Along the Offenisve Line: Charlie Johnson is no longer starting. Schedule Difficulty: Based on winning percentage the teams on the schedule Manning playes this year (105 - 103 - 0 0.505%) will be more difficult compared to the teams on the schedule from last season (101 - 106 - 1 0.488%), but this season's teams gave up more points (4,675) compared to last season's teams (4,412) so this could mean more fantasy points. Performance Against Sub 500 Teams: Manning surprisingly had a higher fantasy avg (18.21 pts/game) against winning teams last year compared to teams with a losing record (17.97 pts/game), so with a more difficult schedule for the upcoming season it could also be an indication of a higher fantasy average.

Total Yards Against Ranking: 14.08 - 6 Top 10 Defenses and 4 Top 5 Defenses) compared to the upcoming season (Avg.
