Chase McLaughlin Fantasy

The Indianapolis Colts claimed kicker Chase McLaughlin off waivers from the 49ers on Wednesday and waived tight end Matt Lengel in a corresponding move. The 23-year-old McLaughlin was released by the Bills during final cuts and has spent time with the Vikings, Chargers and 49ers since. In seven games with the Chargers and Niners in 2019, McLaughlin has hit 13 of 17 field goals (76.5 percent) and all 15 of his extra-point tries. With Adam Vinatieri (knee) ailing and having the worst season of his career, McLaughlin could be in line to kick for Indy to close out the season. As of now, he won't be on the streaming radar for the first week of the fantasy playoffs.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Chase McLaughlin made three field goals and four extra points in his team's 37-8 victory over the Green Bay Packers. The rookie was busy in this one, as the 49ers offense moved down the field but stalled in the red zone. That's where McLaughlin came in, nailing three field goals for the second time this year. After missing three kicks earlier in the year with the Los Angeles Chargers, he's missed only one with the 49ers in three games. McLaughlin will draw a Week 13 matchup with the Baltimore Ravens, who rank 23rd in fantasy points allowed to kickers.

San Francisco 49ers kicker Chase McLaughlin has started two straight games while starting kicker Robbie Gould (quadriceps) has been out. Gould is yet to practice this week and appears to be trending towards missing his third straight game. McLaughlin has converted for of his five field goal attempts and all four of his extra-point attempts in Gould's absence. This week, the 49ers face the Packers in a game that figures to be high-scoring. McLaughlin is worthy of starting this week, just make sure to keep an eye on Gould's status leading up to the game.
