Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Jake Elliott

Sunday, October 12, 3:13 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (right quadricep) is officially inactive for Sunday's Week 6 contest against the Cincinnati Bengals. He was listed as questionable after being a limited participant in practice. McManus tested his injury pregame, but it was ultimately determined that he won't be able to kick on Sunday afternoon. Fourth-year journeyman kicker Lucas Havrisik is active and will be responsible for all field goals and extra points against the Bengals. He hasn't kicked in a regular-season game since 2023 with the Rams, when he went 15-for-20 on field goals and 19-for-22 on extra points.

Philadelphia Eagles kicker Jake Elliott made both of his extra points and his only field goal attempt from 31 yards against the Broncos to maintain his 100% accuracy rate this season. Unfortunately, his perfect streak still isn't translating to fantasy points. Elliott faces the Giants on Thursday night, a team that he made two-of-three field goals and six-of-six extra points against last year in two meetings. New York allows 25.4 points per game this season, but Elliott should probably still sit this fantasy week out until he starts putting up more numbers week-to-week.
