Makes two FGAs in Week 13
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal attempts and extra-point tries in Sunday's 20-17 win over the Cardinals.
Analysis: McLaughlin was able to get back on track after being held to just a PAT in the team's Week 12 loss to the Rams, making a 25-yard field goal in the second quarter and a 57-yarder in the fourth, which would prove to be the difference in the contest against Arizona. The kicker has seen his workload fluctuate greatly from week to week, notching four performances with one or zero field-goal attempts while also making multiple field goals in six different contests. On the year, McLaughlin has now…read more

Kicks one PAT in blowout loss
McLaughlin made his lone extra-point try in the Bucs' 34-7 loss to the Rams on Sunday night.
Analysis: Tampa Bay got itself into a massive hole early in this one, and the Bucs were forced to go for it numerous times on fourth downs rather than taking field goals. McLaughlin was, of course, barely used due to the blowout nature of the contest. On the season, the veteran kicker is 20-for-24 on field goals and 21-for-22 on point-after tries.

Converts two FGAs in loss
McLaughlin made both of his field-goal tries and went 2-for-2 on PATs in Sunday's 44-32 loss to the Bills.
Analysis: McLaughlin made a chip-shot 23-yard field goal in the first quarter before adding a 24-yarder as time expired in the first half. The kicker has now made at least two field goals in five of 10 contests this year. McLaughlin has gone 20-for-24 on field-goal attempts, including 8-for-8 from 50-plus yards, while making 20 of 21 extra-point tries over 10 games this season.

Makes three kicks Week 10
McLaughlin connected on his lone field-goal attempt and made both of his point-after tries during the Buccaneers' 28-23 loss to the Patriots on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin extended his streak of at least one made field goal to seven games after connecting on a 36-yard field goal in the second quarter of Sunday's loss. He is now 18-for-22 on field-goal attempts and 18-for-19 on extra-point tries through nine regular-season games.

Connects on five kicks vs. NOLA
McLaughlin made all three of his field-goal attempts and both of his extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 23-3 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers' offense failed to generate points until the first possession of the second half. All three of McLaughlin's field goals came in the second half and from 50-plus yards. He is now a perfect 8-for-8 on field-goal attempts from 50-plus yards and is 17-for-21 on all field-goal tries and 16-for-17 on PATs through eight regular-season games.

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…read more

Imperfect in Week 6
McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and made all three of his PATs in Sunday's 30-19 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: McLaughlin missed a 49-yard field-goal try early in the fourth quarter before making a 45-yarder later in the period. The kicker has had a rollercoaster ride of a season to this point, making 13 of 17 field-goal attempts, including 4-for-4 from 50-plus yards, while going 14-for-15 on PATs over six games this year.

Makes every kick Sunday
McLaughlin hit all three field-goal tries and all three extra-point attempts in Sunday's 38-35 win over the Seahawks.
Analysis: The kicker made all three of his field-goal attempts from between 30 and 39 yards. McLaughlin missed a field goal in each of the first three games of the season and an extra point in Week 1, though he has not missed now in two weeks. With the high-scoring Bucs, he should see plenty of opportunities moving forward.

On injury report, no designation
McLaughlin has been added to the Buccaneers' Week 5 injury report Saturday with an illness, but doesn't carry an injury designation.
Analysis: McLaughlin is the only kicker on the Buccaneers' active roster, and considering that he wasn't given an injury designation, at this stage it doesn't appear as though his status for Sunday's game against the Seahawks will be impacted. Through four contests to date, McLaughlin has made nine of his 12 field-goal attempts and eight of his nine extra-point tries for a total of 35 points in that span.

Breaks franchise record in loss
McLaughlin connected on all three of his field-goal attempts and went 2-for-2 on extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 31-25 loss to the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: Coming off a strong performance in the Bucs' Week 3 win over the Jets (5-for-6 on field-goal tries), McLaughlin broke a franchise record by connecting on a 65-yard field goal in the dying seconds of the second half to cut Tampa Bay's deficit to 18 points. That field goal was one yard shy from matching Justin Tucker's record of 66 yards against the Lions in 2021. McLaughlin has strung together two strong performances in consecutive weeks, and he'll look to carry that momentum into Seattle for…read more

Plays hero in Week 3 win
McLaughlin went 5-for-6 on field-goal attempts and made both of his extra-point tries during the Buccaneer's 29-27 win over the Jets on Sunday.
Analysis: Two of McLaughlin's five field goals came from 50-plus yards as he paced the Buccaneers' scoring. Things took a turn for the worst in the fourth quarter for Tampa Bay, when McLaughlin's field-goal attempt from 43 yards to extend the Bucs' lead to nine points was blocked by Will McDonald, who scooped the ball and returned it for a touchdown to give the Jets a one-point lead. Baker Mayfield was able to bring the Buccaneers back down the field into the Jets' territory to set up McLaughlin for a…read more

Misses another kick in Week 2
McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt and made two PATs in Monday's 20-19 win over the Texans.
Analysis: McLaughlin once again connected with the upright in Week 2, missing a 38-yard field goal in the third quarter. The kicker has now missed two field goals and one extra-point try over the first two games of the year, and he'll look to get back on track in the team's Week 3 matchup with the Jets on Sunday.

Misses pair of kicks in win
McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts and 2-for-3 on his extra-point tries in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: McLaughlin missed a 44-yard attempt wide left in the third quarter and then doinked an extra point off the left upright near the end of the fourth quarter that would have put the Bucs up by four points. Instead, it left the door open for the Falcons to potentially tie the game late, though Younghoe Koo missed a 44-yard field goal with six seconds left. McLaughlin figures to be busy this season in the Bucs' high-powered offense. He made 30 of 32 field-goal tries last season and 54 of 56…read more

True on three kicks Saturday
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 45 and 23 yards and also converted his one extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 29-7 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday night.
Analysis: The veteran kicker already looked in midseason form during his first taste of game action since the wild-card loss to the Commanders in January. McLaughlin tied a career high with 32 made field goals and posted a career-best 93.8 percent conversion rate on field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2024, and he once again projects for plenty of scoring opportunities in the coming season while attached to the team's Baker Mayfield-led offense.

