Is Johnny Manziel Turning the Corner?

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12- and 14-Team Leagues

OWNED IN: 16% Fleaflicker

ANALYSIS: I’m kind of disappointed that Johnny Manziel hasn’t run more this season, because that would make him a LOT more interesting from a fantasy perspective. Out of the quarterbacks owned in under 25% of leagues, I still like him the most anyway, as he has some upside. In Weeks 12 & 14, Manziel threw for 372 and 270 yards. respectively. I thought he did a respectable job against a tough Seattle Seahawks defense in Week 15, with just one interception while completing 59% of his passes.

Manziel knows he is playing to set himself up for a shot at the starting role in 2016. I think he may finally be turning the page and starting to ‘get it.’ The upcoming Kansas City Chiefs matchup is an interesting one. The Chiefs started off the season horribly, and then went through a five-game stretch where they gave up just four passing touchdowns and recorded 12 interceptions. Now, over the last four games, they are somewhere in the middle, giving up multiple passing touchdowns in three of the last four games while also making some big plays defensively. My thinking is if Jimmy Clausen can throw two touchdowns with the Baltimore Ravens' receivers, there is no reason Manziel don't the same.
