Chase McLaughlin Added to Injury Report, Expects to Play

Saturday, October 4, 11:05 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin (illness) was added to the injury report late in the week, but he carries no game designation and is fully expected to play against the Seattle Seahawks. McLaughlin has been productive through four weeks, hitting nine of 12 field goal attempts, including a 65-yarder against Philadelphia in Week 4. While his 75% field goal percentage ranks just 26th in the league, the Buccaneers' explosive offense has kept him busy, and he currently sits fifth among kickers in fantasy points. With Tampa Bay traveling to Seattle for what projects to be a close matchup, McLaughlin should once again see multiple scoring opportunities. Fantasy managers should treat him as a must-start option in Week 5.

Brandon Aubrey a Must-Start Despite Tough Divisional Matchup

Saturday, October 18, 9:47 AM

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey has been one of the best kickers this decade, and he'll look to build on his success in a divisional Week 7 marchup against the Washington Commanders. He is a perfect 12-for-12 on field goals and 18-for-19 on extra points, continuing to showcase his accuracy and extremely strong leg. This pair of skills has allowed him to rank as the No. 1 kicker in fantasy points so far, and he remains the consensus K1 heading into Week 7. A matchup against the Commanders isn't ideal, as they've allowed the seventh-fewest fantasy points to kickers in 2025. However, Aubrey has shown that he is matchup-proof and should be started in all leagues this weekend.