Closes out season impressively
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 52 and 25 yards and knocked home all three extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 27-19 win over the Saints on Sunday. He finished the 2024 regular season having gone 30-for-32 (93.8 percent) on field goals and 54-for-56 on PATs.
Analysis: The veteran kicker managed to inch past his previous career-best field-goal accuracy rate of 93.5 percent, which he'd established just last season, with Sunday's perfect tally. McLaughlin did misfire on extra-point tries for the first time since the 2021 season, but he'll enter the postseason as one of the most trusted kickers in the field of 14 teams and remains under contract with the Buccaneers through the 2026 season.

Perfect on eight kicks Sunday
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 23 and 34 yards and connected on all six extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 48-14 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers offense was impressively efficient throughout Sunday's lopsided victory, but McLaughlin was the beneficiary in the form of a couple of short field-goal tries on the rare occasions Baker Mayfield didn't cap off a possession with a touchdown pass. With his third straight perfect tally on field goals, McLaughlin is now sitting on a 93.3 percent success rate in that department for the season, just two-tenths of a percentage point behind last season's career-best figure heading into…read more

Clean performance in loss
McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (45 yards) and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-24 loss to the Cowboys on Sunday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin's one field-goal try came late in the third quarter and reduced the Buccaneers' deficit to nine points at the time. The perfect night pushed McLaughlin's field-goal success rate to 92.9 percent -- just a shade behind the career-best 93.5 percent figure he mustered in 2023 -- with his only two misses coming from 50-plus yards. Meanwhile he's already at career highs in PATs (47) and made extra points (45), leaving him in line to potentially hit or eclipse the 50-mark in each category…read more

Prolific afternoon in win
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 22, 37, 42 and 43 yards and knocked home all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 40-17 win over the Chargers on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker racked up 16 total points in the surprisingly comfortable victory, kicking a pair of field goals apiece in the first and second halves. The four made field goals tied a season high for McLaughlin, who'd just set that mark Week 13 against the Panthers. McLaughlin is up to a 92.6 percent success rate on field goals and 95.5 percent on PATs heading into a Week 16 road matchup against the Cowboys that should also afford him plenty of scoring opportunities.

Limited to PATs in win
McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and connected on all four extra-point tries during the Buccaneers' 28-13 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker failed to log a single field-goal attempt for the first time all season and only the fourth time during his 32 combined regular-season and postseason appearances with the Buccaneers. McLaughlin did boost his accuracy on PATs to 95.0 percent with his quartet of makes in as many tries Sunday, setting a new career high with 38 extra points in the process.

Compiles 14 points in OT win
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 27, 26, 51 and 30 yards, misfired on a 55-yard try and knocked home both PATs in the Buccaneers' 26-23 overtime win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: As his final line corroborates, McLaughlin was a major factor in Tampa Bay's victory, although, ironically, he came one play from being the culprit in a potential loss. McLaughlin knocked a 55-yard try wide left at the end of the Buccaneers' first drive in overtime, but he subsequently made good on his chance to atone following Chuba Hubbard's fumble by drilling a game-winning 30-yard attempt. McLaughlin now has missed a kick in consecutive games -- he failed to convert one of his four PATs in…read more

McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt (23 yards) and made three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-7 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin drilled a chip shot field-goal try early in the second quarter but went on to miss his second PAT attempt of the season following Baker Mayfield's 10-yard touchdown run just before halftime. McLaughlin pushed his success rate on field goals to a career-best 94.4 percent with Sunday's sole make, and he could be in for an even busier afternoon in a Week 13 road matchup against the vulnerable Panthers defense.

Another unblemished day Sunday
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 30 and 26 yards and also made both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 23-20 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin managed another productive afternoon despite the fact the Buccaneers offense was once again operating very short-handed at receiver. The veteran kicker's opportunities continue to be mostly unencumbered by the personnel losses, as Sunday marked McLaughlin's fourth consecutive game with four kicking opportunities despite the absences of Chris Godwin (IR, ankle) and Mike Evans (hamstring) for the last three contests, and Jalen McMillan (hamstring) for the most recent two.

Perfect on four kicks
McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal attempt from 47 yards out and was successful on all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 30-24 overtime loss to the Chiefs on Monday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin once again maximized his opportunities and generated his second straight six-point performance. The veteran kicker is keeping pace with his career-best 2024, as he's posted a 93.3 percent success rate on field-goal attempts and has missed just one of his 28 PATs. McLaughlin's only field-goal miss has been from 50-plus yards, and he could be busier on that front during a Week 10 home matchup against the 49ers if Tampa Bay's offense stalls out more than it did against Kansas City.

Another 50+ 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 opportunity than he might have been projected for going in. The veteran kicker is now 6-for-7 from 50+ yards following his long-distance make Sunday, and he could see his team's offense stall more often in scoring position…read more

Misfires on 55-yard attempt
McLaughlin converted one of his two field-goal attempts and knocked down both of his point-after tries in Monday's 41-31 loss to the Ravens.
Analysis: McLaughlin had gone 11-for-11 on field-goal tries through the Buccaneers' first six games, but he saw his streak of perfection come to an end midway through the third quarter of Monday's contest. He nearly came through with his sixth kick of the season of more than 50 yards, but his 55-yard attempt clanked off the right upright.

McLaughlin connected on his only field-goal try (26 yards) and drilled all six extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 51-27 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin was limited to less than two field-goal tries for just the second time this season, but he was busier than ever on extra points with the Buccaneers offense turning in a highly efficient performance. McLaughlin remains perfect on 11 field-goal attempts and has missed just one of his 20 PATs, laying an early foundation for a season that could be even more productive than his standout 2023 campaign.

Perfect on six kicks Thursday
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 53, 32 and 53 yards and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 36-30 overtime loss to the Falcons on Thursday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin once again put his elite long-distance prowess on display with his pair of 50-plus yard boots, his fourth and fifth makes from that distance in as many attempts this season. The veteran is still perfect on field-goal tries (10-for-10) on the campaign and will continue to serve as a top fantasy option thanks to his leg strength, accuracy and connection to a talented Buccaneers offense.

McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts from 21 and 52 yards and converted three of four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 33-16 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin recorded yet another one of his signature 50+ yard kicks and also made good on a chip shot, but he missed the first extra-point attempt of not just his season-plus Buccaneers, but since the 2021 campaign. Despite the exceedingly rare stumble, McLaughlin continues to be one of the most effective placekickers from both a real-word and fantasy perspective, as he's quickly amassed 31 points over four games.

Victim of circumstance Sunday
McLaughlin did not log any field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Analysis: The veteran kicker hasn't been used to spending the majority of a game on the sideline during his year-plus Buccaneers tenure, but Sunday was a forgettable day all the way around for Tampa Bay.

Another long make Sunday
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 30 and 55 yards and drilled both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-16 win over the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin's capable long-range leg was on full display during his 55-yarder early in the first quarter, pushing his accuracy from 50-plus yards to 90.0 percent over his first season plus with the Buccaneers. After an inconsistent preseason, McLaughlin has flipped the switch, going 5-for-5 on field goals and 6-for-6 on PATs over the first two regular-season contests. The veteran should have his fair share of opportunities again in a Week 3 home matchup against the Broncos.

McLaughlin converted all three field-goal attempts -- from 56, 34 and 29 yards -- while also drilling all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 37-20 win over the Commanders on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin had a somewhat rocky preseason, but when the proverbial lights came on in Week 1, the veteran kicker was as good as he looked during a career-best 2023 season. McLaughlin kicked all his field goals in the first half, starting with the 56-yarder that capped off Tampa Bay's first possession.

The 28-year-old kicker made a career-best 93.5 percent of his field goal attempts last season, going 29 of 31 while making all 33 of his extra points.

McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt from 51 yards and made all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 24-14 preseason win over the Dolphins on Friday night.

The veteran had missed from 51 yards in the first preseason game against the Bengals, but he knocked through seven of eight tries from 50-plus during a stellar 2023.

Misses again in Saturday's loss
McLaughlin missed his only field-goal attempt, from 42 yards out, and made his sole extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 20-7 preseason loss to the Jaguars on Saturday night.
Analysis: That's two misses in as many preseason contests for McLaughlin, who parlayed a career-best 93.5 percent success rate on field-goal attempts across 17 regular-season games in 2023 to score a three-year extension this offseason. McLaughlin doesn't have any competition on the roster and could well just be working through some kinks, but an unblemished performance in the exhibition finale against the Dolphins on Friday night would certainly build some confidence.

Rare miss in preseason opener
McLaughlin made a 35-yard field goal and misfired on a 51-yard attempt while also making both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 17-14 preseason win over the Bengals on Saturday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin posted a career-best 93.5 percent success rate on field goals during the 2023 regular season and went 7-for-8 on attempts from 50-plus yards, so Saturday's miss was an outlier with respect to his time on the Buccaneers. The veteran placekicker's job is completely secure heading into the 2024 season, and McLaughlin should have a chance to continue working out the kinks over the final two preseason contests.

Rare miss to close out season
McLaughlin connected on a 43-yard field-goal attempt, hit the left upright on a 50-yard try and made both extra-point attempts in the Buccaneers' 31-23 divisional-round loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: The normally reliable McLaughlin had a rare long-distance hiccup, with the miss counting as only his third since the start of the regular season and second from 50-plus. Despite the small blemish on an otherwise perfect day, McLaughlin was stellar for the Buccaneers in the 2023 regular season and postseason, going a combined 33-for-36 on field-goal attempts and 38-for-38 on PATs. Having amply outplayed the one-year, $1.1 million deal he played on in 2023, McLaughlin is a virtual lock to garner…read more

McLaughlin drilled field-goal attempts of 28, 54 and 48 yards and also connected on both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 32-9 wild-card win over the Eagles on Monday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin put together a career-best 93.5 percent success rate on field goals and was perfect on 33 PATs across 17 regular-season games, so Monday night's performance was simply an extension of his outstanding campaign.

McLaughlin generated a career-best 93.5 percent success rate (29-for-31) on field goals and a perfect 33-for-33 on PATs during the Buccaneers' 17 regular-season contests.

Disappointing day in Week 17
McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 23-13 loss to the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: After multiple productive games, McLaughlin was a victim of the Buccaneers' especially poor offensive performance, one that saw them fail to put any points on the board until the fourth quarter. McLaughlin's single point on the afternoon was his lowest output of the season and snapped an eight-game streak of multiple PATs.

Analysis: The game marked McLaughlin's second straight double-digit point tally, with Sunday's 12 points besting Week 15's total by two. The 51-yard make also was McLaughlin's sixth in seven attempts from 50-plus yards this season, giving him an elite 85.7 percent success rate from that range.

Double-digit points in win
McLaughlin drilled field-goal attempts of 39 and 46 yards and made all four of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 34-20 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin turned in another unblemished day and pushed his success rate on field goals to an impressive 92 percent for the season. The veteran kicker also kept his PAT ledger perfect while improving to 29-for-29 on the season in that department, and another busy day could await in the Week 16 home battle against the Jaguars.

Another long kick in win
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 55 and 38 yards while also drilling all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 29-25 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin opened the scoring on the afternoon with his impressive 55-yarder in the first quarter, the kicker's fifth field goal of 50+ yards in six tries this season. McLaughlin also pushed his perfect PAT tally to 25-for-25 with his trio of extra points Sunday, but he'll be operating in what should be far from the climate-controlled conditions he enjoyed versus the Falcons when the Bucs travel to take on the Packers in Week 15.

Limited to PATs in win
McLaughlin did not attempt any field goals and made all three of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 21-18 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin did not get any field-goal tries for the second time in three games, although this time that unfolded in victory. The veteran kicker has been true on 41 of the 43 total kicks he's attempted through 12 games, including a perfect 22-for-22 tally on extra-point attempts. McLaughlin will have the benefit of kicking in a dome environment during Sunday's Week 14 divisional road clash against the Falcons.

