Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Manning playes this year (108 - 99 - 1 0.522%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (101 - 105 - 2 0.490%), but this season's teams gave up more points (4,702) compared to last season's teams (4,457) so this could mean more fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Manning had a lower fantasy avg (12.52 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (17.03 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could be an indication of less points.

Total Yards Against Ranking: 13.46 - 6 Top 10 Defenses and 3 Top 5 Defenses) compared to the upcoming season (Avg.

Starting Position Performance against Defenses: Starting Quarterbacks averaged more points (15.74 pts/game) against this season's teams compared to last season's teams (15.17 pts/game), which could be an indication that Manning will exceed last year's fantasy point total.
