• Packers' Brandon McManus: Hits two extra points

  5D ago • By RotoWire

  McManus made both extra points he attempted in Sunday's 20-19 victory over the Bears. Possessions were limited for the Packers on Sunday and they attempted a two-point conversion on one of their three touchdown drives, so McManus was limited to only the two extra-point attempts in Week 11. Green Bay will next face a San Francisco team that ranks middle-of-the-pack against opposing kickers, both in recent weeks and over the course of the season.

• Packers' Brandon McManus: Misfires for first time

  19D ago • By RotoWire

  McManus made two of three field-goal attempts in Sunday's 24-14 loss to the Lions. Sunday's rainy conditions at Lambeau Field certainly were not ideal for kicking, but nonetheless, McManus misfired from 46 yards out in the second quarter -- his first miss in three games with the Packers. Green Bay will be on bye in Week 10, so those who have added him to their fantasy rosters will need to look for another option. There is reason to replace him altogether, but it should be noted that since McManus made his season debut in Week 7, only five more kickers -- pending the results of the Monday night game -- have attempted more field goals.

• Packers' Brandon McManus: Buries another game-winner

  26D ago • By RotoWire

  McManus made all three field goals he attempted -- including a game-winning 24-yarder as time expired -- and three extra points in Sunday's 30-27 victory over the Jaguars. McManus buried a game-winning kick against the Texans in Week 7, and he accomplished the same feat just seven days later. He has made all 10 kicks he has gotten up -- four field goals and six extra points -- since joining the Packers, which is exactly what Green Bay was looking for when adding him to the roster in mid-October.

• Packers' Brandon McManus: Makes game-winning kick

  10/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  McManus made all three extra points he attempted and a game-winning 45-yard field goal as time expired in Sunday's 24-22 victory over the Texans. McManus replaced Brayden Narveson as Green Bay's kicker last week, and it took him no time at all to make an impact for his new team. The Packers have been seeking consistency at the kicker spot for a while, so he figures to hold down the job for a team that ranks seventh in the league at 26.6 points per game with two games to go in Week 7.

• Packers' Brandon McManus: New kicker for Green Bay

  10/15/2024 • By RotoWire

  McManus agreed to a one-year deal with the Packers on Tuesday and is expected to serve as the team's kicker for Sunday's game against the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. McManus spent his first nine seasons with the Broncos before catching on with Jacksonville during the 2023 campaign. He converted 30 of 37 field goal attempts and all 35 extra-points during his stint with the Jaguars. The veteran then landed with the Commanders in the offseason but was subsequently let go one week after reports surfaced that he was the subject of a civil lawsuit. With the NFL conducting an investigation that found insufficient evidence of McManus violating the league's personal conduct policy, the Packers apparently felt comfortable with bringing the 33-year-old aboard to upgrade their kicking game. Green Bay will waive Brayden Narveson to make room on the roster for McManus.
