Who wants to play Cleveland Browns new starting quarterback Johnny Manziel in their Daily Fantasy Sports lineup Sunday?  Does he have any value?

Browns head coach Mike Pettine officially named Manziel over Brian Hoyer on Tuesday to start in Week 15 vs. the Bengals.

"We are trying to get the offense to perform at a higher level," Pettine said. "Johnny has worked very hard to earn this opportunity and it will be very important for every member of the offense to elevate their play for us to obtain our desired result."

If a brief stint against Buffalo is any indication, Manziel could reward Fantasy enthusiasts.  In that game, Manziel completing 5 of 8 passes for 68 yards and adding 13 yards on the ground, including a 10-yard score.

Rotoworld writes: “Manziel projects to give the team a spark with both his superior play-making ability and increased zip on the football.”

They added: “With this running ability, a healthy Jordan Cameron and an active Josh Gordon, Manziel's statistical floor is high. He'll be a top-14 QB option with upside against the Bengals.”
