Past Fantasy Outlooks

2020
Blankenship is locked into a heated training camp/preseason competition with Chase McLaughlin entering the midpoint of the exhibition slate. The Georgia product did not kick again last season following a Week 1 release by the Colts, and he owns career 83.9 percent and 93.1 percent success rates on field-goal attempts and extra-point tries, respectively. If Blankenship does win the job battle, he'll be attached to a Buccaneers offense with some solid pass-catching playmakers but questionable quarterback play, a recipe that could lead to plenty of field-goal opportunities.
Blankenship saw his 2021 season cut short by a hip injury after five games. He wasn't especially sharp while healthy, but his replacement, Michael Badgley, was not retained this offseason, leaving Blankenship to reclaim the job. The addition of QB Matt Ryan should improve the Colts offense, though Blankenship's lack of leg strength remains a limiting factor.
Despite winning the Lou Groza Award in college, Blankenship wasn't selected in the 2020 draft. The Colts ended up benefitting from the oversight, though the rookie did have a big miss in the team's playoff loss to Buffalo. Overall, Blankenship had a solid year, missing only five kicks (including PATs) inside of 50 yards. He may not have the strongest leg, but he's an accurate kicker on a solid team.
With Adam Vinatieri no longer in the mix, Blankenship -- a 2020 undrafted free agent -- and 2019 late-season replacement Chase McLaughlin, faced off for the Colts' placekicking job this summer. It was a job won by Blankenship. During his college career with Georgia, Blankenship made 80 of his 97 field goal attempts (81.8 percent) and hit all 200 of his extra points.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To compete with McLaughlin
KTampa Bay Buccaneers
June 16, 2023
Blankenship, who signed with the Buccaneers on Thursday, will compete with fellow former Colts teammate Chase McLaughlin for Tampa Bay's starting placekicker job this summer, Scott Smith of the team's official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Blankenship participated in the Buccaneeers' three-day minicamp on a tryout basis this week and apparently performed well enough to earn an extended look in training camp. After posting an 84.3-percent success rate on field-goal attempts and a 94.3-percent figure on extra-point tries with the Colts over his first two seasons, Blankenship lasted just one game with the team in 2022 before being swapped out for McLaughlin, who he beat out for Indianapolis' starting job in 2020.
