Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Tyler Loop

Friday, October 24, 6:49 PM

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus (quad) is listed as questionable ahead of the Week 8 matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. McManus has been limited in practice for each of the last two games. He has missed the last two games, but is hopeful to play this weekend. Lucas Havrisik has been the starting kicker in his place over the last two weeks. The 26-year-old has been perfect on all his kicks and could be a possible streaming option if McManus remains sidelined for a third straight week.

Baltimore Ravens kicker Tyler Loop was firmly in the K1 discussion across the first two weeks of the season. Then, Lamar Jackson (hamstring) went down, and the entire offense came to a screeching halt. Over the last three games, he's made a combined four out of five field goals and three out of three extra points. In comparison, he was 4-for-4 and 9-for-10 in the first two games. With Lamar Jackson (hamstring) on the verge of returning to the field, Loop should see a noticeable uptick in opportunities as well. Tyler Huntley could start in Week 8, but either way, Loop is trending upwards and could be a starting option again for fantasy managers looking for kicking help.
