2025 Fantasy Outlook
After bouncing around the league for years, McLaughlin finally seems to have found his long-term home in Tampa Bay, where he's missed just four field-goal attempts and two PATs in two seasons. He played every game for Tampa Bay the past two years, including playoffs, and finished 2024 as the sixth-highest-scoring kicker for fantasy (up from No. 13 in 2023). With two seasons remaining on his contract, McLaughlin is set up for another year of fantasy value, attached to an offense that will have a new playcaller for the third year in a row but otherwise enjoys continuity, returning all 11 regular starters from last year.

Signed a three-year, $12.3 million contract with the Buccaneers in March of 2024.
Nails only kick Monday
McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt from 53 yards out and didn't attempt an extra point during the Buccaneers' 24-9 loss to the Lions on Monday night.
ANALYSIS
The Buccaneers offense was surprisingly stymied by a short-handed Lions defense for significant portions of the night, and Tampa Bay went for a two-point conversion after its only touchdown, leaving McLaughlin without an extra-point attempt for the first time since Week 18 of the 2023 season. McLaughlin has been less accurate than usual over the first seven games this season with a 14-for-18 tally on field goals, but following Monday's successful make, he's a perfect 6-for-6 on kicks of 50-plus yards.

2020
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.

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.
