Manson contributed a pair of helpers in Tuesday's win over the Capitals.
EDGE Analysis
That's a three-game point streak for Manson, who logged 21:35 of ice time in the victory. The 26-year-old doesn't see power-play time, but he's been a solid source of fantasy production on the second defensive pairing, recording 30 points and a plus-24 rating in 67 contests. Considering his willingness to block shots and lay out the body, Manson makes for one of the better well-rounded fantasy blueliners in the league.

Manson scored a goal and received a minor penalty during Friday's 4-2 win over Columbus.
EDGE Analysis
The tally improves Manson to 27 points through 65 games, as his breakout campaign continues. The 25-year-old defenseman also offers excellent peripheral contributions with 94 shots, 60 PIM, 133 hits, 80 blocked shots and a plus-24 rating. While he might currently be punching a bit above his weight class offensively, the cross-category production makes Manson a high-floor asset in plenty of fantasy settings.

Manson recorded an assist, two shots and aplus-2 rating during Tuesday's 6-3 win over the Rangers.
EDGE Analysis
Manson has now collected six helpers, seven PIM and a plus-9 rating through his past nine games, as he continues to provide solid cross-category fantasy numbers. He's already posted a career-high 23 points this season and also sports a high-end plus-23 rating. It's all the more impressive because he's locked into a shut-down role alongside Hampus Lindholm and has begun 59.8 percent of his five-on-five shifts in the defensive zone. Manson is probably still not a universal asset, but he's proving to be a solid blueliner to round out a defense corps in plenty of leagues.

Manson garnered three helpers in a 5-0 rout of Vancouver on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Manson is now up to 20 points in 41 games this year, which is a new career high four the fourth-year NHLer and tops among Ducks D-men. Combined with his 85 hits, 50 blocked shots and over 20 minutes of average ice time, Manson is quickly becoming a must-own fantasy asset in all but the shallowest of formats.

Manson had a pair of assists Monday in a 5-3 loss to New Jersey.
EDGE Analysis
This is something of a hot streak for Manson, as he's now put up three points in two games. However, it's come at a price, as he had a pedestrian two hits and didn't block a shot, categories where he usually excels. Owners aren't going to complain about the sudden offense, but he's much more likely to be consistent on the defensive side of the fantasy ledger.

Manson recorded an assist, two hits, two blocked shots, two PIM and a plus-2 rating through 21:08 of ice time during Wednesday's 3-0 win over Ottawa.
EDGE Analysis
While the helper snapped a seven-game point drought, Manson's still posted a respectable three goals and 12 points through 29 games for the campaign. Additionally, offense isn't his calling card. In deep fantasy settings, the shut-down defender moves the needle through his peripheral contributions, as he's up to 51 shots, 37 PIM, 65 hits, 35 blocked shots and a plus-8 rating.

Manson lit the lamp and added an assist in a 4-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
This is Manson's first goal of the season, but he has eight assists to go with that. The 25-year-old's minutes are way up, perhaps in part due to injury, and it's paying off for him, and fantasy owners, thus far.

Manson recorded a shot, two hits and a plus-1 rating through 21:31 of ice time during Sunday's 2-1 loss to Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Manson's numbers are never going to jump off the page, but he's quietly collected seven assists, 32 shots, 24 PIM, 40 hits, 19 blocked shots and a plus-9 rating through 17 contests. Those are respectable marks in deeper settings. Unfortunately, Manson pairs with Hampus Lindholm as a shut-down tandem for Anaheim, so there is limited upside. The fantasy floor and cross-category production is reliable, though.

Manson has recorded four assists and a plus-7 rating while averaging 22:26 of ice time per contest through seven games this season.
EDGE Analysis
With the Ducks missing multiple defensemen due to injury, Manson has been tasked with a larger role after averaging just 18:38 of ice time per game in 2016-17. The 25-year-old blue liner has been up to the task, and he checks out as a potential add in deep settings because of his cross-category profile. Just note that Manson's minutes and fantasy value will likely decline once Anaheim has a healthy defense corps.

Manson picked up two assists and was a plus-3 in a 3-2 win against the Islanders on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It's nice that Manson had a multi-point game here, but offense has never been his forte. He's never had more than 17 points in a season. Manson also has put exactly 88 shots on net in each of his last two years. This game isn't likely to be a sign of anything going forward.
