Who Should I Start? Chase McLaughlin or Tyler Loop

Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin gave fantasy managers a dud during last week's loss to the Los Angeles Rams. McLaughlin didn't see much action as he made his lone extra point attempt in the loss. McLaughlin didn't attempt any field goals in what was an ugly day for the Bucs offense. The hope is that things get better against the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. However, quarterback Baker Mayfield (shoulder) is dealing with an AC joint injury which could limit this offense. McLaughlin has been reliable when called upon, so as long as the Bucs can get in scoring position then he'll be able to succeed this weekend.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop unfortunately didn't deliver for fantasy managers in Week 13. The Ravens' offense could only muster up 14 points against one of the worst defenses in the league. Loop didn't attempt any field goals, but made both of his extra points. In Week 14, they take on the Pittsburgh Steelers who allow 9.08 fantasy points per game to kickers this season. The Steelers passing defense hasn't been great, but the Ravens need to be more reliable getting the ball into field goal range. For Week 14, Loop is projected as the K8 in RotoBaller's rankings, which makes him a solid play in most leagues.