Bounces back in Week 12 loss
McLaughlin converted field-goal attempts of 21 and 24 yards while also drilling both his extra-point tries in Sunday's 27-20 loss to the Colts.
Analysis: McLaughlin had been limited to just two PATs in the Week 11 loss to the 49ers, so Sunday represented a welcome bump in opportunity. McLaughlin now boasts a career-high 90.5 percent (19-for-21) success rate on field-goal attempts this season, and he's yet to miss any of his 19 extra-point tries. However, the Buccaneers' struggles on offense continue to cap his overall production, although a seemingly favorable matchup awaits in Week 13 in the form of a visit from the lowly Panthers.

McLaughlin did not record any field-goal attempts and made both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-14 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin had been on a nice roll come into Sunday's game, having logged multiple field-goal attempts in six straight contests. However, the 49ers defense did a number on Tampa Bay's offense most of the afternoon, causing two turnovers, forcing three punts and booting the Bucs off the field on downs in two other instances.

Another solid showing Sunday
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 25 and 35 yards and converted both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-6 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin's perfect day was par for the course for the veteran kicker, who's now boasting an 89.5 percent success rate on field goals and remains a perfect 15-for-15 on PATs. The Buccaneers offense is about as middle of the road as it gets in terms of presenting McLaughlin scoring opportunities, but his efficiency keeps him as an above-average fantasy option most weeks.

Productive in high-scoring loss
McLaughlin made field-goal attempts of 35, 49 and 55 yards and drilled all four extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 39-37 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: One week after logging just two field-goal attempts and having one blocked, McLaughlin was the other end of the spectrum in terms of opportunity. The high-scoring affair led to McLaughlin racking up a season-high 13 points while connecting on his fourth field goal of 50+ yards this season. McLaughlin has proven quite the find for Tampa Bay, missing just two of 30 total kicks and offering stellar long-range accuracy.

Long field goal in Week 8 loss
McLaughlin connected on a 57-yard field goal but had a 50-yard attempt blocked in the Buccaneers' 24-18 loss to the Bills on Thursday night. He made his only extra-point try.
Analysis: McLaughlin had the elation of tying a career best with his 57-yard field goal partly offset by the blocked attempt, but he continues to be a highly reliable real-world scoring option for the Buccaneers. That's slightly less the case from a fantasy perspective, considering McLaughlin has logged as many as three field-goal attempts just once this season and has attempted two extra points overall over the last three games. The fifth-year pro could have more opportunities to put points on the board…read more

Perfect in Week 7 loss
McLaughlin drilled field-goal attempts from 24 and 36 yards and made his only extra-point attempt in the Buccaneers' 16-13 loss to the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin pushed his streak of perfect kicking performances to four games with Sunday's showing. The fifth-year pro has seen a pair of field-goal opportunities apiece in three consecutive contests, but with the Buccaneers hitting plenty of snags offensively over the last two games, his only extra-point attempt in that span was the one he converted against the Falcons. McLaughlin could have an uphill battle for scoring opportunities again in Thursday night's Week 8 road matchup against the…read more

Six points in Week 6 loss
McLaughlin made field-goal attempts from 33 and 36 yards and did not attempt any extra points in the Buccaneers' 20-6 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Analysis: The Buccaneers offense offered McLaughlin scant opportunities to put points on the board, but he made good on the two chances he did see. Both of the veteran kicker's made field goals were close calls to varying degree, and McLaughlin now boasts a 90.0 percent success rate on his 10 field-goal attempts and has made all seven point-after tries heading into a Week 7 home divisional clash against the Falcons.

Perfect on four kicks Sunday
McLaughlin connected on field-goal attempts of 51 and 28 yards and also made both of his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-9 win over the Saints on Sunday.
Analysis: McLaughlin's perfect showing is quickly becoming par for the course for the journeyman kicker, who's settled in nicely to his latest NFL home by making seven of his first eight field-goal attempts, including two over 50 yards, and all seven extra-point tries. The Buccaneers offense has scored touchdowns in the red zone at exactly a 50.0 percent rate through four games, so McLaughlin figures to continue seeing plenty a fair share of field-goal tries moving forward.

Limited opportunity in Week 3 loss
McLaughlin drilled his only field-goal attempt, which came from 33 yards, and didn't attempt any extra points in the Buccaneers' 25-11 loss to the Eagles on Monday night.
Analysis: A week after he attempted six total kicks in a win against the Bears, McLaughlin had a quiet night thanks to an Eagles defense that mostly clamped down on the Buccaneers' ground and air attacks. Tampa Bay also went for a two-point conversion after its only touchdown, leaving McLaughlin and his fantasy managers looking ahead to what could be a more favorable scenario in a Week 4 road dome matchup against the Saints.

Solid showing in Week 2 win
McLaughlin made two of three field-goal attempts (26 and 25 yards) and all three extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-17 win over the Bears on Sunday. He also had a 40-yard field-goal attempt blocked.
Analysis: The block came on the first play of the second quarter and served as the only blemish on McLaughlin's afternoon, and season, thus far. McLaughlin's two field-goal tries Sunday were essentially chip shots, but he has already proven his long-distance prowess once this season by nailing a 57-yarder in the Week 1 win over the Vikings. McLaughlin may have fewer overall opportunities Week 3, however, as a tough Eagles defense comes to town for a showdown next Monday night.

Perfect showing in Week 1 win
McLaughlin drilled field-goal attempts from 36 and 57 yards and also connected on both his extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 20-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
Analysis: The Bucs couldn't have asked for a better regular-season debut performance from their new placekicker, with McLaughlin particularly impressing with his critical 57-yard make that snapped a 17-17 tie with 5:10 remaining and proved to be the final margin of victory.

