    The Top Kicker To Start in Week 2

    Brandon McManus, K, Jacksonville Jaguars

    Analysis by Kyle Yates | For kickers in fantasy football, you’re simply looking for opportunities to be on the field. In a game that features a 51-point over/under, there’s a strong possibility that McManus is on the field a ton in Week 2.

    He had a solid performance in Week 1, and that should only escalate from here in Week 2 against the Kansas City Chiefs. If McManus is somehow still available on your fantasy football league’s waiver wire, he should be a priority add due to the upside that he possesses — especially if you’re dealing with a Greg Zuerlein injury on your roster, too.
