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.

Matt Gay Tagged as Questionable for Week 8

Saturday, October 25, 6:47 PM

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay (back) is currently considered questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs. Gay is a late addition to the injury report as he wasn't on there until Saturday. The Commanders aren't currently rostering another kicker, so they'd need to sign one before Monday's game. The team will likely wait and see how Gay feels on Sunday before making a decision. Fantasy managers who have Gay rostered should probably get another kicker just in case he's unable to play.
