Who Should I Start? Chase McLaughlin or Joshua Karty

Sunday, November 10, 9:32 AM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has been one of the more reliable kicking options in the league this season. The veteran kicker has connected on a career-best 93.3 percent of his field goal this season. McLaughlin has only missed one field goal and one extra point heading into the Week 10 matchup against the San Francisco 49ers. The 28-year-old has made three extra points and one field goal in each of the last two games. The Bucs will have a tough challenge against the 49ers defense this weekend. Despite that, McLaughlin is still worth a look as a streaming option for Week 10.

Los Angeles Rams kicker Joshua Karty does not rank among the top fantasy options heading into Week 12 against the Philadelphia Eagles. For starters, the rookie has delivered below-average production so far this season, going 16-for-20 on field goals and 21-for-25 on extra points. Outside of an explosive Week 10 game in which he made five field goals, he hasn't scored double-digit fantasy points since Week 4. Additionally, this weekend, he faces the Eagles, who have surrendered the seventh-fewest fantasy points to opposing kickers in 2024. There's always a chance Karty drills a couple long kicks and rewards fantasy managers, but the numbers suggest otherwise. After all, the Eagles have allowed the second-fewest field goals from beyond 50 yards.
