Who Should I Start? Chase McLaughlin or Tyler Loop

Saturday, November 22, 10:05 PM

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin nailed both of his short field goal attempts and two extra points in a Week 11 loss to the Buffalo Bills. McLaughlin has been money again for the Bucs in his third season with the team, making 20 of 24 attempts and 20 of 21 extra points. The 29-year-old has arguably been the best kicker in the league from deep range, making all eight attempts from 50 yards or more and owning the second-longest kick of the season at 65 yards back in Week 4 against the Philadelphia Eagles. McLaughlin ranks as the No. 6 overall kicker in fantasy points scored this season and is a strong option in a dome on Sunday Night Football against the Los Angeles Rams. He is RotoBaller's 11th-ranked kicker for Week 12.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop continues to roll as the team rides a five-game win streak. In Week 12, Loop made all three of his field goal attempts (31, 35, and 27 yards) as well both of his extra point attempts. He's finished as a K1 in four of his last five games, while the offense has put up at least 20 points in each one. Week 13 brings the Cincinnati Bengals, who have one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop should see plenty of opportunities, especially since the matchups between these AFC North rivals have ended in shootouts in recent seasons. He's projected as a top five fantasy kicker this week, so fantasy managers can deploy him into their lineups again.
