Proven kicker in his prime — production and runway both hold.

DVS is our model view, scored on Engine-default half-PPR — not a guaranteed price in your league. Bye weeks and schedule strength are left out on purpose.

Quick answer

Hold

McLaughlin made 2 field goals in 2026, finishing K9. Played a short 2026 (1 games) — health is the nearer question than talent. The 2026 projection is modest — the role has to hold. This reads as a hold — nothing in the recent signal pushes it toward a buy or a sell.
