Brandon McManus A Fringe Starter Against Miami
4 years agoDenver Broncos kicker Brandon McManus has made 94.7 percent of his field-goal tries (18-for-19) this year and 94.1 percent of his extra-point tries (16-for-17) in nine games this season. His lone field-goal miss came from 50-plus yards, too. McManus also hasn't missed a kick since he shanked an extra point in Week 7 against the Chiefs. So why is he just a fringe fantasy starter in 14-team leagues? The Dolphins, his Week 11 opponent, have allowed the second-fewest fantasy points per game to the kicking position and the fewest field-goal attempts (nine) in the league. Plus, McManus has only attempted 19 field goals, which is tied for 13th in the NFL. An already disjointed Denver offense could be without quarterback Drew Lock (ribs) this week as well, making McManus a risky option.
