Brandon McManus or Jason Sanders: Fantasy Football Week 1 Kickers
Kickers is one of the most difficult positions to start, but also one that can win you your week. Brandon McManus and Jason Sanders are two of the best kickers in fantasy, so who should you start in Week 1?
Here's a breakdown of each player's matchup and how they've performed in the past:
**Brandon McManus:** McManus is coming off a season in which he made 84.6% of his field goals and 94.7% of his extra points. He has a good matchup in Week 1 against the Tennessee Titans, who allowed the eighth-most fantasy points to kickers last season.
**Jason Sanders:** Sanders is also coming off a strong season in which he made 87.5% of his field goals and 95.7% of his extra points. He has a tougher matchup in Week 1 against the New England Patriots, who allowed the 12th-fewest fantasy points to kickers last season.
Overall, McManus is the safer pick for Week 1, but Sanders has the higher upside. If you're looking for a safe option, go with McManus. If you're willing to take a little more risk, go with Sanders.
