Chase McLaughlin Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

The Bucs released K Rodrigo Blankenship. That leaves Chase McLaughlin as the only kicker on the roster. We'll see if Tampa adds any further competition over the next couple of weeks, but McLaughlin looks like a good bet to open the season as the Bucs' kicker. He's a weak fantasy option on an offense that figures to struggle post-Tom Brady.

The Bucs are signing K Rodrigo Blankenship, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Blankenship nailed 86.5% of his FG attempts as a rookie for the Colts back in 2020. But he missed most of 2021 with a hip injury and was dumped by the Colts last September. Blankenship had surgery in January to repair a torn muscle in his leg, per Rapoport, and is "finally healthy for the first time in over a year." He'll compete with K Chase McLaughlin for Tampa's starting job.

The Browns have released kickers Chris Blewitt and Chase McLaughlin. McLaughlin attempted all but 1 of Cleveland’s FGs last year, drilling just 71.4%. The moves pave the way for rookie 4th-rounder Cade York to handle kicking duties in 2022.

Browns K Chase McLaughlin has been placed on the COVID list and will miss Saturday's game vs. the Packers. He'll be replaced by K Chris Naggar, who has yet to attempt a regular-season kick. Look elsewhere for Week 16 fantasy lineups.

Browns K Chase McLaughlin (hamstring) is active for today’s game against the Chiefs. We’d still opt for a healthier option for Week 1 fantasy lineups.

Browns K Chase McLaughlin (hamstring) was added to the injury report on Friday and is listed as questionable for this weekend's game vs. the Chiefs. We'll keep tabs on his status but would look elsewhere for Week 1 fantasy lineups.

6:08pm EDT 8/23/21

Browns K Cody Parkey has been placed on IR with a quad injury. That leaves Chase McLaughlin as Cleveland's starter. We'll see if the team adds any competition.

The Colts have released K Chase McLaughlin. That's a bit surprising. He filled in for an injured Adam Vinatieri last year, making 5 of 6 FGs and all 11 extra-point attempts over the final 4 games. The release appears to leave rookie Rodrigo Blankenship as the winner of the kicker competition. All the reports we'd seen out of Colts camp had Blankenship not performing particularly well. This doesn't look like a kicker situation to target in your fantasy football drafts. But if you take a Colts kicker, make sure it's not McLaughlin.

Colts K Adam Vinatieri will undergo surgery on his injured knee and be placed on IR, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports. This could be the end of the line for the 46-year-old, who's missed 8 FGs and 6 XPs this season. Chase McLaughlin will continue kicking for the Colts.

Colts K Adam Vinatieri (knee) is out for Sunday’s game against the Bucs. Recently signed Chase McLaughlin will kick in Vinatieri’s place.

Colts K Adam Vinatieri (knee) is "unlikely" to play against the Bucs this weekend, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. "You have to wonder whether perhaps we've seen a legendary kicker's final attempt in the NFL," Pelissero adds. Chase McLaughlin will kick for the Colts at least this weekend -- and maybe beyond.

The Colts have signed K Chase McLaughlin, who's made 13 of 17 FG tries with the Chargers and 49ers this season. It's noteworthy considering K Adam Vinatieri has struggled all year and was limited in Wednesday's practice with a knee issue. We'll keep an eye on this, but try to avoid the situation in Week 14 fantasy lineups.

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is inactive for tonight’s game against the Packers. Chase McLaughlin kicks again for San Francisco.

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is listed as doubtful for Sunday night’s game against the Packers. Chase McLaughlin will kick again for San Francisco.

2:11pm EST 11/17/19

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is inactive for today’s game against the Cardinals. Chase McLaughlin kicks again for the ‘Niners.

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is listed as doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals. Chase McLaughlin will kick again for the ‘Niners. He connected on 3 of 4 FG attempts in last week’s loss to the Seahawks and is a viable Week 11 fantasy play with San Francisco sporting a big 27.5-point implied total.

49ers K Robbie Gould (quad) is listed as doubtful for Week 10. Chase McLaughlin will kick for the 'Niners against the Seahawks on Monday night.

49ers K Robbie Gould is dealing with a quad injury and is "very much in doubt" for Monday night's game against the Seahawks. San Francisco has signed Chase McLaughlin, who will kick vs. Seattle if Gould can't. We'll keep an eye on the situation, but try to avoid it in Week 10 fantasy lineups.

The Chargers have released Chase McLaughlin, who kicked for them the past 4 weeks. It's unclear if L.A. will go back to K Ty Long or if K Mike Badgley is finally ready to return from his groin injury. Avoid the situation in Week 9 fantasy lineups.

Chargers K Mike Badgley (groin) is inactive for today’s game against the Titans. Chase McLaughin kicks again for L.A.
