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.

Cowboys TE Jake Ferguson officially Out for Week 12

Cowboys list TE Jake Ferguson as out for Sunday’s game vs. Washington due to his concussion.

Related Players: Luke Schoonmaker

Fantasy Impact:

This puts Schoonmaker more or less in TE streaming consideration, but there are far better options this week, which puts him low on the totem pole.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith officially Out for Week 12

Eagles ruled out WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) for Sunday against the Rams.

Related Players: A.J. Brown, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson, Dallas Goedert

Fantasy Impact:

It's a bit of a crapshoot as to who the "WR2" on the offense will be, but now that he's ruled out, Brown and Goedert should get a nice boost to their bottom line. That would lock Goedert into a no-doubt TE1 role in Week 12.
