Who Should I Start? Chase McLaughlin or Chad Ryland

Saturday, October 19, 9:02 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has continued to be one of the most consistent options at his position this season. McLaughlin has connected on all 11 of his field goal attempts and missed just one PAT in 20 attempts. The Bucs continue to march down the field and give McLaughlin plenty of chances. He should continue getting opportunities in what looks like a possible shootout with the Baltimore Ravens. Fantasy managers in need of a kicker should look towards McLaughlin this weekend.

Arizona Cardinals kicker Chad Ryland drilled his only attempt, which was the 32-yard game-winning field goal for the Cardinals on Monday night. Ryland also hit two extra points to go along with the game-winning field goal. This was a grinding matchup between two offenses that played at a slower pace, and the Cardinals' offense didn't find themselves in a field goal situation until the end of the game, limiting Ryland's opportunities. With the Cardinals' offense still struggling to find consistency, Ryland doesn't yet crack the list of fantasy-relevant kickers. However, the Cardinals will face some mid- to lower-tier defenses in the coming weeks, which could make Ryland a potential streaming option in the future.
