Chase McLaughlin Offers Strong Streaming Value in Week 1

Friday, September 11, 1:50 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin is attempting to kick his way into an extension this season. The 30-year-old is entering a contract year after spending each of the last three seasons in Tampa Bay. The past two seasons, McLaughlin has finished as a top-10 player at his position. Last year, McLaughlin struggled a bit more than in past seasons, connecting on 32-of-38 field goal attempts. He only missed one extra point attempt in 2025. McLaughlin has been a mostly reliable kicker, and the Bucs have a favorable matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals defense in Week 1. The expectation is that this will be a high-scoring game, which should result in plenty of work for McLaughlin. Fantasy managers who are seeking a streaming option for Week 1 should consider adding McLaughlin.

Evan McPherson Should Be A Strong Play In Week 4

Friday, October 2, 12:25 PM

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson had another strong performance in last week's 27-30 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. Despite the loss, McPherson was able to knock through all of his kicks, including two field goals and three extra-point attempts. The Bengals kicker is yet to miss a single kick this season and should have more opportunities to score this weekend against the Jacksonville Jaguars. The Jaguars offense has been hot to start 2026 and should be able to score against Cincinnati. If the Bengals are chasing points in this week's game, McPherson could be involved in them catching up. McPherson is ranked K3 in our RotoBaller Week 4 rankings, making him one of the best options to start at the kicker position this week. Fantasy managers should tune in to see if McPherson can stay perfect this Sunday.
