2024 Fantasy Outlook
McLaughlin has kicked in games for seven different teams since entering the league in 2019, including full seasons as the starting placekicker for Cleveland (2021), Indianapolis (2022) and Tampa Bay (2023). Last season marked his most accurate performance yet, with McLaughlin making 29 of 31 field goals (including seven of eight from 50-plus yards) and each of his 33 PATs. He's now 24 of 29 (82.8 percent) from 50-plus yards for his career, which would be more impressive if not for his 60 percent rate in the 40-49 range. In any case, he's missed just two PATs and one field goal inside of 40 yards, making for a solid track record overall. McLaughlin should at least be useful as a streamer in favorable matchups, attached to a Bucs offense that was solid-but-unspectacular last season and returns most of the same key pieces.

Another 50-plus yard make Sunday
McLaughlin drilled his only field-goal attempt from 52 yards and made all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 31-26 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
McLaughlin was his usual reliable self, maximizing each opportunity he was given in the high-scoring divisional clash. The Buccaneers managed to remain reasonably efficient on offense despite the absences of their top two receivers, so McLaughlin arguably saw less field-goal opportunities than he might have been projected for going in. The veteran kicker is now 6-for-7 from 50-plus yards following his long-distance make Sunday, though he could see his team's offense stall more often in scoring position versus a tough Chiefs defense on the road next Monday night.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2021
2020
McLaughlin had a strong 2022 for the Colts in real-life terms, missing only one kick inside 40 yards (including PATs) while making 9 of 11 from 40-49 yards and 9 of 12 from 50-plus. The problem for fantasy purposes was a glaring lack of PAT volume, with McLaughlin getting only 21 in 16 games as the Colts struggled mightily on offense. He'll be attached to a better offensive line and WR group in Tampa Bay, but the QB issues that dragged him down last season could once again be an issue with Baker Mayfield and Kyle Trask competing for the starting job. There's also the matter of McLaughlin converting only 78.8 percent of FGAs for his career, but for now he's the only kicker on the roster of the Bucs, who parted ways with Ryan Succop this offseason.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Wins starting job
McLaughlin appears set to be the Buccaneers' kicker in 2023 after Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports the team waived Rodrigo Blankenship.
ANALYSIS
Both kickers saw action for Indianapolis last season, but McLaughlin won that battle and went on to kick 30 field goals in 16 games for the Colts, and now he's won this one, too. The Bucs could always bring in further competition before Week 1, but assuming McLaughlin's job is secure, he'll be supporting an offense with unsettled situations at quarterback and running back but that still features the talented duo of Mike Evans and Chris Godwin at wide receiver.
