Rodrigo Blankenship Fantasy

Rookie kicker Rodrigo Blankenship has beaten out Chase McLaughlin in the competition to be the kicker for the Indianapolis Colts. McLaughlin reportedly had a strong camp, but Blankenship's college resume helped him win the role, leading to the team releasing McLaughlin. Blankenship was a career 82.5 percent kicker in college and made all 200 of his extra points. He should be a solid fantasy kicker in 2020. Meanwhile, if McLaughlin lands a job, he can be a solid streaming option, but he also bounced around between three teams as a rookie and might not have much of a long term NFL future.

The Indianapolis Colts have agreed to a deal with undrafted free-agent kicker Rodrigo Blankenship. The former Georgia Bulldog made 82.5 percent of his field-goal attempts in his four years of college ball and was a perfect 200-for-200 on extra points. Blankenship will provide some needed competition with Chase McLaughlin, who bounced between three teams as a rookie and was 18-for-23 on field-goal attempts last year. Look for Blankenship to have a great shot at the starting kicker job for the Colts, where he could be a solid fantasy streaming option. This is, of course, assuming that Adam Vinatieri decides to move on and hang up his cleats.
