defenders away. The Bucs are hopeful for better results in Week 4. However, it won't get any easier against the Philadelphia Eagles defense. McLaughlin has some streaming appeal in deep leagues, but isn't an overall great option for Week 4.

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (abdomen) was upgraded to a full participant in practice on Thursday, according to Brianna Dix. McLaughlin missed practice on Wednesday due to an abdomen injury and an illness. However, seeing him return to full participation the following day is a great sign for his status in the season opener on Sunday afternoon. The 28-year-old enjoyed a great season in Tampa Bay last fall, hitting 93.5% of his attempts and a stellar 7-for-8 from outside 50 yards. DFS players should consider placing McLaughlin in their lineup as he will face the Washington Commanders, who surrendered the most total yards in the league last season.

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.
