Chase McLaughlin turned in a perfect kicking performance on Sunday, going 3-of-3 on field goals and converting his lone extra point attempt in a game played in brutal weather. For fantasy managers, it was another reminder that he remains one of the top kickers in fantasy football this season.
The big takeaway was not just that McLaughlin was accurate, but that he was asked to keep delivering from range. He knocked through field goals from 46, 34 and 42 yards in the first half, giving the Buccaneers steady points when conditions could easily have made life difficult for specialists.
A clean day from distance
McLaughlin's work from 46, 34 and 42 yards underlined how reliable he can be when Tampa Bay needs points without having to reach the end zone. In games shaped by weather, that kind of consistency matters even more.
There was no drama in the final numbers: three field goals, one extra point, and no misses. That is exactly the sort of return that keeps a kicker in the fantasy conversation, especially when the opportunities are there and the execution is clean.
For now, McLaughlin stays right where fantasy managers want him: among the safest and most productive kicking options available.
