Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Brandon Aubrey

Friday, September 26, 5:13 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus looks to shake off the blocked kick with under a minute left in Week 3 and bounce back as the Packers head to Dallas to play the Cowboys in Week 4. McManus didn't get too many opportunities in Week 3 with the Packers only scoring one touchdown, but he did make a 39-yard field goal, and his 43-yard attempt was blocked, which would have given the Packers a 13-10 lead. Instead, the Browns moved into field goal range themselves and booted home a game-winning field goal. The Packers are an excellent offense, but that doesn't always translate into giving the kicker a lot of runway for fantasy scoring each week. In a matchup like this against the Cowboys in Week 4, McManus enters the streaming kicker conversation as somebody who could get some volume in a controlled, indoor environment like AT&T Stadium.

Dallas Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey will look to continue his electric pace in Week 5 against the New York Jets. Aubrey remains perfect on the season, making all nine of his field goal attempts and all 11 extra points. He currently ranks second among all kickers in fantasy points (12.3), trailing only Colts kicker Spencer Shrader. The Cowboys face the Jets in Week 5, who have allowed the most fantasy points to kickers so far in 2025. With Dallas' offense rolling and Aubrey's accuracy shining, the third-year kicker projects as the top option at his position this week.
