Brandon McManus Fantasy Football News | Shark Bites

Shark Bites are the latest fantasy football news & NFL updates. Draft Sharks has been in business since 1999. And when we started, redraft was the dominant form of fantasy football. Check out what we've learned about this most basic form of fantasy football along the way.

The Packers signed K Brandon McManus to a one-year deal. ESPN's Adam Schefter confirms that McManus is expected to immediately replace K Brayden Narveson, who has made just 12 of 17 FGs this season. McManus sports a career 81.4% FG conversion rate, including 70.5% from 40+ yards. He'll be a fantasy factor on the high-scoring Packers.

The Commanders have released K Brandon McManus. The move comes less than a week after reports of a lawsuit two flight attendants filed against McManus alleging sexual assault during a team flight when McManus played for the Jaguars. Washington had signed McManus to a one-year, $3.6 million deal just this offseason -- opting to add him instead of bringing back 2023 kicker Joey Slye.

The Jaguars are signing former Broncos K Brandon McManus to a one-year deal. Jacksonville is also waiving K Riley Patterson. McManus finished 2022 well behind Patterson in FG conversion rate, hitting just 77.8% of his kicks (29th in the league) vs. Patterson's 85.7% (tied for 17th). But has been better than that overall (81.9% career) and averaged 5 FGs of 50+ yards across seven full year's as Denver's kicker. Landing in the ascending Jaguars offense makes McManus a top-10 option in our updated kicker rankings.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that the Broncos are releasing K Brandon McManus. He spent the past nine years in Denver, converting 81.4% of his career FG attempts. McManus has been especially valuable from deep. He hit 23 FGs from 50+ yards away over just the past three seasons. McManus has also missed just 9 extra-point attempts for his career. He is coming off his third-worst FG rate (77.8%), which ranked 29th in the league. We'd still bet on the 32-year-old landing another opportunity. We'll see who Denver turns to at the position.

Broncos K Brandon McManus (quad) isn’t listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. He put in a full practice on Friday, so the quad shouldn’t be an issue.

Broncos K Brandon McManus (quad) did not practice on Wednesday. We'll see if he's able to play vs. the Chiefs this weekend, but we'd look elsewhere for your Week 14 fantasy kicker.

Broncos K Brandon McManus has been activated from the COVID list. He'll be available for Saturday's finale vs. the Chiefs.

Broncos K Brandon McManus landed on the COVID list on Monday. He has a chance to be cleared in time for Saturday's finale vs. the Chiefs, but you should be lining up another option if you were hoping to use McManus in Week 18 fantasy lineups.
