Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Andy Borregales

Sunday, November 16, 11:37 AM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 11 contest against the New York Giants. He was a full participant in practice this week and didn't get added to the injury report until Saturday. Once he was added, though, the team listed him as doubtful, indicating that he likely wouldn't play. Lucas Havrisik, who is 6-for-6 on extra points and 4-for-4 on field goals this year, will kick in his absence.

New England Patriots kicker Andy Borregales should continue to be a reliable scoring option during Thursday Night Football against the New York Jets in Week 11. After a shaky start to the season, Borregales has found his footing and rattled off an impressive eight-game streak of perfect kicks. During that span, he's 26-for-26 on extra points and 9-for-9 on field goals. He still ranks as the overall K15 this year due to the Patriots' relatively lower frequency of field goal attempts, but managers should remain confident that the kicker will deliver when called upon. In fact, we could see him get more involved this week against the Jets, who have allowed 26.8 offensive points per game (seventh-most in the NFL). From a fantasy perspective, they've allowed the NFL's most fantasy points per game to opposing kickers at 10.8, which is a full point higher than the second-worst team. All the stars are aligning for Borregales to have a big showing on Thursday Night Football. He's a top-12 kicking option heading into Week 11.
