Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Matt Gay

Saturday, November 8, 5:24 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus has put together a string of full practices this week and was removed from the team's injury report before the Packers' game with the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 10. Since returning in Week 8 from a two-game absence, McManus has made just 4-of-7 field goal attempts but has made all four of his extra point attempts. The Packers have been a very volatile offense in terms of week-to-week consistency, but Green Bay losing tight end Tucker Kraft to a season-ending injury definitely wipes out some of the Packers' offensive firepower. In Week 10 against the Eagles, McManus is, at best, a low-end start for fantasy on Monday Night Football.

Washington Commanders kicker Matt Gay has been mediocre this season, making 10 of his 14 field goal attempts and nailing all 20 extra points. Gay has struggled from attempts north of 50 yards for his career, and that's continued this season, with three of his four misses coming from attempts 50 yards or longer. The 31-year-old's 71.4% field goal percentage ranks 30th in the league out of 33 qualified kickers, well below the league average of 83.6%. Gay could be a decent option in Week 10 versus the Lions in one of the highest projected games of the week, but Washington's offense also has less juice with starting quarterback Jayden Daniels (elbow) out for multiple weeks.