Stellar finish to preseason
McLaughlin connected on field goals of 47, 27, 38 and 48 yards while also drilling both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 26-20 preseason win over the Ravens on Saturday night.
Analysis: McLaughlin commemorated his victory over Rodrigo Blankenship in their summer job battle by validating the coaching staff's decision with a perfect showing. The fifth-year pro could be a valuable fantasy asset if he can improve on his career 78.8 percent field-goal conversion rate, considering he'll be attached to a Buccaneers offense that boasts superior pass-catching talent but is helmed by arguably only a slightly above-average quarterback in Baker Mayfield.

Lone kicker on roster
Tampa Bay waived Rodrigo Blankenship on Monday, leaving McLaughlin as the team's only kicker, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin and Blankenship had been competing to succeed Ryan Succop, who the Bucs let go in March. Assuming no other kickers are brought in by the team, McLaughlin is slated to handle the Week 1 assignment, with his fantasy upside this coming season tied to how the team's offense fares while being helmed by either Baker Mayfield or Kyle Trask.

Limited to extra points Friday
McLaughlin converted both extra-point tries in the Buccaneers' 27-17 preseason loss to the Steelers on Friday. He did not record any field-goal attempts.
Analysis: McLaughlin's competition for the placekicker job, Rodrigo Blankenship, successfully handled the Buccaneers' lone field-goal attempt from 35 yards out. Consequently, the battle between the two kickers seemingly remains as tight as ever heading into another week of training camp practices ahead of next Saturday's road preseason matchup against the Jets.

Kicking competition close early
McLaughlin and his competitor for the starting placekicker job, Rodrigo Blankenship, have been running very close in their job battle heading into Friday's preseason opener versus the Steelers, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: Both kickers already have a solid amount of NFL experience on their resumes, so the battle could well extend clean through the third preseason game. The two are likely to split field-goal and extra-point opportunities Friday, and Smith reports that Wednesday's dead-even kicking derby in practice that saw both players go a perfect 4-for-4 on attempts of varying distances was emblematic of how close the competition has been.

Will have notable camp competition
McLaughlin will engage in a training camp battle for the starting placekicker job with Rodrigo Blankenship, who signed with the Buccaneers on June 16, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: The two kickers are familiar with each other, considering Blankenship beat out McLauglin for the right to replace the just-retired Adam Vinatieri during Colts training camp in 2020. McLaughlin then served as Blankenship's replacement last season in Indianapolis after the latter's release following Week 1. With both kickers having a solid amount of NFL experience in their young careers, the latest battle could come down to the final preseason game.

Wins kicking competition
McLaughlin is the lone kicker remaining on Tampa Bay's roster after the team waived Jake Verity on Wednesday, Greg Auman of Fox Sports reports.
Analysis: Tampa Bay didn't make a corresponding move with Verity's release, so for the time being, McLaughlin looks set to head into training camp atop the depth chart. However, expect the Buccaneers to bring in another kicker to compete with McLaughlin at some point later in the offseason. Over the last two seasons, McLaughlin has gone 45-for-57 on field-goal tries and 57-for-58 on extra-point attempts.

McLaughlin went 1-for-2 on field-goal attempts while making his only extra-point try in Sunday's 38-10 loss to the Giants.
Analysis: McLaughlin made a chip-shot 23-yard field goal on the Colts' second possession of the game before later missing a 48-yard try wide right early in the third quarter. The kicker was able to make his only PAT attempt in the third period as well, maintaining a perfect 17-for-17 on extra points this season.

Analysis: McLaughlin put the Colts on the board with a 46-yard field goal in the second quarter, cutting the Chargers' lead to 7-3. However, he didn't get any more opportunities after that, as Indianapolis' offense couldn't generate any consistency with Nick Foles at the helm.

McLaughlin will be challenged for the starting placekicker job after Cleveland selected Cade York in the fourth round of the 2022 Draft, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin appeared to stabilize the Browns' kicking woes early in 2021 but faded in the second half. He converted six of 12 field-goal attempts from Week 7 and beyond and finished just 4-for-10 from between 40 and 49 yards.

McLaughlin enters offseason activities as the incumbent, but the job will be York's to lose.

Back with Browns
Cleveland re-signed McLaughlin on Tuesday.
Analysis: McLaughlin wasn't initially tendered a contract for the 2022 season, but the Browns have now re-signed him as a free agent. He served as the team's starting kicker in 2021, when he made his first nine field-goal-attempts of the year but then went 6-for-12 down the stretch.

Let go by Cleveland
McLaughlin became an unrestricted free agent Wednesday after the Browns elected not to tender him a contract for 2022, Brandon Little of SI.com reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin served as Cleveland's kicker during the 2021 campaign and made his first nine field-goal attempts of the season, but he went 6-for-12 on field goals down the stretch, with all six misses coming between 40 and 49 yards. The 25-year-old has already kicked for six NFL teams since going undrafted out of Illinois in 2019.

Makes all three extra points
McLaughlin did not attempt a field goal and converted all three extra-point kicks in Week 18's 21-16 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: McLaughlin converted his final seven kicks (all extra points) of the season, but a spate of misses in the second half left his hold on the job tenuous. A waiver wire pickup in the offseason, the 25-year-old McLaughlin won the job out of camp and initially stabilized Cleveland's shaky kicking game before cracks emerged. He made 15 of 21 field-goal attempts and missed six of 10 between 40 and 49 yards. There's a reason why he's been with six organizations in six NFL seasons. The Browns are likely…read more

Converts two extra points
McLaughlin successfully converted two extra-point kicks and did not have a field-goal attempt in Monday's 26-14 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: McLaughlin returned to action after missing a week while on the reserve/COVID-19 list. While he managed to avoid a missed kick for the first time in five games, McLaughlin is on thin ice entering the offseason. There have been too many missed kicks for a team whose offense has averaged just 16.9 points per game since Week 5.

Off COVID list
Cleveland activated McLaughlin (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday.
Analysis: In a related move, the Browns released Chris Naggar, who filled in for McLaughlin as the Browns' kicker in the team's Week 16 loss to Green Bay. McLaughlin is currently on track to return to action Monday night versus the Steelers, and head coach Kevin Stefanski said earlier Thursday that he anticipates the 25-year-old being the team's kicker this week, according to Zac Jackson of The Athletic.

