Waived by Rams
The Rams waived MacGinnis on Monday, NFL.com's Andrew Siliciano reports.
ANALYSIS
Matt Gay always was the favorite to win the kicking job and now is left as the lone placekicker on the team's roster. MacGinnis has never kicked in an NFL regular-season game, but he did play in the AAF and the XFL before spending time with the Rams' practice squad in 2020.

2020 Fantasy Outlook
MacGinnis most recently played with the Dallas Renegades of the XFL and connected on all 10 of his field-goal attempts before the league's 2020 season was suspended. He joins the Rams to push 2020 seventh-round selection Sam Sloman and Lirim Hajrullahu for the placekicker job that became available when Greg Zuerlein signed with the Cowboys in March. MacGinnis should probably be off your fantasy radar until he's awarded the kicking job for Los Angeles.
