Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Wil Lutz

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.

Denver Broncos kicker Wil Lutz (illness) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice after being limited with an illness earlier in the week. The 31-year-old is good to go and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Las Vegas Raiders on Thursday night. He will look to right the ship in Week 10 after missing his first field goal of the season in Week 9. He dealt with an illness during the week and doesn't carry an injury designation versus the Raiders on Thursday night. To be fair, the Houston Texans blocked the field goal attempt, which was from 51 yards out. The Raiders average 26.3 points allowed per game, which enabled Lutz more opportunities than he had in Week 9 to put points up on the board. In what could be a close game due to the division rivalry, managers should count on Lutz to bounce back as RotoBaller has him ranked at 11 overall for the week.