Remains team's kicker
McLaughlin will remain the Browns' kicker for Saturday's game against the Packers, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "Chase is our kicker," Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday.
Analysis: McLaughlin's slump won't cost him his job at this time. Speculation about a change has been ramping up the last several weeks, as the kicker made just four of nine field-goal attempts the last six weeks with all five misses coming from 40-to-49 yards. That includes a big miss Monday in a 16-14 loss to the Raiders. The Browns have Chris Naggar on the practice squad if Stefanski is compelled to make a change after Week 16.

No kicking change planned
Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski wouldn't answer when asked whether he was considering replacing McLaughlin as the team's kicker, Marla Ridenour of the Akron Beacon Journal reports. "I am not going to get into any roster-type things like that," Stefanski said. "Chase understands that he has to make those kicks. He puts as much pressure on himself as anybody else. He wants to come through, and we are counting on him."
Analysis: McLaughlin's missed 47-yard field-goal attempt proved costly in Monday's 16-14 loss to Las Vegas. The 25-year-old appeared to be the solution to the Browns' recent kicking woes early in the season, but cracks started to form Week 7. McLaughlin, who is with his sixth organization, has made 15 of 21 attempts, including just four of nine from 40-to-49 yards, with all the misses coming since Oct. 21.

Calls for job should increase
McLaughlin missed his lone field-goal attempt and converted two of two extra point kicks in Monday's 16-14 loss to Las Vegas.
Analysis: After nailing an attempt that was wiped out by the Raiders' late timeout call, McLaughlin missed wide right on a 41-yard attempt as time ran out in the first half. That would have made it a 10-3 game heading into the second half. He's misfired on field goals in five of the last six games, going 4-of-9 during the stretch.

McLaughlin will remain the Browns' kicker according to head coach Kevin Stefanski, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin started the season strong, making his first nine field-goal attempts on the year. Since then, he has made just five of 11 attempts, bringing his success rate down to 75 percent on the season. If his woes continue, it seems unlikely he'll retain his coach's confidence for much longer.

McLaughlin converted one of two field-goal attempts and three of three extra-point kicks in Sunday's 24-22 win over Baltimore.
Analysis: McLaughlin misfired on a 41-yard attempt, which clanged off the upright early in the fourth quarter. Had the Ravens converted a subsequent two-point attempt, a game with dire playoff implications could have been tied at 24. It was the third consecutive game he's missed on an attempt between 40 and 49 yards, and McLaughlin's made just four of nine (44 percent) field goals from that distance.

Dealing with new holder
McLaughlin will perform with a new holder due to punter/holder Jamie Gillan (COVID-19) being unavailable for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Nate Ulrich of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
Analysis: The Browns signed veteran punter Dustin Colquitt on Friday, when he joined them for practice and served as McLaughlin's holder. It may not be a big deal, but the new holder introduces a layer of uncertainty to the kicking packages. More so than the new holder, McLaughlin could be hampered by a Browns offense that produced just nine field-goal attempts and 14 extra-point kicks over the last seven games.

When asked about the kicker by reporters this week, special-teams coach Mike Priefer said he was confident in McLaughlin, whose previous misses were not a factor in games. That changed Sunday.

Retains coach's confidence
Cleveland special teams coach Mike Priefer said he remains confident in McLaughlin despite recent misses, Scott Petrak of The Chronicle-Telegram reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin's been accurate all season and none of his misses have been the reason for a loss, so it would be a surprise if the Browns moved on from him. He missed a field-goal attempt and had an extra-point kick blocked last week against the Lions, which Priefer told Petrak was the result of a low kick, not the protection. McLaughlin's made 13 of 16 field-goal attempts (81.2 percent) and 25 of 26 extra-point kicks (96.2 percent) in 2021.

Misses among few opportunities
McLaughlin missed his lone field-goal attempt and made one of two extra-point kicks in Sunday's 13-10 win over Detroit.
Analysis: In another game that's become increasingly normal for McLaughlin, the kicker did not have a lot of opportunities to put points on the board. That means every attempt is vital. He missed wide right on a 46-yard field-goal attempt, and the missed extra point was blocked. It was not ideal weather conditions for an offense, but Cleveland's scored 17 points or fewer in five of the past six games, rendering McLaughlin a lower-tier kicking option for fantasy managers.

Has little work in loss
McLaughlin did not attempt a field goal and made his lone extra-point kick in Sunday's 45-7 loss to New England.
Analysis: The Browns' offense has been maddeningly inconsistent this season, and not much was expected from it Week 10 when Cleveland was missing its top two running backs. McLaughlin has been spot-on when asked to kick, making 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 24 extra-point tries, but he ranks 17th in kicker scoring with 63 points and 20th with 15 FGA.

McLaughlin converted two of three field-goal attempts and five extra-point kicks in Sunday's 41-16 win over the Bengals.
Analysis: McLaughlin's endured very few scoring opportunities the previous three weeks, scoring just 11 points, but he matched that total in Sunday's win. The game was the best Cleveland's offense looked in weeks. McLaughlin, a journeyman placekicker, has performed well for the Browns, nailing 13 of 15 field-goal attempts and all 23 extra-point kicks.

McLaughlin was successful on one field-goal attempt and one extra-point kick in Sunday's 15-10 loss to the Steelers.
Analysis: McLaughlin rebounded from his only missed kick of the season -- a blocked FGA last week -- and produced points whenever asked. The downside is that Cleveland's sputtering and inconsistent offense didn't afford him many chances. McLaughlin has scored just 11 points over the last three weeks.

McLaughlin converted one of two field-goal attempts and two of two extra-point kicks in Thursday's 17-14 win over Denver.
Analysis: McLaughlin was good from 52 yards -- he's 4-of-4 this season from 50 and beyond -- but had a 41-yard attempt blocked. While the failed attempt is technically a missed field goal, McLaughlin has been perfect on kicks that are not blocked in 2021.

