Who Should I Start? Brandon McManus or Zane Gonzalez

Los Angeles Rams kicker Brandon McManus is an appealing streamer for Sunday's Week 10 contest against the Arizona Cardinals. McManus has been money since signing with the Rams, going 10-for-10 on extra points and 3-for-3 on field goals across three games. For several years now, Rams kickers have been riskier fantasy options because they don't often attempt field goals. In many cases, the team will either score a touchdown or go for it on fourth down, leading to fewer high-value field goal attempts. That wasn't the case for McManus last week, as he attempted two field goals, and that might also not be the case in Week 10. The Rams will be without both Davante Adams (hamstring) and Puka Nacua (knee) on Sunday, and with a less potent offense, we may see them stall in field goal range more often. That bodes well for McManus, who ranks as the overall K13 in RotoBaller's latest fantasy football rankings for Week 10. He also gets a somewhat favorable matchup against the Cardinals, who have allowed a decent average of 1.6 field goals per game this year. While we do view McManus as a solid streamer, he's not someone you'll be committed to for the rest of the season. Notably, he has a Week 11 bye, so he can be dropped in most leagues after he serves his purpose in your Week 10 lineups.
