BALLER MOVE: Start
POSITIONAL VALUE: K1
ANALYSIS: It's difficult to predict kicker scoring in the NFL, but Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Chase McLaughlin has two very big things going for him -- he's on a good offense and he's accurate. Those are the two biggest considerations fantasy managers should account for when choosing a kicker to start.
It helps that he's facing the New Orleans Saints, who have allowed 9.2 fantasy points per game to kickers, third highest in the league. Tampa Bay's offense has given McLaughlin ten opportunities to kick field goals and he's nailed all of them. He's also booted 13/14 extra point attempts through the uprights.

He's been playing lights-out this season and is an incredibly easy start-sit decision. He's been drilling kicks from over 50 yards out and looks to be playing the best football of his life. His starting job is in no danger and he's not dealing with any reported injuries.
Start him.
