Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Jason Myers

Monday, March 11, 11:22 PM

Free-agent kicker Brandon McManus agreed to a one-year, $3.6 million contract with Washington on Monday night. The 32-year-old spent his first nine seasons in Denver before landing in Jacksonville for the 2023-24 campaign. He had one of the best seasons of his career, connecting on 30 of his 37 field goal tries while nailing all 35 extra-point attempts. McManus finished last season a borderline top-10 fantasy kicker, so there's no reason to believe he can't come close to matching that level of production. However, there will be plenty of better kickers ahead of him in pre-draft rankings heading into Week 1. Either way, the veteran will likely find his way onto most fantasy rosters.

Seattle Seahawks kicker Jason Myers went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts and connected on both extra-point tries in Week 17 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. The field goal attempts were from 24, 42, and 43 yards away. Myers has been perfect on extra-point attempts all season and he now has a four-game streak without a missed field goal. Myers' 33 made field goals are tied for second-most and only two behind league leader Brandon Aubrey. He will try to extend his streak to a fifth game when the Seahawks play the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday. The Cardinals have only seen four field goal attempts in the last three weeks but opponents have scored 13 touchdowns in that time, so Myers figures to be involved one way or another in the last game of the regular season. Fantasy managers still playing in Week 18 can feel secure in giving Myers one last start.
