Packers' Brandon McManus: Buries another game-winner
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
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
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.

Commanders' Brandon McManus: Joins Commanders
Rotowire
McManus agreed to terms on a one-year, $3.6 million contract with Washington on Monday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
McManus' deal presumably indicates Joey Slye will not be brought back by Washington. The 32-year-old McManus spent his first nine seasons in Denver before converting 30 of 37 field goals and all 35 extra points for the Jaguars in 2023. It remains to be seen if the Commanders will bring in any competition for the veteran kicker.

Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Perfect in season finale
Rotowire
McManus made both field-goal attempts and both PATs against the Titans in Week 18. He played in all 17 games and went 30-for-37 on field goals and 35-for-35 on PATs.
The 32-year-old tied a career high with 125 points, and it was the first time since 2018 he didn't miss an extra point. Five of McManus' misses came from beyond 50 yards, with the other two being from 40-to-49 yards, so he should be able to secure a contract for 2024 somewhere after kicking for the Jags on a one-year deal.

Jaguars' Brandon McManus: Kicker to Sit
Rotowire
McManus has two games with at least 10 Fantasy points and two games with eight points or less. He's coming off a great outing against Atlanta in London in Week 4 with three made field goals and two PATs, so hopefully staying in the same building will help against the Bills. But Buffalo has been among the league leaders in fewest Fantasy points allowed to opposing kickers, especially during a three-game winning streak. The Bills allowed Greg Zuerlein to make three field goals and one PAT in Week 1. Since then, in matchups with Daniel Carlson, Joey Slye and Jason Sanders, Buffalo has allowed two made field goals and three PATs. I'd try to avoid McManus this week if you can.
