Brandon McManus — 2026 Fantasy Outlook
The case for drafting him
McManus has been a reliable volume kicker across three seasons. In 2023 he connected on 30 of 37 field goal attempts, including 11 from 40-49 yards and 5 from 50-plus, while converting all 35 extra point attempts. The three-year averages tell a consistent story: 24.7 made field goals, 32.3 made extra points, and 29.3 attempts per season. He now lands in Green Bay, a franchise that has historically kept its kicker busy. For a drafter who wants a kicker with a track record of high-volume opportunities and proven range beyond 50 yards, McManus checks those boxes.
What the model projects
The projection is 97.5 half-PPR fantasy points. His draft value is -78.5, placing him #290 overall and K28. He sits in Tier 9. Those numbers reflect where kickers land in a value-over-replacement framework: even a productive kicker operates well below replacement level in a 12-team half-PPR context, and McManus is no exception at this rank.
| FG | FGM | XP | Half-PPR | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2023 | 30 | 6 | 35 | 140.0 |
| 2024 | 20 | 1 | 30 | 98.0 |
| 2025 | 24 | 5 | 32 | 108.0 |
| 3-yr avg | 24.7 | 4 | 32.3 | 28.3 |
The range of outcomes
The simulated season band is wide, as it is for every kicker. The bottom 10% of simulated seasons lands at 11.9 points. The 25th percentile is 60.8 points. The median simulated season comes in at 108.6 points, above the 97.5 point estimate. The 75th percentile is 127.4 points, and the top 10% of simulated seasons reaches 151.2 points. That spread from 11.9 to 151.2 captures how volatile a kicker's season can be, driven by opportunity, accuracy, and game script. The 2024 season, when McManus attempted just 21 field goals compared to 37 in 2023, illustrates exactly that kind of year-to-year swing.

How to draft him
McManus carries no market ADP in the FACTS, which means he is not being drafted consistently enough across platforms to register one. In a 12-team half-PPR snake draft, that puts him firmly in the undrafted or very late waiver-wire territory. His K28 rank and #290 overall placement confirm he is a late-round or post-draft consideration. If you are targeting a kicker with a three-year track record of volume and long-range capability, McManus is a name to monitor, but there is no pick cost to plan around at this time.

Very. The simulated season band runs from 11.9 points at the 10th percentile to 151.2 points at the 90th percentile, with a median of 108.6 points. His 2024 season, when he attempted just 21 field goals after 37 in 2023, shows that kind of swing is real.
He has no market ADP in the current data, meaning he is not being consistently drafted across platforms. His #290 overall rank and K28 position rank place him in undrafted or very late territory in a 12-team snake draft.

Beyond the rankings
This page ranks the players. Nobody has ranked the people in your league.
Half your room drafts off a sheet like this one. The managers who cash every year aren't holding a better sheet; they have tendencies, and after enough seasons the tendencies are a book. Your league's own draft history is where it's written.
RotoAlpha reads it. Paste your past drafts, from any platform, and every manager in your league gets a profile: who reaches, who chases runs, who pays up for their own team. Then it sits with you on draft night with a plan that adapts pick by pick, knowing who is likely to reach next.
Names invented. Most long-running leagues have a table like this.