Remains perfect in low-output game
McLaughlin made two of two extra-point kicks and did not attempt a field goal in Sunday's 37-14 loss to Arizona.
Analysis: McLaughlin did all that he was asked to do, but Cleveland's defense got rolled by the Cardinals and the offense couldn't keep up as it did last week in a 47-42 loss to the Chargers. When needed, McLaughlin has been a steady boot for the Browns, making all nine field-goal attempts and 15 extra-point kicks.

Analysis: McLaughlin, who has not missed a kick yet, converted from 48 and 53 yards in the win. It was his third successful attempt from beyond the 50. The Browns lined up for an extra-point kick following their lone touchdown, but a defensive delay-of-game penalty changed their thinking. With the penalty enforced, Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski opted to go for a two-pointer from the one-yard line, and the team was successful.

That left his status murky entering fantasy drafts, but he did nothing to lose the job Sunday.

His lone field-goal miss was a 56-yard attempt at the end of the first half -- it hit the crossbar.

McLaughlin is in position to handle the Browns' kicking duties with Cody Parkey headed to IR with a quad injury, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: That said, it's quite plausible that the Browns could bring another kicker aboard to challenge McLaughlin, but for now the 25-year-old, who's had regular-season stints with a handful of teams over the last two campaigns, will work behind Cleveland's Baker Mayfield-led offense.

In this past Sunday's 40-3 loss to the Seahawks, Jets kicker Sergio Castillo missed three of four field-goal tries, and his tenure with the team is likely coming to an end.

McLaughlin made one of two field-goal attempts and one of two extra-point attempts during Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Vikings.

McLaughlin then came up short on a desperation 62-yard field goal at the end of regulation, sending the game to overtime.

The game against the Browns next week certainly provides a better matchup, but the inconsistency of the Jaguars offense severely limits any fantasy potential.

McLaughlin thus will miss each of the Jaguars' three practices this week, but assuming he arrives in Green Bay this weekend and clears the necessary protocols, he should serve as the team's kicker Sunday against the Packers. Punter Logan Cooke will practice placekicking and kickoffs this week in the event…read more

Set to kick for Jacksonville
The Jaguars signed McLaughlin off the Vikings' practice squad Tuesday.
Analysis: McLaughlin won't immediately count against Jacksonville's 53-man roster while he completes COVID-19 testing and screening protocols upon joining a new organization, but the Jaguars expect to have him available to serve as their kicker Sunday in Green Bay. With Jacksonville recently shutting top kicker Josh Lambo (hip) down for the season, McLaughlin is likely to kick for the team for at least two games before potentially ceding his role to practice-squad member Aldrick Rosas (suspension), who…read more

Lands on practice squad
The Vikings signed McLaughlin to the practice squad Tuesday, Andrew Krammer of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
Analysis: The Vikings will roll with placekicker Dan Bailey to kick off the 2020 campaign, as expected, with McLaughlin around as an emergency option. McLaughlin filled in admirably for Adam Vinatieri across four appearances with the Colts last season.

Loses competition with Blankenship
The Colts will waive McLaughlin, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for the injured Adam Vinatieri down the stretch last year, but he was beaten out for the Colts' 2020 kicking job by rookie Rodrigo Blankenship.

Slight setback in kicking battle
Rodrigo Blankenship outperformed McLaughlin in Saturday's scrimmage, making six of seven field goals, the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: Blankenship made kicks of 33, 37, 41, 52, 56 and 57 yards and missed from 48. McLaughlin made four of seven kicks, converting from 33, 37, 41 and 57 yards and missing from 48, 52 and 56 yards. McLaughlin had performed better than Blankenship in the first scrimmage, so the battle for the placekicking job remains close. However, McLaughlin is still the favorite as a veteran since he made five of six field-goal attempts and all 11 PATs in his stint with the Colts last season.

Lead in kicking job battle
McLaughlin was 8-for-8 in field goal attempts in Monday's scrimmage at Lucas Oil Stadium and appears to have a lead over rookie Rodrigo Blankenship, Stephen Holder of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: Blankenship was 5-for-8 in field-goal attempts, with misses from 39, 44 and 53 yards. McLaughlin looks likely to win the job, but the team may not announce the starting placekicker until shortly before Week 1.

Performing well so far
McLaughlin has done well in the Colts' kicking competition thus far, Joel A. Erickson of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin is competing with rookie Rodrigo Blankenship to replace future Hall of Famer Adam Vinatieri ahead of the upcoming campaign. Despite being pitted against Blankenship, who joins the Colts after a prolific college career at Georgia, McLaughlin has helped mentor the undrafted kicker early in camp. According to coach Frank Reich, both players have fared well while being tested in a variety of ways thus far, so it'll be worthwhile to monitor whether one kicker gains a leg up in the coming…read more

Receives extension from Indianpolis
McLaughlin signed a one-year extension with the Colts on Monday.
Analysis: The 23-year-old served as the Colts' kicker for the final four games in place of Adam Vinatieri (knee), and it makes sense the team would like to keep him around since the veteran isn't guaranteed to return for a 25th NFL season. McLaughlin finished the season 18-for-23 on field goals and 26-for-26 on extra points between 11 games with the Chargers, 49ers and Colts.

Makes lone field-goal attempt
McLaughlin converted his only field-goal attempt and all five extra-point attempts during Sunday's 38-6 win over the Panthers.
Analysis: The 23-year-old made his only field goal during the third quarter as the Colts were seemingly in command of this contest from the start. McLaughlin is now 3-for-4 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points in three games since taking over for Adam Vinatieri (knee).

Converts lone extra point
McLaughlin didn't attempt a field goal and made a lone extra-point attempt in Monday's 34-7 loss to the Saints.
Analysis: The game script kept McLaughlin from making a real impact in this blowout loss. The Colts opted to punt from the Saints' 39-yard line in the first quarter, and that would've been the only chance for McLaughlin to attempt a field goal, as they finished with just 205 yards of total offense. McLaughlin made two of three field goals, including a 50-yarder, in his Colts debut in Week 14, and he'll hope for more opportunities in this Sunday's matchup against the panthers.

