Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Jason Sanders

Tuesday, October 1, 5:38 AM

The NFL has completed its investigation into former Jaguars kicker Brandon McManus and found insufficient evidence to support a violation of the personal conduct policy. As a result, McManus will not face any league discipline and is free to sign with any team. With the league's clearance, McManus could soon find a new home in the NFL. He played for the Jaguars in 2023 before signing with the Commanders in March, but he was released in June after allegations surfaced in a lawsuit, and he has remained unsigned since. The league's decision not to impose discipline may encourage a team to bring him on board during the season, as he is now eligible to sign with any franchise.

Miami Dolphins kicker Jason Sanders will not be a recommended fantasy option in Week 5 when his team takes on the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Sanders has missed just two field goals on the season and has yet to miss an extra point attempt in four contests. However, scoring opportunities have been challenging to come by, with Miami punching in just three touchdowns through the first month of games. This offense continues to trend negatively until quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (concussion) returns. Despite the 28-year-old's trademark accuracy, fantasy managers may want to aim elsewhere for a more consistent kicking option that garners a higher floor and ceiling regarding weekly output. The former seventh-round pick is RotoBaller's K28 in this Week's rankings.
