Who Should I Start? Cairo Santos or Brandon McManus

Saturday, November 22, 9:59 AM

Chicago Bears kicker Cairo Santos is coming off his best game of the season in Week 11, knocking down four of five field goals, including the game-winner to beat the division rival Minnesota Vikings. It's been an up-and-down year for Santos, who's fought through injuries and kicker controversy with Jake Moody earlier in the year. With Moody in Washington and the injuries behind the veteran kicker, Santos will look to fire off a strong finish to his 12th season. He faces a great matchup in Week 12, against a Pittsburgh Steelers defense that has allowed the third-most fantasy points per game to kickers this season. With good weather expected and a ton of confidence, Santos is worth starting in Week 12.

Green Bay Packers kicker Brandon McManus matched his best fantasy output of the season in Week 12 and looks to keep that run going when the Packers head to Ford Field to face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. McManus was successful on all three of his field goal attempts in Week 12 against the Minnesota Vikings, making kicks of 32, 30, and 40 yards. Also booting home both extra point attempts, McManus was K10 on the week and could be on the upswing now from a quad injury that's affected him at times this season. With the Packers heading to Detroit for their Week 13 matchup, McManus is a low-end starter for fantasy purposes.