Solid in team debut
McLaughlin connected on two of three field goals and all three of his extra-point tries in Sunday's 38-35 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: McLaughlin nailed field goals from 50 and 19 yards, but he missed one from 47. This is the rookie's third team of the season, but it should be his last move -- McLaughlin is expected to retain his starting kicker role with the Colts for the foreseeable future, as Adam Vinatieri is set to undergo season-ending knee surgery.

Kicking for Indy in Week 14
McLaughlin will serve as the Colts' kicker Week 14 against the Buccaneers after Adam Vinatieri was ruled out with a knee injury, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: As anticipated, McLaughlin will step in to kick for his third different team this season after Vinatieri's knee injury prevented him from practicing Thursday and Friday. The Colts haven't yet determined if Vinatieri will be available again this season, as coach Frank Reich said Friday that the veteran is viewed as week-to-week, per Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star.

Likely to kick in Week 14
McLaughlin is expected to serve as the Colts' kicker Week 14 against the Buccaneers after Adam Vinatieri (knee) expressed doubt about his availability for Sunday's game, Mike Wells of ESPN.com reports. "I don't have an answer," Vinatieri said, when asked Thursday about his status for Week 14 and the rest of the season. "I don't know. We'll see how [the injured knee] feels [Friday] and the next day and the next day."
Analysis: After experiencing increased discomfort in his left knee, Vinatieri was listed as a limited practice participant on the Colts' first injury report of Week 14, prompting Indianapolis to put in a waiver claim for McLaughlin later that day. Vinatieri underwent an MRI on Thursday, but the Colts are still awaiting the results of the tests before commenting on his availability moving forward. Given that the 46-year-old has already missed a total of 14 kicks (eight field goals, six extra points) and…read more

Claimed by Indy
The Colts claimed McLaughlin off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday.
Analysis: The move comes after veteran kicker Adam Vinatieri (knee) was limited at practice Wednesday. McLaughlin previously kicked for the Chargers and 49ers this season, hitting 13 of his 17 field-goal attempts and all 15 of his extra-point tries across seven games.

Let go by 49ers
The 49ers waived McLaughlin on Tuesday, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for Robbie Gould in three contests for San Francisco, converting an admirable seven of eight field-goal tries and all eight extra-point attempts. Given his impressive performance, McLaughlin could be a candidate to draw interest elsewhere in the league should other clubs face kicker issues.

Healthy scratch Sunday
McLaughlin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against Baltimore, Matt Barrows of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin has filled in admirably for the injured Robbie Gould (quadriceps), going seven for eight on his field goal attempts and nailing all eight of his extra points. McLaughlin's services won't be needed for the 49ers on Sunday, as the aforementioned Gould returns from injury.

Huge game on SNF
McLaughlin went 3-for-3 on field-goal attempts and 4-for-4 on extra-point tries in Sunday's 37-8 victory over the Packers.
Analysis: McLaughlin stayed perfect for the second consecutive week following his ugly shank against the Seahawks back in Week 10. The undrafted rookie continues to start for Robbie Gould (quadriceps), and while the latter is progressing (kicked during practice last week), his status for Sunday's matchup against Baltimore is unclear at the moment. Either kicker would be a solid fantasy option for an offense that is moving the ball with ease recently.

Starting against Packers
McLaughlin will serve as the 49ers' kicker for Sunday's game against the Packers with Robbie Gould (hip) inactive.
Analysis: For the third straight game, McLaughlin will work as the team's starting kicker. The rookie has been solid, connecting on four of five field goals and all four extra-point tries. Gould is making progress in recovery, according to Nick Wagoner of ESPN.com, so McLaughlin's days in the Bay Area may soon be numbered.

Perfect as fill-in
McLaughlin converted his lone field-goal attempt from 43 yards out and was 3-for-3 on point-after tries in Sunday's 36-26 win over Arizona.
Analysis: McLaughlin didn't suffer any mental blocks after shanking a potential game-winning field goal against Seattle last week, as he was a perfect 4-for-4 overall on kicks in a tight contest. Robbie Gould's (quadriceps) status will be up in the air heading into a primetime matchup against the Packers on Sunday, while the rookie fill-in has likely won back the trust of the team to continue kicking in the event its veteran starter is unable to go.

Kicking against Cardinals
McLaughlin will be the 49ers' kicker in Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals because Robbie Gould (quadriceps) is inactive, Matt Maiocco of NBC Sports Bay Area reports.
Analysis: This decision was expected after Gould carried a doubtful tag into this outing. McLaughlin was solid in his first start with the 49ers last week, connecting on three of four field-goal attempts, including two over 40 yards. Although the rookie missed a potential game-winning kick, coach Kyle Shanahan has faith in McLaughlin, who will look to build off of Week 10's performance in this divisional matchup.

Likely set for Week 11 kicking duties
McLaughlin is expected to remain the 49ers' kicker Sunday against the Cardinals with Robbie Gould (quadriceps) listed as doubtful for the contest, Cam Inman of The San Jose Mercury News reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin filled in for Gould in Monday's 27-24 overtime loss to the Seahawks, nailing an extra point and field goals from 39, 43 and 47 yards in regulation but badly missing on a 47-yard game winner will less than three minutes left in the extra period. Despite the misfire, McLaughlin appears set to get another shot at redemption in Week 11, barring an unexpected recovery from Gould over the next two days.

Misses clutch kick
McLaughlin converted three of four field-goal attempts along with his lone extra-point try in Monday's 27-24 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: McLaughlin was filling in for the seasoned Robbie Gould (quadriceps), and his inexperience showed when he horribly botched an attempt to win the game in overtime. In his defense, the rookie kicker did convert twice late in the game to tie up the contest. Gould's status is still unclear for Sunday's matchup with Arizona, but McLaughlin would surely get bypassed if the former is ready to play.

Joins 49ers
The 49ers signed McLaughlin to a one-year contract Thursday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: McLaughlin's opportunity in San Francisco comes with Robbie Gould nursing a strained quad. In the event that Gould isn't able to fully recover in time for Monday's tilt against the Seahawks, McLaughlin would be in line to handle kicking duties. The Illinois product appeared in four games with the Chargers earlier this season, converting six of nine field-goal attempts and all seven extra-point tries.
