Brandon McManus Won't Suit Up Against Arizona

Sunday, October 19, 4:17 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 7 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. He had been listed as questionable but was trending in the wrong direction after missing all three practices this past week. Lucas Havrisik will operate as the Packers' kicker for the second week in a row. Last Sunday, he had a productive outing with two field goals and three extra points. He could enjoy similar success this week against a struggling Cardinals team.

Blake Grupe Looks to Keep Hot Streak Alive in Week 7

Saturday, October 18, 1:05 AM

New Orleans Saints kicker Blake Grupe was perfect in Week 6, making all four field goal attempts and his lone extra point in the loss to the Patriots. This marks his second straight game with four field goals, and with New Orleans struggling to reach the end zone, Grupe has established himself as one of the more reliable fantasy kickers, currently ranking fifth overall. He's 14-for-19 on field goals and 9-for-9 on extra points this season. Grupe faces the Bears in Week 7, who have allowed 8.2 fantasy points per game to kickers, 10th in the league. With the Saints moving the ball but struggling to score touchdowns, Grupe offers a strong floor and high-upside production for fantasy rosters.
