• Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Closes out season impressively

  01/07/2025 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.

• Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Perfect on eight kicks Sunday

  12/31/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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 the Week 18 regular-season finale against the Saints.

• Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Clean performance in loss

  12/24/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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 with two games remaining.

• Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Kicker to Start

  12/19/2024 • By Jamey Eisenberg

  McLaughlin had four field goals and four PATs in Week 15 at the Chargers for 18 Fantasy points, and he has now scored at least 16 points in two of his past three games. This week, he's facing a Cowboys team that is No. 10 in most Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, and five kickers have made at least 10 Fantasy points against Dallas this season.

• Buccaneers' Chase McLaughlin: Prolific afternoon in win

  12/17/2024 • By RotoWire

  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. 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.
