Shows off leg in Week 2 loss McLaughlin made all four of his field-goal attempts and his lone extra-point try during the Buccaneers' 23-19 loss to the Browns on Sunday.

Impact McLaughlin ended up contributing 13 of the Buccaneers' 19 points during Sunday's loss, which included a nearly two-hour delay due to inclement weather. He got the Buccaneers on the board early with a 59-yard field goal before connecting on a 45-yard kick and two 31-yard tries. McLaughlin's four made field goals were his most in a game since Week 3 of the 2025 season (five), and his 13 made field goals of 50-plus yards since the start of last year are most in the NFL.

Impact McLaughlin got the scoring started in this one, converting a 34-yard field goal early in the first quarter before later making a 51-yard kick in the third quarter to cut the Bengals' lead to 14 points. The veteran kicker finished 2025 as fantasy's No. 12 kicker in points per game after making a career-best 11 field goals from 50-plus yards. He'll be in a good spot next Sunday at home against the lowly Browns, who just surrendered 34 points to the Jaguars in Week 1.

Set for fourth season as Bucs' kicker McLaughlin is slated to be Tampa Bay's primary placekicker for the fourth consecutive campaign in 2026.

Impact McLaughlin got limited opportunities early in his career, but he's played in 16 or 17 contests each of the past five years, the last three of which have been with the Bucs. He was incredibly accurate in making 94 percent of his FG attempts over his first two seasons with the club, and though that rate dropped a bit to 84 percent last year, McLaughlin also hit a career-high 11 field goals from 50-plus yards (on 12 attempts). He'll be in the final year of the three-year contract he inked in 2024, which could give McLaughlin additional incentive to make a big impact with his leg.

Entering contract year McLaughlin is slated to play out the 2026 season on the final year of his contract with the Buccaneers, Logan Robinson and River Wells of SI.com report.

Impact McLaughlin suited up for all 17 regular-season games for Tampa Bay last season and made the most field goals of his career (32), though he also logged a career-low conversion rate on field-goal attempts (84.2 percent). Nonetheless, after he wen 11-for-12 on field-goal tries from 50-plus yards last season, McLaughlin is a solid candidate to bounce back in terms of accuracy in 2026. If he does so, McLaughlin will be primed to hit the open market in 2027 as one of the league's top available kickers.

Makes most FGs of career in 2025-26 McLaughlin went 3-for-4 on FG tries in Saturday's 16-14 win over Carolina and finished the campaign with a career-best 32 field-goal makes on 38 attempts over 17 contests. He also...

Impact McLaughlin's lone miss Saturday was blocked, but he accounted for the Buccaneers' final nine points with field goals from 29, 36 and 48 yards out, respectively. His leg helped Tampa Bay notch a close victory to keep the team's playoff hopes alive, but the Bucs were ultimately eliminated when Atlanta beat the Saints on Sunday. McLaughlin's 32 field-goal tries and 38 attempts during the campaign were both career-high marks, though this was the first time he converted fewer than 90 percent of his tries since 2022. Nonetheless, the veteran kicker thrived from long distance, going 11-for-12 on FG attempts from 50-plus yards. McLaughlin is signed through next year, so he'll almost certainly be Tampa Bay's kicker when the team begins the regular season next September.
