Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Evan McPherson

Friday, November 21, 7:12 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quad) is off the injury report for the Packers and is good to go when the team hosts the Minnesota Vikings in Week 12. Even when healthy, McManus hasn't been too productive for fantasy managers this season despite being in an above-average Green Bay offense. He's missed at least one field goal in all three games since his initial Week 8 return from a quad injury that sidelined him for a pair of games. On the campaign, he's made just 11-of-17 field goals after making 20-of-21 field goals last season when replacing Brayden Narveson early last season. For fantasy purposes, McManus is a kicker to leave on the waiver wire for the Packers' game in Week 12.

Cincinnati Bengals kicker Evan McPherson has been a more consistent option over the last few weeks. Over the last three games, McPherson has made 7-of-8 field goal attempts, while connecting on all 12 extra point kicks during that span. The Bengals offense has been moving the ball better lately with Joe Flacco under center. They head into a matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. McPherson knocked down seven kicks during their last meeting. Given his recent success, McPherson is worth a look as a streaming option for fantasy managers in need of a kicker in Week 11.
