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. 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.

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. 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.
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. 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.
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. 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 versus a tough Chiefs defense on the road next Monday night.
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. 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. While being attached to a high-powered Tampa Bay offense, McLaughlin has recorded at least nine points in four of the first seven games, but his scoring opportunities could become more limited over the next few games after the Buccaneers lost their top two receivers (Mike Evans and Chris Godwin) to injuries in Monday's loss.
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. McLaughlin was limited to under 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 point-after tries, laying an early foundation for a season that could be even more productive than his standout 2023 campaign.
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. McLaughlin once again put his elite long-distance prowess on display with his pair of 50+ 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 could be poised for another prolific performance when he faces off with the Saints in a dome environment in Week 6.
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. 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.
McLaughlin did not attempt any field-goal attempts and made his only extra-point try in the Buccaneers' 26-7 loss to the Broncos on Sunday. 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. The significantly subdued offensive performance -- Baker Mayfield threw for only 163 yards and took seven sacks -- kept McLaughlin from any field-goal opportunities, only the fourth time that's happened since the start of last season and the second in which the scenario also featured just a sole point-after attempt. McLaughlin should have more scoring chances in a Week 4 home matchup against the Eagles.
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. McLaughlin's capable long-range leg was on full display during his 55-yarder early in the first quarter, pushing his accuracy from 50+ 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.
