Packers rookie kicker Trey Smack is now the team's sole kicker after cuts of veteran kickers
The Packers have moved on from both Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik, leaving undrafted/rookie kicker Trey Smack as the last kicker standing on the roster. For fantasy purposes, this is a clean sweep of the competition rather than a true battle resolved by performance — Smack simply outlasted two veteran names in roster cuts, which is notable but comes with only moderate confidence given the limited reporting detail.
For McManus and Havrisik, this effectively ends their fantasy relevance in Green Bay; if you rostered either in a deep keeper or dynasty league kicker stash, you can drop them now and monitor the wire for whichever team they latch onto next, since veteran kickers with track records often get a second look elsewhere during camp cut season. Neither is worth holding on your bench through the preseason.
Trey Smack becomes the presumptive Packers kicker heading into the regular season by default, but rookie kickers with zero NFL competition and no proven track record are inherently volatile streaming options at best. In draft prep, treat him as a very late-round flier or waiver-wire watch rather than a locked-in selection — kicker competitions can still shift with a late roster move or a poor summer showing, and a rookie winning the job by attrition isn't the same as winning it by beating out established talent. Keep him on your radar for post-Week 1 pickup rather than committing draft capital, and revisit once preseason performance and any further roster moves clarify his standing. Confidence here is moderate; monitor for follow-up news before final roster locks.
The Packers drafted kicker Trey Smack in the sixth round this year, then cut veterans Brandon McManus and Lucas Havrisik to leave Smack as the only kicker on the roster.
