Waiver Wire
Mike
Mario Manningham, WR, SF
When Manningham signed with San Fran, he thought he moved up the depth chart from his previous spot as the 3rd option in the Giants’ passing game. What he quickly found out was being Alex Smith’s second option was no great shakes. I’d bet he’d like a ‘do over’ on that decision. Now in Week 12, he had Kaepernick target him five times. Mario caught all five passes thrown his way and netted 65 yards. This was his highest number of targets and catches since Week 6. With Kaepernick under center, you’ll most likely see a shift to a more passing-friendly offense as Alex Smith is more game manager than gunslinger. I’d scoop Manningham up. He’s young, experienced, and has good hands. He had double-digit points in PPR leagues from Week 4 through Week 7, and should now be a solid flex option with hopes of being a #2WR with Kaepernick starting.
