Johnny Manziel to start rest of season

Nov 17, 2015

NFL Media Insider Ian Rapoport reports the Cleveland Browns will start Johnny Manziel at quarterback for the remainder of the season, according to a source informed of the Browns' plans.

Jay Glazer first reported the news.

Fantasy Impact:

It's time to see what Manziel can do after the Browns took him in the first round last year. He's coming off one of his better games in a loss to the Steelers last week in what was a tough, fantasy matchup. Manziel was able to feed targets WR Travis Benjamin as well as TE Gary Barnidge, which is good news for their upside going forward. RB Duke Johnson is a threat to catch balls out of the backfield, but the Browns haven't really been able to establish a consistent run game this season. Manziel and the offense should be playing from behind a lot the rest of the way so Manziel has some streaming and QB2 value.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
